T-Mobile Home Internet incompatible with MLB The Show?
-
I see a lot of people are disregarding my problem. I have had tmobile for years as it is by far the best internet provider available where I live, yet this is the first year that I haven't been able to play online. I can even still play online in 24 but something was changed in the game this year that messes with the connection.
-
Can not be on Tmobile if it's still working for every other game I have ever played.
-
I have TMobile home internet because we have no other high speed options. My experience has been positive with The Show and COD. My madden experience on the other hand led to me giving up on the game. It was simply unplayable online.

I took okgo_XBL’s advice and purchased a VPN capable router on Amazon (I went with the TP Link AXE 5400). Once it arrived, I connected it to my T-Mobile box and ran through the basic setup. Next, I added my NordVPN account as a VPN client, and then chose a config file to put on the router. I can now play DD online when using my VPN router.
Its ridiculous that we T-Mobile users have to buy a new router and get a VPN account to play this game, but if you want to play DD with T-Mobile bad enough, this is the only fix I know of.

My dial-up isn't running smooth either.

@solidsnake_222_PSN could you give more detail on how you did this and what you purchased? I might want to try this and need to know everything I need before I start purchasing the items. Thank you!

See my previous comment for the exact router I bought. I have heard you can use any router with VPN capability, but I named the one that I purchased. Once it arrives, you just need to run an Ethernet cable from one of the two Ethernet ports on the T-Mobile modem to the Internet port on the router. From there, you just complete the basic router setup. This will be different depending on the router you buy, but with the TP-Link I bought, I did most of the setup through the TP-Link Tether app on iOS. Alternatively, you can use a web browser and go to http://192.168.0.1 and complete the setup there. Then you just go to advanced settings>VPN client and input your VPN information. Mine was NordVPN, so I signed in with my username and password. Then, you just need to download the config file for the server you want. In my case, NordVPN provides them all on their website under an OpenVPN tab on their site.
TP Link holds your hand through all of this step by step. Other routers might as well, I can’t comment on that. All I know is this worked for me, and the setup from taking the router out of the box to completing the VPN setup all took under an hour. I’m more than happy to answer any specific questions you have, or lend whatever further assistance I can if you can’t get this working.

Thank you kind person!

@solidsnake_222_PSN I'm having this issue and I'm just wondering if you know why the VPN works? I'm glad it does, but how exactly does that make the problem go away? I've never used one before but I'm very close to trying it for this problem.
-
I saw it explained on Reddit before, but I’m not super knowledgeable with computers and networking so I can’t really speak to that.
-
Not sure what they did, but I was able to play completely fine last night. Have not tried today yet so don't know if it was a one day fluke or if they actually fixed it. So it might be good to check again before buying a VPN
-
@solidsnake_222_PSN can you tell me who posted it on Reddit or where I can find it? I've tried everything short of the VPN and I'm out of options.
-
@solidsnake_222_PSN wait, you're telling me that you have a T-Mobile router plus another VPN capable router in your home? You connected them with an ethernet cable, then downloaded the NordVPN software onto the other router? Is that what I'm hearing?
-
Prayers for your opponent; you’ll get a lot if quitting/disconnected wins that’s for sure

@solidsnake_222_PSN
Did this get resolved yet and how they fixed it. -
@Xmas-Reeper_PSN if you have crappy internet you probably don’t notice it but the other guy is seeing 104mph curveballs and stutter.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL the two games you mentioned COD and the Show are both notorious for insane lag comp. The games are probably entirely playable for you but I can guarantee that you’re laggy and stuttering all over the place on your opponents screen.
-
I would attempt to use a third party WiFi router. Your issue is likely equipment related , and the settings of said equipment
-
Strange, I haven’t had a single one yet. Also tons of GGs from my opponents with none mentioning any lag, and not the slightest bit of lag on my end. It’s almost like you don’t know what you’re talking about.
