The problem is generally caused by the way miHoYo’s servers connect with each other. In the above command prompt screenshot you can see – when we manually checked the ping for the Genshin Impact Asia server, the response time was around 86~87. But the actual ping that we get while playing Genshin Impact is around 147~150.

This happens because we don’t directly connect to our nearest server. Instead we connect to a server that has already been connected via two or more serves. (For ex- miHoYo’s Asia server –> US server –> Japan, India or any other Asian country)
