High ping and takes for ever to join a new round

[Straight_Ace]

I have a very strong internet connection but whenever I play on FCV server I get 225 ping !! and when I play CO I get 125 ping, what is the problem here ? is it maybe because I am in Ukraine and FCV server located in the US ?

Another thing,whenever a round ends it takes 10 minutes for me to join another round by that time all the squads are full and I am stuck with NOBS. I have Bitdefender antivirus and I always turn off the firewall, I have downloaded Razer game booster as well.

FCV (LA) is based in Los Angeles , California.
That is very far away from you.

FCV (NY) is around New York City, which should be a better option.

So I believe this explains the high ping. Any suggestions about about the problem with moving from round to another?

[LITOralis.nMd]

disabling the HIPS/Firewall in Bitdefender , specifically turning OFF HIPS.

Bitdefender HIPS is analyzing each and every compressed BF2 and PR file before loading it, one at a time, and these files are very large.

[Straight_Ace]

Ok will do, and let you know with the outcome.

[Straight_Ace]

Could please tell me what do you mean by HIPS. I can't find anything under this function in my antivirus.

[LITOralis.nMd]

It's actually called Active Virus Control by the Bitdefender company:

Turning on or off Active Virus Control
To turn on or off Active Virus Control, follow these steps:
Open the Bitdefender window.
Click the Settings button on the upper toolbar.
Click Antivirus on the left-side menu and then the Shield tab.
Click the switch to turn on or off Active Virus Control.
