50 million daily active usersdeltaAction goes viral
On the evening of March 18th, Tencent's *Delta Force* officially announced a major statistic: daily active users in the Chinese server have surpassed 50 million! This tactical shooter...GamesWith its hardcore gameplay, smooth experience, and rich modes, it quickly became a new favorite among FPS players in China. Whether it's the tense evacuation in the "Dangerous Operations" mode or the grand battles in the "All-Out Battlefield" mode, players can't put it down.
On domestic gaming forums and social media, players are sharing their battle reports everywhere: some are showing off their amazing comebacks, others are sharing their perfect teamwork tactics, and still others are discussing the latest weapon balance adjustments. This sense of participation and belonging is an important part of the appeal of shooting games.
International students want to return to the Chinese server, but are being delayed and discouraged from playing.
However, for international students studying abroad, this joy is somewhat diminished. A player studying in North America complained on Reddit: "I wanted to play Delta Force with my roommates from university in China, but the latency was 200+ms, and I got instantly killed as soon as we met." "I finally got matched with someone, but then I disconnected mid-game, and my teammates thought I was AFK."
Even more frustratingly, some players give up after multiple attempts: "After spending an hour setting it up, the actual gameplay time is only five minutes. Who can stand this experience?" For shooting games, a genre extremely sensitive to latency, high latency basically means it's impossible to play normally.
Why is the latency so high when playing the Chinese server from overseas?
The problem lies in physical distance and network architecture. When overseas players connect directly to domestic game servers, data packets need to cross the Pacific or Indian Ocean, resulting in a one-way latency often exceeding 150ms. Add to that international bandwidth congestion during peak hours, and packet loss and retransmission further worsen the experience. Since shooting games measure accuracy in milliseconds, this level of latency makes normal gameplay virtually impossible.
The core idea for improving this problem is to optimize the data transmission path. Game accelerators like QuickFox use intelligent routing technology to help you choose lower latency return routes, while also using data compression and packet loss retransmission mechanisms to reduce the impact of network fluctuations. Although they cannot overcome physical limitations, they can keep latency within an acceptable range.
What can you do after accelerating?
In actual use, the difference is quite obvious. Before acceleration, it was almost impossible to play against domestic players, and you were always at a disadvantage in gunfights; after acceleration, the latency dropped to a relatively stable level, at least enough to participate in battles and play with friends in China.
Good news: QuickFox is currently offering a limited-time promotion: free acceleration for Delta Force until March 31st! International students can enjoy this benefit and experience the acceleration effect without spending any money.
