Does PingAim work with Conqueror's Blade?
Yes. PingAim uses a kernel-level WFP (Windows Filtering Platform) driver to route network traffic — it does not inject code into the game process or modify game memory, so it does not conflict with Mail.ru Anti-Cheat (MRAC). PingAim routes proven_ground_client.exe through your chosen network interface (5G tethering, Ethernet, or any second connection). If you only have one internet connection, PingAim cannot help — it needs two paths to choose between.
Why is my Conqueror's Blade ping so high?
The most common causes are: playing on a server in a different region than your physical location, WiFi jitter (switch to Ethernet), ISP routing inefficiencies, or background apps consuming bandwidth. Enabling IPv6 on your router has helped many players dramatically — community reports show drops from 130ms to under 30ms in some cases. If your ping is consistently high only in Conqueror's Blade but not in other games, the issue is likely your ISP's path to the specific datacenter.
Where are the Conqueror's Blade servers located?
Conqueror's Blade runs dedicated servers in four main regions: Americas (Virginia and California data centers), Europe (Amsterdam), Southeast Asia (Singapore), and Asia (Hong Kong). As of June 2024, the Americas region was consolidated into a single server called Elysium Peak. The EU region has Crystal Sea, Sicania, and a newbie server (Aegis Dawn). Server selection happens at login — you can manually choose your region.
Does Conqueror's Blade use anti-cheat?
Yes — Conqueror's Blade uses Mail.ru Anti-Cheat (MRAC), which includes a kernel-mode driver (mracdrv.sys) and a persistent background service (mracsvc.exe) that continues running after you close the game. Some players have raised privacy concerns about the Mail.ru components. VPNs and network optimizers are not banned by the anti-cheat.
What is the main process name for Conqueror's Blade?
The main game process is proven_ground_client.exe, located in the game's installation directory under game\x64\Ship\client\. The launcher is ConquerorsBladeSTEMLoader.exe. When setting up firewall rules or configuring network tools like PingAim, use proven_ground_client.exe as the target process.
Is Conqueror's Blade P2P or dedicated servers?
Conqueror's Blade uses dedicated servers — all game state including battle outcomes, positions, and damage is processed server-side. There is no peer-to-peer fallback. This means your ping to the server datacenter is what matters, not your connection to other players.
