There’s more and more people complaining about not being able to log in to the game when they have a normally working internet connection. Personally BDO has some weird routing issues, I have a normal 20-30 ping but when logging in or changing character it takes forever to load. This is how I fixed it, also really cheaply I’d say, as low as 0.88$ a month. All you need is a bit of common sense.
First open Mudfish’s Website. http://mudfish.net
Sign up and then download and install the client.
Once installed, click on the Mudfish logo in your taskbar.
You can now ‘equip’ BDO as an ‘item’ that you play. Simpler terms is you add BDO to your list of game in the Mudfish list of games.
Find Black Desert in Equip Items tab. Ignore the price tag for now.
Next you have to pick a Node. The ones with low RTT Std is the best, in this pic it’s LeaseWeb. Personally I’ve had little problems with OneProvider. Equip a node of your choice. Every area is different and my best settings might differ from yours. A good node is one with 0.XX RTT Std (e.g 0.50), but if you find a node that is stable then that’s fine, no need to switch.
After all that good stuffs you have around $0.30 of free credits which you can try to play BDO with for around 3-4 hours. Now just open up the game and play around, see if it fixes your log in problems, and general desyncs in bosses and pvp, long character load time and all that game breaking annoyances.
Come back later after trying Mudfish out, and it fixes all your problems.

So, you’re back? You are liking Mudfish because it fixes the desyncs during Karanda, and you get almost instant character switching and no more log in problems? Hell yeah, good for you. There is some more tweaks to do.
You may or may have not have noticed you are using pay by the traffic system. Which is basically quota based. That’s cheap of course compared to WTFast and the rest, but you can go cheaper, a flat 0.88$ monthly subscription.
You can do that by going to Setup → Account → Edit Profile. And then changing Data Plan from Pay Per Traffic to Subscription.
Of course before subscribing, you need to top up first. I personally do this by installing mudfish on my phone and then buying credits using my phone credits via the Google Play Store, because I don’t have Paypal. I think the lowest option is $3, which you can use for a staggering 3 months!
After you top up, you can just reequip BDO and pay the upfront fee of $0.88 and you’re done. You have access to Mudfish for the whole month, and hopefully less network issues in BDO.

Here is also more tweaks that works well for me. THIS IS ENTIRELY OPTIONAL.
You can open these settings from Setup → Program.
I changed the protocol settings from UDP to TCP on all of them, and I turned on FastConnect Mode. I’m not gonna go into detail why, but BDO is kind of strange where even my windows taskbar shows it’s using TCP instead of UDP (Games usually use UDP Protocol). Doing this made me have less desyncs in general, and I don’t experience anything negative from doing so. FastConnect mode did seemingly nothing, but the manual says it’s great for games that uses TCP protocol so I just turned it on.
