What games do you find playable on Hughesnet?

I figured we should start a thread to help track what games work with Hughesnet Gen5 service, as well as what platforms those games use.  To help others figure things out, we should try to use a form...

Using Windows 10

World of Tanks.

 

Love the game but it's just too much lag. It's the only game I play. There are NO other service in my area other than iffy celular and probably never will be. I actually get better results using my cell phone as a wired hot spot. If I try to play WOT on Huges the best I can do is hope the rest of team can carry the game because I end up being just slightly better than totally useless. Then they report me as a bot. Hughes gives me 600+ ms lag, Cell gives me 175+ ms lag which is still too much.

Sorry tim81499, they can't do anything about ping/lag on satellite as it is 22.3 thousand miles up and 22.3 thousand miles down. Games that are real time sensitive will not play well on satellite due to the delay.
