    @Sectorax Ah the netcode topic rears it's ugly head again.

    So Respawn has done us no favors with their netcode which is by todays standards 10+ years behind the current top games.

    One thing to consider aside from that is how your ISP routes you to the game servers. It is definitely a combination of both that causes this issue. I suffer the same thing and while I have worked with my ISP to get to some sort of resolution we need Respawn to optimize their netcode. Which is something have done very little of since launch.

@Sectorax I feel those numbers represent your current ping in lobby while not being thrown into a game vs what you actually get while in game.

I know my ping is around 20-30 when I view datacenter info but in game I get about a solid 30-40 ping.

    If i pick a server 35 - 45 ping i should be atleast getting around with in that range with a tolerance +10 or -10 . But the while playing i get like 135 or 255 ping which is 10 to 20 time higher than the expected ping. I feel something is going wrong in-between .Also while playing the game feels really hard when under combat like my shots aren't registering or dying behind a cover .
