@Leyabean23 I have finally resolved my lag issue. On my PS4 I was using the CloudFlare DNS and it worked great no issues so I used it on my PS5. But last night I thought let me change the DNS just to see what happens so I changed it to SafeDNS and Lag has gone. Slightly slower then CloudFlare but seems to be working. So all in all I have fixed my wall socket, changed all my ethernet cables and changed my DNS and now I'm lag free. Hopefully I stay lag free ☺️.

    @Leyabean23 I was able to partially reduce the latency of the image .I remembered that the other day I turned off the "game mode" of the TV, returned it and everything became faster. DNS server 8.8.8.8 additional 8.8.4.4. Try it, maybe it will help someone

    I've been having a lag spike issue on my PS5 as well. The only thing is that the stats are not showing that I am losing packets or really lagging. Running solid 60FPS and a Latency of 40ms-70ms. Sometime my latency jumps up to 100 but that doesn't usually happen. I have opened all the ports on my router to better accommodate the PS5, bought a new router, and had my ISP change all the lines in my home.

    The "lag" that happens to me is quite weird. I am running at normal speed and then my character gets, what looks like a speed boost, glitch and puts me 10 steps ahead of where I normally was. Even when I'm picking up items, I'll press square, and then my character sides steps over 2 steps and I picked nothing up.

    So, for me, it's just super glitchy that happens constantly. I would go back to my PS4 pro, but I sold it already.

    Is this what's happening to everybody?

    Thanks!

    got a wifi 6 router with 20ms ping and everyone is rubber banding everywhere. This has been constantly happening to me since I got my ps5 and my friend has the same issue over wifi on the series S. Something is up with wifi and the new consoles for Apex.
