    Yea, I get this- when it's good my character flows like water, other times it's like I'm moving through tar. High ping servers most likely.

    There is an unofficial word-of-mouth suggestion that after half dozen rounds you need to reboot, as the game grinds slower for some reason. A few of my clan will reboot a few times on extended play days.

@Smitty412-303 I get exactly what you’re saying, and I’ve found it doesn’t seem related to ping. I think it’s related to network compensation and the game trying to “balance” between players with higher ping or are likely using a VPN. I’ve played in low pop servers and can actually feel the change. The player names are often obviously from out of my region (west coast NA), and I’m concluding it’s a VPN issue. I don’t think 2042 can figure out how to compensate for it, and it results in the entire game slowing down. You’re definitely not alone in this issue mate!

Why would people use a vpn for this game? Makes no sense ?  Trying to hide ip address for what?

    @Smitty412-303 Potentially some are hiding their IP, but it's also likely that many want to connect to different regions where there are more players.
