So, my ping doing absolutely insane things after S5 rollout. I play day before update and everything was quite good, so problem is, my ping went from regular 64-65 to 70-75, but in fact game feels like its over 150 sometimes. Regular network lag issues like:getting killed instantly (most of shots wont load and it feels like instant shot)rubberbandingdelayed system messages (e.g. kill message comes after 3-4 seconds you kill someone)shots not registering properlyetc.So far I noticed one thing to happen, when game is found and round starts my ping is usually normal 65-66. Then as game goes, it slowly incriments to 76-77. BUT ! when round is over, I hold TAB and clearly see how is descending - 77 -76 -74 -70 - 67 - 66.. This happens quite fast from round end message to endgame blackscreen.I've checked my hardware and other games just seem to work fine. Again, I repeat myself but everything was okay before S5 rolloutthanks

This is where a Server Browser comes in. If you were able to pick the server you play on, you wouldn't be MM'd into instances with bad pings.

@sgtPoulton The answer to why no server browser is money. If you have a dedicated server, you have to pay for it. From what I understand, is the servers only “exist” when there is demand for it, otherwise it’s not being rented. It’s far cheaper for EA to use that model of “on demand” servers. Too bad it’s contributing to the decline of the game.

@sgtPoulton Same. The game feels very jittery and sloppy after 5.0. Feels like I have desync. Sometimes I kill someone, and only after a second or so I get kill UI and XP.The same goes when I die.

@sgtPoulton I’ve never had issues with other games either, it’s clear to me it’s 2042 and you might be wasting your time trying to solve a server side issue.

@Adamonic I gave up waiting for it. Its been 20 months since releaase and there's nothing about server heard around. I dont understand a single reason why would they remove server browser

Terrible network behavior after S5 rollout

@sgtPoultonI’ve been watching this closely with network graphs on for about 7 months. Since the game started I have had a ping of 27 (sometimes 28). It’s been very consistent. What varies is the ALAT, my server side connection. On a good day, it’s 35, so I’m only a little bit behind. Bad days are 44, with inout lag as well. Since S5, it’s been over 50, and becomes totally unplayable. Bizarrely, on Friday night I had an ALAT of 19, which I’ve never seen and couldn’t figure out how to compensate for that. Luckily it was only once, but 19? (I’m on PC)

Im playing since day 1 and have almost 700h played and I can say that ON RELEASE game was MUCH more fun and entertaiment. Those "listen to community" things killed everything. Now its unplayable at all. 60-2 guys every round. latency like im playing from saturn. and it only degrading with every upgrade

Yesterday I was playing a round at around midnight CET time and my latency was okay. Is it possible that lower online count helps servers to deal with load? Who knows

@ATFGunrI did measuerments today
Breakthrough 64 players gave me 83 ping along with 34-37 ALAT.
Its considered to be bad ping for me (after S5 update) Im usually having 74-75 ping.
I did some research on my side and even contacted ISP - we found to problems or changes in past months,
I also has 0 packet loss and my speed is fine, so the only issue here is ping, which is, actually fine for other games and applications. I will try to do measurements this evening/night to see if this matters.

@ATFGunr Also, I was right about time. By midnight CET and beyond ping goes down to reasonable 66-67 as it was before. Probably because less people is playing by that time. Can't confirm or deny that as EA/DICE never post or reply here. Sad because there's basically no other games I play much, got along with all technical problems and bugs but have nothing to do with this.

I agree. It does feel a bit off. I just cant put my finger on it
