Terrible network behavior after S5 rollout
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 li...

@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.
@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
Im armed with PingPlotter and continue my investigation.
Today I got back to my PC and my ping seems fine, 66 average, ~3ms jitter.
I have foundd old Atic's post about bf2042 using AWS infrastructure to host servers, however I couldnt find correct IP to ping.
With some social engineering I found EU Frankfurt server address is https://dynamodb.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/
I did PingPlotter magic and it shows pretty good timings until I hit "mx01.Stockholm.gldn.net" which is obviosly a Sweden host. Right now when my ping is fine it shows 47 ping to that host and 0 packet loss. Once my ping goes high and I feel lags/rubberbanding I see pack loss grows up to 80% (while game debug shows theres no packet loss at all)
Right now my network is consistent, I don't know if my ISP changed something (we had long conversation about how BF2042 is important for me).

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.
