Latency 180+ out of nowhere

First time ever experiencing insane latency issues, whole evening I get constant diagnostics windows with a latency over 180. I restarted PC and router maybe there was an issue there dunno, but didn't fix it.

Was also having insane FPS issues after a little while, getting only half the FPS I normally get.

Fire fights felt delayed, like I fired my bullets and took 2-3 bullets before they started registering (a lot of assists as a result). But I wasn't feeling much difference on the deads, they felt kinda usual.

Fixed, my stupid VPN was on in the background....

    I found the issue. For some reason my VPN was on in the background (new stupid feature apparantly never did this before) so I was connected via the USA and Battlefield really doesn't like that one bit.

    Also explains why the Diablo 4 pre-load was slow haha

    Malware? Called your ISP to see if any line issues.

    Type CMD in search, right click and run as administrator type "tracert google.com" without quotes and let it run, look for bad hops or high pings.

    @sk1lld Ran a full scan nothing. Few days later still the same issue. It's also messing up the game so much, AA missles cannot be flared, while flares are up I still get hit even when they are fired 1 second before. And Lis rockets miss me by a mile but still register.

    Don't think it's the ISP either, my wife on the PS5 has no issues at least the graphs are not showing (set to show on problems)

    Tracert results:
