Ping spiking to 174
Anyone has problem with ping spiking to 174, or 120 constantly? It started since Covid! No issue with my connection! I hit enemy 8 times and he still lives, or I start shooting first hit enemy like 4...

Scum EA LOL! Does this also cause fps drops? As every time when there is a server message game freezes for a second/two LOL! Also frequently freezes. It is on NVME and I tried verify files, reinstall origin and punkbuster didn't help! No overheating, thermal throttling, or any issues of sorts in other games currently... What a joke company, well BF is dead... Hope they save every cent so they can choke on it...
Yes @MilitiaGrunI ,
Its essentially because the server cannot keep up with serving all the connected players between each server tick.
E.g. most servers for console runs at 30Hz. So 30 updates per second. And between each update, the server needs to read the placement and change for each soldier in the game and each bullet fired in the game and its trajectory, etc. And then communicate this out again to each player connected in the game. But if some players now are connected with very high latency rates, then that becomes obviously physical impossible to achieve for the server. So it delays the communication out, as its still waiting to get confirmation from some of the other players.
And when that happens the server starts freezing/rubberbanding.
So yes, the transmitted number of updated framerates drops to the floor.
