‌

When playing Rivals, pre match after finding an opponent my ping looks normal (in green). Once the game starts the ping shoots up and the red ping symbol appears on the screen causing the gameplay to stutter. Game is unplayable and I am forced to forfeit matches. VERY annoying. Doing external ping tests show everything looking normal. Adjusting my graphics settings does not fix the issue.
