Connection freezes every 15 seconds – stable ping but constant lag (PS5)
Hi,
I’m having a very strange connection issue on PS5.
Every single match (Rivals, Champs, everything), I get a “connection unstable” warning exactly every ~15 seconds. The game freezes for about 3 seconds, then speeds up to catch up. During the freeze I can’t control my players and sometimes concede goals because of it.
The weird part is:
- My ping stays stable at 15–20 ms.
- It doesn’t spike when the freeze happens.
- It happens in every mode.
- Even PlayStation voice chat lags at the exact same moment as the freeze.
It’s not random — it’s literally every 15 seconds.
I’ve restarted my router and PS5, but the issue persists.
Has anyone experienced this or found a fix? Could this be packet loss or a server routing issue?
Thanks.
