This entire week I’ve been getting 24+ ping when i usually play on 9 please fix it the difference between 9 and 20 is VERY noticeable. i know it’s not my internet provider because in any other game it tells me 9 ping
Same issue, I have been trying to find a solution but nothing, I have been trying to contact EA and absolutely nothing.
same here since early february. i have att fiber 1k up and 1k down.
yes same here been like 3 weeks now
Hey guys, I think I found a solution. This worked for me. I have been dealing with the same issue for about 4 weeks, my ping jumped from 8ms to 30-40ms, and was stuck at 30-40ms
I am playing on PS5 for context. I have always used Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), but tonight I switched to OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220) and I'm back to 8ms ping.
You can do this on your console/computer, or modify your router settings. It seems that you don't need to keep the changes either, simply switching DNS seems to flush the cache of IP addresses. If you're playing on pc, you may need to use flushdns from your computer terminal.
I think the root cause of this is caused by IP address rotation, which is completely normal, and having the DNS record cached. This means that your console/computer thought it knew the path to take to the Dallas servers, but that path changed, so you were taking a longer path, thus a greater ping.
In short, I updated DNS from Google (30-40ms) -> OpenDNS (8ms) -> Google (still 8ms). Give it a go, hope it works for you too.
