Increased ping

Hi! I am from Ukraine, and I generally mostly play on Polish servers. For years—specifically over the last 3–4—my ping was mostly around 30, and very rarely any higher. This was the case in FS 26 as well. However, in FS 27—which I have been playing for a few months now—my ping increased to 45, and it stayed that way for nearly two months. But today, it has gone up to 60–65, turning orange. Could you please explain why this is happening? A Speedtest check shows stable results, just as before.

    So, just now I played a match against someone who was almost certainly Polish—he was using the emblem of a Polish club—and my ping was 75–78. What is going on? Please fix this as soon as possible. I have a 1-gigabit fiber-optic connection, and having a gaming experience like this is unacceptable. 

    For comparison, in CS2 my ping is mostly 25–35, sometimes a bit higher.

    I’ve just finished playing Division Rivals; my ping was 21–25 ms until 00:20, and after 00:20 it went up to 38–54. I checked my ping to 8.8.8.8 and got the same reading, ranging from 38 to 54. I don’t know why I’m being routed to all the EA servers again (Germany, France, Ireland), but not Poland. It’s simply unbelievable that a game billed as competitive creates such unequal conditions for players.

    I cannot understand why a company like EA cannot allocate funds – not to promotional videos, but to server hardware – rather than renting from Google? Ninety per cent of the game’s problems would disappear once players started to enjoy a level playing field and stable gameplay. Honestly, I’d rather play Division Rivals against a bot with a ping of 10–20 than against a player from Germany who has a ping of 5–10 whilst mine is 38, especially as that same player from Germany will suffer from lag because EA wants to create a level playing field for us.

    So, just now I played against a Polish player (I added him, so I know for sure he’s from Poland), and my ping was 80! Before that, I played against a player from Tunisia (I added him as well and asked him about it)—my ping was 70, while his was 14! What is going on? It seems as though someone on the server side—or somewhere else on your end—made a mistake in the routing configuration, or is intentionally sabotaging connection quality for players from Ukraine. Please resolve this as soon as possible!

    UPD: player from Tunisia was from Germany in fact.
