Has anyone else experienced an increased rate of server lag (europe) and desync issues since this week?I mean this week particularly, it didn't feel like that like the week ago and it's really horrible because this creates a greater gap between people with different internet connections.In HvH for instance it's very noticeable when pros with the seemingly better connection in saber vs saber duels...can ouright ignore your block not only once, but multiple strikes in a row until you're dead or somehow manage to get awaycan perform abnormal long and fast dodge animations to get behind you from a distance where it shouldn't even be possible, making it near impossible to react properly (sometimes also because your dodge control is disabled for some reason before you get hit)can't be parried and instead my counter strike gets parried by a sudden second strike of themare always able to successfully use the jump exploit against me, while it doesn't work the other way round.Also more staggers, why do I get staggered so often now for seemingly no real reason? Doesn't really help in that situation either.Not to mention teleportingJut to name some examples. I know some of these things exist since ever, but since this week it feels exceptionally bad, like if they use some 3rd party macros.Funny thing is, that there have also happened other weird things like Boba being turned upside down and people in one match saying that my get up from knockdown animations seemed to be exceptionally fast. So according from the ingame chat I'm not the only one who experiences the gameplay to be weird atm.I checked my connection, also by playing other games, and I didn't notice anything odd, no stability issues or whatever.Btw what's going on with that jump exploit, why is everyone doing this all of a sudden? Really, this wasn't a thing at all just one week ago.Did some famous youtuber recommend doing it in a new video, is it a cheesy way to gain an advantage over people with the not so great connection/to exploit lag situations...?

The last week or so it’s been garbage for me, I’ve never red barred but it’s become a constant to where I just freeze and can’t move. It’s unplayable at some points. I’ve also I noticed if I party up I teleport and ping goes up, it’s like I’m playing against a team of lag switchers it’s so bad. Something definitely has changed the last few weeks, for me anyway.

A dev reply would be nice, @EA_Joz, has any additional servers been closed recently, thanks.

Now that it's obvious that it's not only my experience but an actual issue, this thread might as well be moved to the Technical Issues section.@EA_AticCan you help me here? Like does the thread need to be moved to notify the maintenance staff about the current server problems?

@FearfulWarpIIWith the jump exploit I mean than when you attack mid-air while jumping towards a blocking enemy which can sometimes bypass their block.This was buried for quite a while because it was fixed or supposed to be fixed and is risky but in a post some weeks ago here it was proven that it can still work.What's odd though is when it just always works for them.

Update: It's not getting any better or less frustrating, I think I'll take a longer break from the game at this point.

Server issues, anyone?

Has anyone else experienced an increased rate of server lag (europe) and desync issues since this week?

I mean this week particularly, it didn't feel like that like the week ago and it's really horrible because this creates a greater gap between people with different internet connections.

In HvH for instance it's very noticeable when pros with the seemingly better connection in saber vs saber duels...

can ouright ignore your block not only once, but multiple strikes in a row until you're dead or somehow manage to get away
can perform abnormal long and fast dodge animations to get behind you from a distance where it shouldn't even be possible, making it near impossible to react properly (sometimes also because your dodge control is disabled for some reason before you get hit)
can't be parried and instead my counter strike gets parried by a sudden second strike of them
are always able to successfully use the jump exploit against me, while it doesn't work the other way round.
Also more staggers, why do I get staggered so often now for seemingly no real reason? Doesn't really help in that situation either.
Not to mention teleporting

Jut to name some examples. I know some of these things exist since ever, but since this week it feels exceptionally bad, like if they use some 3rd party macros.

Funny thing is, that there have also happened other weird things like Boba being turned upside down and people in one match saying that my get up from knockdown animations seemed to be exceptionally fast. So according from the ingame chat I'm not the only one who experiences the gameplay to be weird atm.

I checked my connection, also by playing other games, and I didn't notice anything odd, no stability issues or whatever.

Btw what's going on with that jump exploit, why is everyone doing this all of a sudden? Really, this wasn't a thing at all just one week ago.

Did some famous youtuber recommend doing it in a new video, is it a cheesy way to gain an advantage over people with the not so great connection/to exploit lag situations...?

@TRlALONHuh, I’d think it’s been happening to me on PS4 too after that server maintainance. Just stops for a few seconds then returns to normal (red bars)

I’m on wired ethernet
I’m not aware of this jump exploit?

Absolutely terrible
Have been seeing heaps of people just freeze in the same game
I've froze a couple of times as well
Then just kicked me out of the ot supremacy game
Plus there isn't a problem with my internet

@ToddyRocket1 Wtf that goes even beyond of what I am experiencing.
Though the pattern, that your internet is alright as it is, is just the same.

@beerus70Yeah, the feeling as if some certain people use lag switching or 3rd party macros sums it up for me.
