Constant high ping spikes after last wave of DDOS attacks

As the title says. The game is pretty much unplayable for me these days. Base ping during a match is around 45 and often dips into yellow territory with spikes around 100-150, causing severe stutters and rubberbanding. Before the last wave of DDOS attacks, base ping was aorund 30-40 with occasional spikes around 70-100 ms, which wasn't great to begin with, but at least playable. Now it's happening all the time and the game just feels out of sync. Apart from that, I get disconnected from matchmaking half of the time. I'm connected to Frankfurt data centers via gigabit connection (no wifi), with pings between 17-24 in the main menu, but as soon as i'm in a match, I rarely see numbers below 40.

Whatever the reason was for the DDOS attacks to end, wether the hackers lost interest for now or Respawn having fixed something, it's still not working properly.

  • @DeadEcho82 Not sure which platform you're playing on, but I've noticed the same thing playing on PS4. While my initial reaction when the 2500 pings dropped to near normal and multiplayer was accessible was pure joy, it is a nuisance that you get dropped from the multiplayer lobby every so often and that these minor ping spikes keep sogging up matches. Worst yet was last night where I got killed in a sketchy way by a Tone and when I saw the kill cam I was apparently standing wide open and dead still in a window from that players point of view - on my end I was running, gliding and wall-jumping like a seasoned maniac. Just moments earlier I had my Scorch messed up by two titans, one of which was a Northstar that just stood and stared into the sky long after my ejection and it didn't even flinch when I threw a Firestar at it and sank it with the anti-titan grenade launcher. Pretty sure that player had the same kind of wtf moment at that point.
