Packet Loss in ranked (PS5)

I’ve seen a lot of people posting the same thing without a fix for a while now. And want to put my own personal experience and solution on here. I've experienced consistent packet loss on OCE ranked servers for a few seasons. The issue occurs almost every match, and has significantly impacted my ability to enjoy the game and made it much harder to climb to Masters. To continue climbing, I've often had to play on US servers, which removes the packet loss but comes with the obvious downside of much higher ping.


For anyone experiencing the same issue, the solution I found was using a VPN. After using one tonight, I found that the packet loss has disappeared, which suggests there may be a routing issue somewhere between players and the OCE servers that the devs need to fix.

That said, I want to be clear that a VPN should not be considered an acceptable long-term solution as it costs money, can introduce their own issues that I’m not aware of, and shouldn't be required for players to have a stable connection. I just hope this information helps identify the cause of the issue and leads to a proper fix.
