Oh how we “love” dedicated servers

I’m sorry but I had the worst game in a while with dedicated servers. I messaged the killer and even he said he saw how bad it was, so it wasn’t just latency. This NEEDS to be fixed because it is downright unplayable. Even my friend somehow got hit through barrels. Here’s the fabulous picture of the horrible server:

    It has to be latency dude,i know cause i remember playing in ping like 200 once with the servers and when i hit people through windows they'd appear miles away from where i hit em.

    I know it’s latency. I just can’t understand how the latency is THIS bad. Other games don’t even come close to this bad and while I understand they’re very different games, this is downright unacceptable. The devs need to at least improve the servers so the latency won’t be this horrid, especially when even the killer saw how bad the latency was at times (I messaged him after the game).

    Here’s some more icing on the cake from my friend in the same game:

    Sorry for the poor quality, but hopefully you can see just how bad this is

    even 150 ping makes it unbearable. You'd think with dedi servers if the killers have bad ping it wouldn't affect survs. Guess not lmao

    I'm on console and the only way I've ever been able to get into a lobby as the killer was with the dedicated servers. Since they've been down for maintenance the killer lobby crashes for me every time.

    I just had a game as doc. i was chasing a p3 quinton and downed him before he made the window.i hear footsteps running up so i back up to see who is coming for save. lo and behold it's the quinton running past me and vaults the window and goes down on the other side. took about 5 seconds. freaked me out but kept playing this horribly laggy game. in chat after i was accused of lag switching lol. didn't even think that was possible on dedicated servers. the whole round was laggy but that was the worst I've ever seen. survivors were teleporting everywhere all game.
