Server lags?!
Does anyone else have this atm. Region Europe, when i try to play killer lags are really big but only from time to time not constantly in the game(like perfectly fine and in random time i get top left notification for ping). It was heavy in every killer game. Then i switched to surv and there were less lags but other killers had same heavy lags like in chase getting blinked 10m back...

Sounds like it could be a VPN killer. Had a Scratched Mirror Myers doing it for me in my last match. Checked the pause menu, 2 other survivors were having 500+ Ping, but me and the othe guy were at 60. It also somehow bugged my Skill Checks completely and nothing would appear on screen. I really hope BHVR sorts this crap out. It's getting super annoying to play against killers like this, and the damn bugs don't help matters

How can be vpn killer when i said i had same problem as playing a killer. In chase to get survs i would get blinked 10m back or simply walking a map i would be blinked 10m back. Then when i switched to surv lags was not that much frequently for me but almost every killer lost match or simply couldn't hit for blinking back 10m away at random... Some survs are blinking back 10m back at random too.

Are you sure it’s not your connection? Have you checked it to make sure nothing is dropping on your end?
Also worth checking - sometimes when connecting to lobbies I get put into a weird server far from me with like 150 ping, so always check the ping indicator at the bottom right. You can just back out and try again if it’s bad.
Other than that, I play in Europe and can’t say I’ve noticed anything personally.

Yes i did. I even asked killers from my lobies did they had lags and they said yes, like freezing or blinks that i expirianced insanly as killer and less as surv. If i have problems cz of servers others should be fine. Right?

thats... not how this works.
Killer can use his VPN / Lag Switch to get unfair hits, due to the large latency and different positions on the survivor screen and killer screen. But it does not have any impact on skillchecks etc, bc this is only between the surv client and server. If the ping is bad for all survivors, its most likely that the server has some issues rather than the killer. The killers connection does not have any impact on the ping from survivor to the server.
Potentially the killer could have used smth to increase the server response time, but again this would mean that every survivor experiences roughly the same amount of lag + their own latency.

And the thing is it is totaly random like some games perfect and others killer can't even hit a tree cz of lags while i don't have problem at all. Some time we all have problems and it is happening in ever second or third game as surv and as killer it is every game don't know why...
