White/Red Arrow
Every single game of mine recently has displayed a white/red arrow in the top left corner of my screen. I have read that it has to do with internet lag, but my internet is well and working. I'm playing on PS5 and am wondering if there is a remedy for my situation. I've restarted my console, internet, game, switched between my 5G and 2G internet, but nothing seems to work. I've had this issue in the past, but never to the extent of late. Is anyone else having this issue? Is it the game servers and not me? I'm confused. Any advice/recommendations?

This indicator does infact mean you are having going issues (White being 100-200 ms and red being 200 ms + iirc). Is your game lagging? Or is it just appearing for no reason while your game runs smoothly?

Just be thankful you have a PS5. It'd be hard for me to complain about internet if i had a PS5.

Thanks for the response. It has been affecting gameplay, but not horribly. There is noticeable lag. It's intermittent, but not constant. The arrows seem to join me most of my matches. I just don't understand, because I run a test on my console and the wifi is good. That's why I ask if it's out of my control?

If it's ok with you, may I ask where you live? It may not be your wifi but rather you can't get a good connection to a server as you don't live near one.

It's your connection to the server, that could be down to location or even packet loss as you said you were on wifi - I'd suggest trying with an ethernet connection as that's a lot more stable than wifi.
