High Ping when playing as Killer

Good day.


I always have a high ping on my PS5, when playing as Killer, but no issue whatsoever on survivor side. I mean, i know, killers are the Host so this coluld be the issue, that my internet is not strong enough to host, but is this really the only issue here? Or are there other measures? I tried to find something online but all are only talking about connection losses and thats not really happening to me.

    Since this looks like a way-out-of-norm issue, I highly recommend using Technical Issues subforum as well.

    Choosing a specific side shouldn't have an impact on server connection for obvious reasons, and if it actually happens, it means that something goes incredibly wrong. Certain killer powers can cause stuttering (mostly related to RAM performance) on your end, but it doesn't explain the 500+ ping you get.

    Killers are not hosting matches for the last several years, bhvr acquired its own external servers; so it's definetely not the issue here.

    I don't see how rooting can be readjusted depending on the role you play, so yourproblem seems extremely weird to me. Are you sure it's your ping that gets higher, and not just increased stuttering / laggs on your side due to some other reasons?

    I tried a game with Croxxplattform off, and it worked for one game, on the second game i got a high ping again. (In every case the Ping is red and like over 600), but the moment i start playing survivor i dont have any problems at all, no lags and no stuttering.


    But lag and stuttering is the problem i face as killer. When i move i constantly get ported back or to locations i didnt even went to, and survivors keep running in line but disappear after a short while or when beeing hit.
