Anyone else getting connection problems but only when doing an action?

Currently losing my sanity over what feels like a cheat.


Just had a game where any time I'd do any action that could damage the survivor team, suddenly my connection just dies. Swung at a survivor who greeded the pallet and I'm sure to get the hit? Nope, apparently I stopped moving when I swung, or I never swung at all. Picking up a survivor? You're gonna sit right there while a survivor gets into position in front of you (luckily I was using lightborn for that one). Hooking? 20s of staring at this hook in my face wondering if I really should hook the survivor.

I know, people are gonna say "Oh you're internet is bad" yada yada, but my connection was otherwise pristine. Specifically, only, when my action would damage a survivor or otherwise hinder them would any sort of lag suddenly hit me. Even the indicator would only appear during these incidents.

The worst part is at the end of this, when I killed who I think the cheater was, game just DCs me the moment I reach the hook. Not even any lag or anything, just "Server unavailable."

Am I the only one experiencing this? What the ######### is going on?

    YES, I'm getting this in both roles. I'm not getting the high ping indicator, rather I'm getting the packet loss indicator in yellow, then it turns red, then goes away. It's very annoying. For me, it's usually happening in chases both as Killer and Survivor
