Since the event came, my average ping has been 80-90 and it jumps to 120-130 sometimes. Idk if somethings wrong with my ethernet but I've also noticed other players having high ping... Anyone have a fix or some knowledge of this?

    My ping's been through the roof randomly since Doomed Course.

    Its purely a server / ISP Issue. I track the IP with PingPlotter.

    On EU-Central for example (for me) i routed through 18 hops.

    And the 17 i have always a huge spike randomly from 21ms to 330ms

    When i track to the US-Servers i have a smooth Line without any Spikes.

    But that can be completly different for everyone. It depends which routing your ISP choose.

    Same for me but it's been this way for almost 2 months now, I used to have 65 - 70 ping and now it's 80 - 85. In the event of course it's 100 to 130. My internet speed on speedtest is exactly the same, I suspect what's causing it is what I've seen people talking about, BHVR started using cheaper, worse servers.

    I play with 90-120 ms every game, including DBD in the past. Now, I'm playing DBD with +170! I don't know what is happening. It's horrible.

    20 higher ping than normal for me since October, now I play at 80 - 85, but hey at least we get new skins we'll never use.
