London Server Lag and Rubberbanding

I get it, you load into a Killer match wanting your sweat fest 4K.

But you load in and there is 300+ ping for everybody. You can’t properly move and the game is practically unplayable.

Do we change tactics and decide to use the match instead to get some points all around? Maybe farm a bit, and all say GG and move on to the next since everybody in the match is affected?

Nah, let’s slug everybody and let them bleed out after ages.

I get we all want to play, but can we have some common courtesy that if we load into a game that is being affected by the bad London server issue right now that we try to be descent human beings? Is that too much to ask? I don’t even care if you hook me so I can move on.

    LOL I had some games like that yesterday.

    Crazily I couldn't even unhook as the unhook bar didnt fill at all. I ended up getting stuck at the hook for a minute too.

    Maybe some killers couldnt even hook due to the lag. Or maybe they just enjoy bleeding people to death, the community is pretty toxic atm I have to agree. I know how you feel.

    Yeah I'm from the UK and had a couple of games yesterday where I just kept rubberbanding constantly. In one of them all the survivors said they had the same.

    No, they actually hooked one person at the end after 3 had bled out. I spectated to see if they left them but no, picked up and hooked last second then continued to hit on hook.

    Its just ridiculous. I’m getting the lag/rubberbanding about 1 game in 3 or 4. I don’t want the killer to have to DC, because penalties are still in place. I’m not even saying they have to sit around while all the gens are done. Hook, move on if you want. We all ran to them thinking this is what they would just do, but no. SMH

    Toxicity is rife.

    Happened to me when playing Billy earlier (I'm UK based). Survivors from Czech Republic were affected.

    I played survivor and 3 other survivors + killer were affected (Killer DCed).

    Also use British servers and have the same lag/rubber and issues. Only on killer for the most part though

    Funny that my above experience was a Ghost Face, and they also tbagged our bodies as we were bleeding out. Maybe it was the same killer. 😏

    Does anybody know how the London server is today? Want to jump in a bit and would love to hear that it’s better today? 🤞🏼

    Played four games today. First was fine, next three a complete and utter mess. Completely unplayable.

    Judging by UK based streamers the servers are still utterly broken.

    And it's not just uk servers. like... wth
