A new issue

Has anyone recently been affected by matches where EVERYONE was lagging/rubberbanding/bad ping when few matches before that its been extremely smooth?

    Yes, every other game for me is against players with 150 ms ping while I'm also getting a high ping warning.

    There's something up with the matchmaker. I shouldn't be connecting to EU servers.

    Yep same here - servers are absolutely dog crap at the moment.

    3 perfectly fine survivor games, followed by a killer game (Pig) where every second step catapulted me back one.

    Yes! I thought it was my internet at first but realised it happened everytime a match took a really long time to load. Servers seem to be very glitchy right now

    I'm not noticing it much from survivors, but I'm getting a few whammy killers. I had a Ghost face on Cold wind the other day who was all over the place. Hits landing from metres away and at one point warped from by the gen I was on to the crashed blimp.

    There's a very dodgy server somewhere in the UK area (or EU as a whole) and it's unplayable.

    Happened a day or two ago. It would only connect me to high ping servers and some of the survivors were lagging horribly.

    So this is still going on! Looks like the game is going to be totally unplayable in half the matches played for a lot of people for well over a week if nothing is done until after New Year. What a terrible advert for the game for any new or returning players that could have picked the game up over Christmas.

    EU just seems to be suffering a horrible death atm

    Same here in UK. It seems slightly better than it was in the sense that it’s happening less frequently, but that could be coincidence or my imagination.

    Generally I think the devs get a lot of unfair criticism at times and I’m not one for joining in, but the lack of any acknowledgement of this issue after several days is quite poor. It may be Christmas break (no sure a company like this can ever completely disappear for Christmas and I don’t believe that they will have) but somebody is still tweeting so they could very easily give us an update, even if it’s just “there’s going to be no work on this issue until January.”

    Not exactly shouted from the rooftops but nevertheless I withdraw my rare criticism ☺️

    Weird. My experience hasn't been anything different. I definitely noticed some players had a near-constant red ping but I myself hardly noticed anything.

    EU-West, by the by.

    If it happens, you'll know because everyone gets hit by it.

    It seems to be an issue with the UK server, at least for what we have been observing from reports.

    Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
