Consistently high ping despite of game mode

I've been having high ping ( 80 plus) since October for no apparent reason since my connection remains just as good as before according to speedtest and I've experienced no issues outside of DBD. I used to have 65 to 70 ping.

Anyone else?

    Happened to me too recently. Everyone seems to have lower ping than me in my lobbies. Maybe because I live in third world shiethole with no servers close enough. I am not really playing other games atm so I dunno if it is dbd exclusive.

    It does suck tho and messes me up at times.

    I've seen a couple threads on steam discussions today having the same issue, some poor guy has 200+ ping the last 6 days, another one close to 100. I do believe it's their servers, others complain that they have 50 ping when they had 30 or less.

    I've also seen Ayrun's twitter post about having high ping despite what gamemode he plays on recently. But we never see anyone at BHVR addressing this issue which is far more important than minor bugs or adding more skinds.

    Me too, I was happy at 65 - 70 ping, now I'd be happy if I had consistent 80 ping. I feel like the game is working against me since I mostly play survivor. It's an entirely different game at 65, can't imagine how good 50 ping would be.
