Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Are the servers really rubberbanding/stuttering randomly for anyone else on 40ishms or less

As the title says I've been having awful rubberbands, sometimes I get pulled back or I'm desynced atm, its especially noticeable when you try to do an action like hit a survivor, vault a window (on survivor too), try to throw down a pallet etc.

Maybe it's just an EU server thing, but they feel like doo doo rn.

    It's been happening to me over here in America. My ping isn't great, but it should not be this bad, I should not be rubberbanding and teleporting.

    I've noticed it a lot too, and it feels familiar. The same thing happened in another Multiplayer game for me a few years back, and everyone was complaining. Turned out that since the game was going to be receiving a Massive update that was hyped up hard, they expected to bring in a lot of new players, so They also decided to add more servers to accommodate. In order to do this though They had to shut some of the existing servers down so they could put in the new ones and get them all synced up. After a few weeks, Things started running buttery smooth again since they had finished the job just in time for the big update.

    This is only speculation, but with the FnF "Paragraph" just around the corner, all the hype surrounding it, and knowing how popular that franchise is, I wouldn't put it past BHVR to be doing the same right now so that the Launch goes smoothly for the potential mass influx of new players.

    Of course, it could also be a big net-coding glitch introduced last patch as well, or even perhaps many of the new players have already bought the game and are playing right now to get themselves ready for it, which would be straining the servers if it's more than they were ready for… you never quite know with this company, at least not until they make a statement.

    It's been happening a lot to me, nothing too terrible as I can still play, but it's a bit annoying.

    Also, some streamers have been getting actively targeted by cheaters, getting such crazy rubberbands that the game becomes unplayable. Have seen some clips and it's insane. And apparently they got some sort of confirmation that they were being targeted.
