What's the deal with the servers?

[Alcina]

The network numbers always show as good, but the servers are obviously having regular problems. I'll ask in game and other people will respond and say they are also having problems. This happens fairly frequently. It's usually not too bad, mostly just poor reaction time, like a bad ping, or stutters. Once in awhile it'll be so bad there will be obvious rubberbanding, and still, the game keeps claiming everything is fine. Good ping, no packet loss.

And most annoyingly, it feels like its happening more often recently.

Unreal 5 is not a game engine.

ue5 is stuttery in and of itself, then add on any other possible jankiness and you get this rubber band festival

Id love to know what settings you guys have your games on. Over 400 hours and I think iv had 1 hard crash the whole time, and I don't think iv had a single disconnect.

Are you guys running your graphics settings on ultra or something? Just a theory I have that people who have everything maxed out are the ones crashing constantly.
When I first started playing at the end of Season 0 I had everything maxed out and my CPU used to get really hot and id start having stuttering issues, but when I changed settings iv had no problems.

I'm not talking about game performance issues. When servers are good, it plays fine.

The problem I'm referring to is the server latency issues it regularly suffers from.

i agree..
there is a issue.. since s2
my ping 38/framerate 90/no packet los.. and the server lags, when ult's are used
portal/2 invisable girls walls...and lag

yes, there was a lag in s1 when a portal was used..but now its worse

It is noticeable playing Hawkeye. Best server gives me 40-50 ping usually, all green stats, yet sometimes his headshot kills are very delayed.

The green numbers are a scam just like everything else in the game.
