Always high ping ~80
Together with the awful netcode and the badly working player orientation update this makes the game almost unplayable.
Is there any way to get a better ping or is it because of the Ubisoft Servers?

I think its because of the Ubisoft servers. I'm from Norway, and I'm always on 50-60 ping (I belive I get matched with servers from the UK). Wish they had more servers spread over Europe (Scandinavia, Germany etc+) would give me a slightly better ping than the UK.

I live in Germany and chose EU West Server Region which should be the best option for me.
Which server region did you choose?

It defaults to WEU (Says 40ms on the options menu). I mainly play with Swedes, Germans, Brits and sometimes Russians (Their ping is always above 100)

At least it is too high to play competitive games online.

You think it isn't? Wow. Even 50 is noticeable.

Yeah, it's the servers. Most games I get 15-30 ping, this game I'm anywhere from 60 to 100.

40 is ok, 20-30 is fine. But trough playing a lot of games with good servers I propably got way too used to it lel

Its not about the lag it is about the bad overall network performance of the game

I belive the ping on the scoreboard is client-server-client, where as most games have client-server one. The "actual" ping should be about half of that, but if your enemies have similar connections thats the ping between you-server-enemy
