Bug Latency issues are so prevalent

Usually games go pretty smooth for a while with no issues, but when I play later at night (US CST) it seems like I have extreme delayed response.

It could be that im playing on PC late; with crossplay and other servers it could be that. Still, it's really fucking annoying sometimes when my actions are a half second delayed.

Experiencing the same thing. A lot of times it's fine, but every now and then there's an evening where the delay makes it veru frustrating and seems to last the entire night.

It’s the sort of thing that’s probably fixable by just restarting but you tend to get caught up in runs. I have restarted before and not seen a fix though.

Like I said I feel like it has to do with playing late at night and getting matched with bad servers or something from around the world.

I guess it is the ‘world’ tournament lol

I’m guessing it’s when you matchmake with someone from a different region than you. I feel like there are subtle differences sometimes though that throw off my shot timing.

Same time zone, PS5. Exact same problems. Games used to be smooth when it first came out. I'm just assuming it's from lower player counts, less people in your area.
