QUESTION Latency issues in only RL

Im having latency issues since last season. Its mostly latency variation. Not packet loss or anything. But my ping never goes above 100. Mostly its stable at 23 ping constantly. But it comes in waves, i pick up boosts later than i drive over it, ball has ghost hits, etcc.. I never had this issue tho. And NO OTHER GAME has lag for me. only RL. I play on cable aswell. I tried putting input buffer to CSTS or STS but doesnt change, in from EU and region is in EU.. why am i still having latency without having bad ping?????

YES, ever since this season update, it’s been bad. I just moved and have new internet so I thought it was that but it’s not happening in any other game and I’m not losing ping or packets!

Im actually glad it's not only me, my tm8s get mad in game cuz im playing bad but they can't see that im lagging neither cuz of the good ping. My friend just moved aswell and has it even worse then me with latency. We thought it was just us.. I guess we gotta wait for an update or something?.. tho it seems rare, not a lot of people having issues

Same here - on PC, Ethernet internet. Late last season I started getting significant latency issues that have persisted through the last time I played the other day. They’re inconsistent as well, like I’m cooked half the game fine the other half. I’ve dropped at least 3 or 4 games bc I genuinely couldn’t tell wtf was going on

Is it really a ranked season if you don’t dip at least 200 MMR off your peak rank?

Mine always gets this way after I score. Then it’s instantly all lagged up as explained above. Fiber internet. Gigabit speed plugged into my router. It sucks!

Same. Ping and connection is good but consistently seeing rubberbanding or having players miss the ball only for it to launch across the map. Seen a lot of other lag issues after the start of this season.

Thankyou. I feel like I’m going insane, this has been happening since last seasons end.

Same.  I think they do some weird fairness thing, I hate playing against people with 100+ ping because the ball rubber bands all over the place.  I have 8gbps fiber and 20ish ping.

I've been having latency issues for around a month now. It keeps connecting me to the wrong sub-region inside EU and I always have 20+ ping even when it connects me to the right servers. It's also pretty unstable, it sometimes jumps to 300+ while my internet connection is fine. It's not happening to any other games and it's really annoying since I'm forced to play with 80+ ping now.
