S3 Performance - General survey.
>S3 launch was mostly fine - with the usual amount of desync. Nothing unbearable, 1 out 5 engagements was frustrating since it had clearly netcode-related issues. So a few occurrences per match, nothing unexpected. For the past 3 days, whether it be with cross-play on or off (EU) - EVERY engagement is way off, and even though I play on a respectable 23-28 ms ping (zero packet loss or any alarm bell) it feels like I am playing on a garbage set up from the 2010s. Every death is one frame, sometimes multiple seconds after I reached solid cover. I mean every engagement. My net graph shows rejected hits every single gunfight (excluding the final bullet which hits but naturally counts as rejected if the other guy is already dead). Nothing changed on my end, I double checked everything, from my Ethernet cable to DNS, from clearing the cache to reinstalling the game. It feels like the server is exhausted after a long day at work and just randomly assigns life and death. Even during the peak of the out-of-region invasion in S2 ,my experience wasn't like this. Combine this with the disgusting performance, stuttering and frame drops, I've come close to punching my monitor multiple times. Has anyone experienced something similar all of a sudden ? I've seen some complaints on general performance but I wonder if there could be a PS5-specific issue (my console or PS5 in general) since I played today on a friends' PC and everything felt normal - or rather, it was the same trash as before rather than the absolute nightmare above-mentioned.
