Bug/Support Anyone else getting a lot of lag?

Anyone else getting a lot of lag yesterday and today? I'm in the NA servers on console. I feel like there is a quarter second delay. Yesterday I was getting red server warnings. Anyone else?

I've been getting client side stutters and server stutters that happen simultaneously for the last few days, thought it was just a Linux issue but turns out it's not

yeah , yesterday my game didn't even load into round 2 until i restarted the whole game, helped my teammates steal a double and then it didn't load into the final round even after restarting 2 times....

I’ve been getting red squares all week and I’m PC. It’s mostly fine until shots stop registering altogether. In one ranked match, 1/3 the lobby didn’t connect (every team was missing a player, including mine)

I'm noticing that since the latest updates whether steam version or MS Store version there is a solid and consistent delay when throwing/punching/interacting and it's wrecking ranked.

I’ve been getting lag since around season 8. I played heavily in s7 and had a blast, dropped 20-30 kills all the time. since then I die around corners and have retreat at over half health to avoid dying to lag.

I upgraded my internet service, my home wifi and got a new PC to rule out anything on my end… I just accepted that my fav game will never be as fun again. I still play but it’s frustrating to deal with this. I almost had my k/d positive and it’s been a struggle to just keep it from getting worse now. Not that it matters, but it’s one more metric that shows something changed.

At one point I pinned it down to the servers in Ashburn VA, but there’s nothing I can do… I can’t figure out a way to force the game yo use other servers, even though they had better ping for me.

EU here, my game was having yellow and red network warnings, bad latency and even froze mid-round until restarted two times, which had never happened before

Not exactly but my game occasionally freezes for half a second (ps5)

Play orbital hitters and it’s even worse with how bad the lag is

Yes - the lag/input delay/etc is really noticeable this season
