this issue is very similar to this: > [@high ping with delay in maps which involves more players and also in Ranked](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/high-ping-with-delay-in-maps-which-involves-more-players-and-also-in-ranked/1841347): > > Please select what you are reporting on: Creative What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Other Summary Hi,there is lag in early game in “Tournaments” and “Ranked” Battle Royale (its is perfectly fine in Unranked BR) this problem only happens to players with 50-60 ping, A lot of people who play 50+ ping face the same issue. it feels really laggy to edit/build as if im playing on 100 ping instead of 50, as people die in game the delay gets better by the time theres 10-20 alive it gets normal 5… if maybe you can make the servers back they were in Fortnite OG ,it would fix everything ! ---

Every map, including BR has had a core issue with gameplay stutter/rubberbanding, it ties back to when the new locomotion was introduced. I’m not saying that is what caused this issue but it absolutely exaggerated it. I have a feeling it’s a server-side issue and not map-specific or platform specific. ---

Late to the party but is this still an issue? I assume so because there hasn’t been a response from flak in this forum saying so. Our larger scale maps have some stuttering and lag issues and I assume it derives from this [Previous page](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/critical-high-ping-and-lag-with-maps-that-have-larger-areas-to-play-in/1797887.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/critical-high-ping-and-lag-with-maps-that-have-larger-areas-to-play-in/1797887.md?page=4)
