"High ping only in Creative 2.0 / UEFN, normal in BR and Creative 1.0"

Summary

“My ping is 20-30 ms in Battle Royale and Creative 1.0, but jumps to 60 ms in every Creative 2.0 map, including private islands. Traceroute to ping-eu.ds.on.epicgames.com shows traffic routed via New York and London instead of Frankfurt. My ISP confirmed their routing is fine. This only affects Creative 2.0.”
