Since around start of october my players are experiencing noticable higher ping. This happened without updating our maps, rather it happened after a patch by epic. It happens to all our UEFN maps.

Steps to Reproduce

I’m based in the UK and have a 1gb/s connection and my standard is 15-27 ping on any map on my local country servers.

I don’t think its possible to have 0 ping unless you are next door to Epics server tbh but that’s jmo

Something people also forget is if you play with a friend who lives in Denmark for instance and you live in UK and join them then your on a different server and ping does go up and its nothing to do with the game so this also can impact ping

Vodaphone or O2 Mobile

Made me laugh
