    i dont know is it problem in my side but ping is so unstable lately and its so hard to play with that high ping. i was playing sometthing 80-100 but now it jumps like crazy 136ms 167 and even 200 ms and it does constantly doing that and in other games i have no problems. ive played this game so long and have some special items like Fortuna Godsaw and LA auraxium armor and white camo do i rly need to switch games ? or it will be fixed ? and also when i try to ping servers using CMD i get no response on miller server .

    I'm having this same issue on Emerald... My ping usually will be about 100ms but currently is jumping from 500ms to 25000ms. Not sure why... I heard another person that lives in my area that plays PS2 is having the same issue. Is this an issue that more people are having? I have amazing internet and have been playing PS2 for 2 and a half years and have never had issues quite like this.

    I have also had this problem, this has been happening for me personally after the Bounty Update (October 2nd) my usual ping for the server I play Miller is usually under 50 with around 30-60 while playing as I'm currently looking at it from game it's THREE times from loading screen that and actually playing it's ranging from 1000ms to 3500ms.

    ive noticed when the latency spike stikes the bandwith is pulling 1mbps down and that seems to cause it and it does not count how many ppl are in area ping remins same

    This game has been plagued by latency issues for a long time. I don't think anyone has ever been able to actually solve them

    i dont know whats wrong but game is so unplayable ping sucks again it was fine but then update ****** up all or whatever i get like 200-300ms spikes again and ppl complain how i lag. i cant do anything hope they fix that soon.

    Yeah horrible lag here on emerald. I did a tracert and get 200-500ms ping when it hits the level3.nets. I understand its not a simple issue to fix for them but Its been going on long enough the should've made some progress by now. If it doesn't clear up soon I may uninstall for the last time.:(

    On Connery early in the morning, my latency was steady in 60-80 range but, I had many encounters that felt as though the enemy had been lagged and then snapped back causing 3-5 seconds worth of normal action to occur in .5-1 second. I don't want to suggest it was being done on purpose with a virtual or physical switch. I know the server has players from the other side of the globe early in the morning. If it was some sort of network load or something else that caused it to occur it made sense then why I see emeralds population much higher than Connery every time I've looked. (this is looking at populations for the last hour of play - stat i'm refering too).

    Confirmed. Latency is very bad. Tested today:
    Planetside2 (Cobalt, Miller): 167-280ms (would say 190 average)
    Other games (KF2, Teeworlds) - many EU servers: 30-45ms (this is the speed I have for many years now)
    Synthetic speedtests via ISP test sites: 22-38ms

    As far I remember Planetside2 latency was always worse then other games for me but few months ago I had below 100ms. Now latency doubled while the latency to other games is still the same. So it's not me and since other games still give me same latency as for years now I would even say it's not my ISP.

    Just took a screenshot to show that there is something pretty wrong. It shows me better latency to US servers than to EU (but I'm EU and usually get 35-50ms to EU servers in other games):

    Latency in game is not the showed 137 but worse (would say average 190 often above 200)

    So you're from Germany... There are some routing problems in Germany that they are trying to fix.

    It's 1 week old so about 2 more weeks remaining.

    No I'm not and no DTAG is not my ISP. It's latency from austria.
