So as of recent I’m getting large amounts of packet loss and high ping, usually happens in air rb causing my plane to go out of control and crash. I’ve tried different servers with no success, I have 800mbps fiber internet with under 5 ping. What could be causing this? Do I need to reinstall the game??

Been happening to me too, ever since the event started. Clearly a server issue.

Well, I thought that was my internet issue, but now seems not, even 30 ping will get PL over 40% sometimes

I go from 23ms of ping to 151ms and 40%, and usually having to restart the game to get back into the match. Very annoying, hoping for compensation if this continues. Also playing on NA servers, unsure if this happens on EU, SA, or CIS.

All of them have such kind of issues, it will suddenly appear, especially when I switch the vehicles or on the air.
Was having the same problem on NA servers but switched to EU and haven’t experienced any problems.
SA has been having issues. But it has issues multiple times a year.
Yeah they really should compensate at least the SL for repair costs, I’ve probably had 15 planes crash because of this.
Same here, Major packet loss on NA server.
Fiber connection and everything else is stable.
Originally it was only NA server for me but today I tried all 3 with the same results.
same here, 33ping 30% ish PL, completely unplayable on the NA server. EU server is fine. It seems the NA server works fine for some higher-ping friends. I wonder if it’s their algorithm for ping compensation.
Whilst that will respond fast, that’s just proving you are connected to the internet.
You want to use netstat to pull a server ip, and tracert it.
(Edit - Even where they say on the support site to ping www.warthunder.com it just shows you are able to ‘connect’ to the web server itself)
Same here. Ever since Battle Eye was implemented, major packet loss every other game. It’s bad, not just 6 or 9% but up to 60%. I have never suffered packet loss issues previously.
I can hope that my premium time purchase can go to fixing these dog shit servers right now, because this is getting stupid.
well, that’s true, I’m just trying to prove my connection to the internet is fine and not my local packet lost. For how many people this is affecting, it’s likely a server issue
It’s actually more likely a route issue because not everyone is affected.
Must be a few routes around the world that are doing it.

LA I think will be somewhere this could be happening because of the fires. Dunno what’s happening with your SA server though.
Yeah. No clue. But SA server connection does has issues more often than the others.
Could be an issue with the underwater cables aging. Being on active fault lines is not good for cable life.
I’m on the east coast in Canada. Usually get 33ms ping which tell me the server is probably in New York or somewhere close to it.
The game started to behave badly the day I received the battle eye popup.
As far as I know they’re still using Leaseweb in Virginia.
