Ping & Pac loss rises when using boosters

Has anyone else been having a problem with your ping and packet loss rising and making the game unplayable when you use larger boosters.
Over the last few days i have been using 150% to 500% boosters and each time i use them. My ping goes up. And my packet loss fluctuates. When i dont use any boosters or just 10% to 15% this doesnt happen and my game runs fine.
I am on a wired internet connection. I am starting to get frustrated because i use the boosters with some premiums i have bought to help me grind some of the tree and i end up getting very little for the effort.

It is probably a placebo or just random bad luck.

Are you queueing for multiple servers?

No i am only on the north american server. It probably is bad luck. Was just seeing if anybody else was having the same issue.

I’ve never noticed an issues personally

(though I swear I always get uptiers with boosters :P )

Normally its fine. But the last few days have just been bad.
It cpuld be my internet provider. It just felt weird it was only when i use them. Unless those boosters are just to much for my internet to handle lol.

What gamemode?

Since the major update. NA Naval servers have been extremely tempromental and I have no idea if the same is true for Air and ground.

Also, its been observed that connection issues to the NA servers get worse after consecutive matches and that a game restarts seems to help. (I cannot confirm if this is the case however, so dont quote me)

But if you are doing a few matches to warm-up first and then applying the booster. It might be relevant.

Ground arcade. I was playing 5.7 germans. I bought the two fronts pack when it came out and have been using that to help the grind.

Read, above. No idea if Ground and Air are affected by the same issues as naval at the moment, but might be worth a game restart before using your boosters. Might do nothing, but it might also fix the issue.

Thats worth a try. Thank you. I will have to try that in the future.

Try the scientific method first, then if that fails you can check for DMT elves inside your walls.

Definitely lol

last 2 days now, air RP is unplayable to the some weird spikes in pl im getting too. plane jerks around like its being tugged in all different directions every few seconds. the chat doesnt even connect either when in the hanger. no other issues in other online games or services.

I have been experiencing packet loss for a week or so, but i cant say i have connected it to boosters at all. Seems to have settled at the start of this week though

Sense i usually play only a few matchs a day and usually with my boosters activated. I linked the two together. And its usually my first few games. Then once my boosters are done i have a few games that seem to run ok. It might just be the game. Like Morvran said it might be a placebo type thing.
