Unusually High ping Lately?

Lately I have seen that ping has been consistently 400+ when usually it was around 100, packet loss also seems to be rarely 0%.

I wanted to know if this is happening to other people as well? Because its not a new internet issue on my end as internet speed is the same as before. When playing War Thunder, my PC only seems to receive ~150Kbps according to Task Manager.
But when doing anything else it does go way higher up to the speed of my internet. What is the reason for the bad ping and PL?

Is the receive speed supposed to be roughly 150Kbps? Can anyone kindly tell me how much their PC is receiving when only playing?

I also have sudden high ping and PL spikes lately. Its just random. When I test my connection everything is fine.

Same, random spikes to 999, no rhyme or reason… but happens often enough that I just don’t want to play anymore.

Try playing with graphic settings. I did enable High quality option than upped some and now its almost gone. I beileve its has to do something with ground teerrain graphics not being optimized enough. Didn’t have that many issues when playing air RB.

Not so sure, I just had it happen at about 20,000 ft. I had an F-105 dead to rights and the hamsters messed their bedding… I was then yo-yo’d around the map for 10 seconds before eating an Aim-9L from an A-10 at 5000ft with no recollection of how I got that low.

I’m about 30k away from unlocking the Rafale, after that I’m putting the game down until I read that they’ve fixed this mess.
