[2022] Server ping changed after patch

Original Post — Direct link

Anyone else notice that their ping to each server changed drastically after the patch?

I live in Utah and I connected best to the California US West server where I had 20 ping. Now the US West California server has 85 ping for me and my best server is now US Central Illinois with 37 ping whereas it used to be about 50 ping.

This is incredibly frustrating because I’ve played this game 99% of the time on 20 ping servers and now I’m forced to play at basically double the ping? I’m Ascendant 3 almost Immortal, I play this game competitively, and am very disappointed with this server change.

Same, I live in New Zealand and I usually connect to sydney servers with around 35 ping but now it ranges from 190-119 ping. This may be just a problem with my internet and nothing to do with the game but It's really annoying.

Complain to your ISP. Also tell me who they are and I’ll see if it’s fixable.

The Internet is not static. Which ISP are you using?
