none of these settings fix rubber banding, there is a fix in the upcoming patch for OW2.

the problem is it runs on 50 ms in some matches and 150 ms on some matches is it like a server problem?

Hi, thanks for the video, I'm having a strange issue where I'm placed in NA servers rather than EU servers. I live in South Africa and usually play EU with 140-180 ping but am currently getting 230 ping in NA servers and I cant change it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

My internet tests say 12 ping. Since the season 4 patch, I have had 50+ ping, no matter what. Yes, I'm wired. I'll watch killcams and half my movement just don't register.

This is dumb. These are all known fixes.
