It's probably all the re-downloading of the game that people are doing, limiting bandwidth to the game server. Don't know for certain, but lag often spikes after patch day when the patch doesn't work as intended.

Yeah the lags are terrible today.

As a pollish player the ping to NA is noticable. There are some lags here and there but oh well I accepted it and played with some minimal delay I could get used to but
... today my ping on NFNA went from acceptable to tragic. I think it dobuled or even tripled. So high ping besides obvious increase of delays of every action causes lots of bugs for me when playing my CV. Today I launched 18 planes instead of 9, I couldn't return particular squadrons several times (no reaction for return key at all) and managing my FPs in dogfights is ... useless.

I'll try to play tomorrow and if this problem is still there I will say NF goodbye.

Interesting thing that this high ping started not directly after patch but about 8/9 PM GMT. I played for about 4 hours and it was normal for me but than ping gone mad.
Hope SDE isn't redirecting data transfer thru some Korean servers cause for me it looks like it.

Routing to the server is the same for me, if you are still getting lag run a pathping and post here and lets
see if we can isolate the issue

I played some time today and everything was ok. So I hope it was some temporary problems only.
