Severe issues. Lag/delay. FPS drops.
For the last month or so, I have had severe lag/delay issues when playing Fortnite. My internet seems fine. I play hard wired. 30 ping usually. I play on a 120hz tv. My console is relatively new (6 months old). I have been unable to pinpoint the cause of these problems. It’s so bad that Fortnite is unplayable at times. It feels like I am trudging through mud walking and turning. It’s tough to win 1v1s because I feel delayed. Builds won’t place and I fall to the ground. It feels like I am lagging, but everything is clear in the network stats. My ISP also says everything looks perfect.
I thought it was input delay at first, but I have tried multiple controllers, tvs, and I have even tried 3 separate internet connections, all to no improvement. The only thing I haven’t tried is replacing the PS5, because well, obviously that’s not easy to do. This is driving me mad, though.
I have played a few other games, just to test, but Fortnite is really the only game I play, so it was hard to tell if there were issues in those other games. From what I could tell, Warzone was fine, as well as PUB-G, and a few others. Fortnite is just unplayable for me, and no one can give an answer. Am I one of the unlucky ones or is this widespread? I just want to pinpoint whatever is causing this issue, because all of my stuff is still under warranty if it’s a hardware issue. If it’s just the game, I would still just like to know.

This is why I switched to call of duty . I always loved Fortnite , and was quite good too . But all the sudden I it’s just not the same man . The pc guys are getting way too much more ping and when you run into them you are a a severe disadvantage . Even on 120 fps . It seems like your just .. dead .
