The predator and fire team matches are lagging. By this I mean, that you run forward and then you’re pulled backwards into a spot you just ran from, just to run forward a little bit more and be pulled back to where you just came from again. From that moment on you’re in an endless vortex of going eight steps forward and five steps back. I’m on PS4 pro. My spouse also has the same problem on his PS5. Also when all of this is happening, the game will has suddenly pull us out of the missions. It’s frustrating as the predator. But I find it’s even more frustrating as a fire team.
I have the suspicion that it has to do with when the predator shows up. Today I was playing a game with a fire team and we didn’t run into the predator until the very end as soon as he showed up everything started glitching again.
This glitching did not affect me until the new update which included the new predators.

This is packet loss and can be any connection between you and the server, so may not be your internet connection. its not ping either. packet loss can happen with a good ping. there is not much you can do about it and it usually indicates a problem with the internet that will have to be sorted by the responsible ISP of wherever the problem lies.
you should test by running PING -t commands to different addresses located in different areas of the world.
If you get lots of succesful pings and then sseveral “request timed out” then thats packet loss.
Simply pinging google.com isnt enough as they have very local caches that dont really tell you anything. You need to test on multiple IP’s that are known to originate in specific areas to determine where the problem is.
However if you do ping google.com and still get packet loss then the poroblem IS on your end or somewhere close.
Sometimes when ISPs are updating or changing hardware or doing maintenance this can be a temporary problem. I had this not too long ago for days on end, and then the IPS fixed it and not had it again since.
