Hello,
I tried Multiplayer lobbies and sometimes I see jerky moving cars. I am trying to find out if it is due to my connection or cars connection or the lobby connection. Is there a way how to find where the problem is?
Thanks.
 
If you're on PS4 and the lobby host is on PS5, then this causes other cars in the lobby to stutter and lag around. Which is why lobbies are unplayable for me
 
I am on PS5.
My connection seems to be more than sufficient. If I race Dailies, everything is always perfect. But Lobbies work differently.
 
I think it works the same way if you're on PS5 and the host is on PS4. This seems to be the issue since you don't experience lag in dalies, as this problem only occurs in lobbies

Lobbies aren't region-locked, primarily. That allows people from further away to take part and distance = time = latency.

Nonetheless, the general rule is if everyone else is jumping about it's your connection. If it's one or two people, it's more likely to be theirs.

As you've made... more than one thread about your connection being ropey, I'd suggest that it's not "more than sufficient" and you try this:

Being honest, if you feel like you need to ask, deep down you know your connection can be a bit up and down. This has nothing to do with speed but stability mostly.

That said it does get worse around updates and GTWS events but that’s passing issues.
