Describe the Issue:<br />
Persistent high latency and occasional disconnects over the last several days. The issue appears to worsen throughout the day. Typical latency is around 50-70 ms around lunchtime (CET/CEST), increases to 100-200 ms during the afternoon, and reaches 300-600+ ms during the evening. The highest spike observed was approximately 1100 ms. Other players have reported similar issues.

To rule out local network problems, I ran continuous pings to both Google IPv4 (8.8.8.8) and Google IPv6 (google.de) while playing. Even when the game reported ~400 ms latency, both remained stable at 7-9 ms with no packet loss or noticeable jitter. My connection is VDSL (approximately 227 Mbps down / 42 Mbps up).

This may indicate route congestion, peering issues, or congestion involving any DDoS/proxy infrastructure rather than a local connectivity problem.
<br />
How to reproduce:<br />
Play from South-West Germany on Telekom during European peak hours. For me, latency gradually increases from midday into the evening. Continuous pings to Google remain stable while in-game latency rises significantly.
<br />
How is it supposed to work:<br />
Latency should remain relatively stable throughout the day, similar to the ~50 ms I consistently experienced previously, without large increases during peak hours or disconnects.
