    Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows how to fix serious lag issues on pcars? It's been like it since the end of last season. I have cars drifting down the straights so you can imagine what it's like trying to race. It doesn't do it on any other game so I'm pretty sure it's not my net. I've deleted my game and reinstalled it and nothing has changed. I'm thinking maybe if I deleted my saved data it may change something? Any suggestions would be appreciated, cheers.

    Didn't you say that you had some lag issues on PCARS and you changed your DNS to something that sorted it out?

    May already be a thread for this, but i made a STATIC IP for the PS4, then i port forwarded every PS4/PSN port.
    So basic steps are:
    Static IP
    Port Forward
    Find out your nets maximum MTU then put that setting in the PS4's MTU settings.

    Might Sound complicated but look it up, its easy as piss but it takes a while to do. Super worth it though.

    virtual ports within the router settings.
    you setup 'port forwarding' to open certain ports which helps within online stability during ps4 gaming

    How is this going @Toranafan-02 did you give changing the settings a go as I need to do something to try and improve my connection but I'm not sure we're to start as I'm get in between
    14mps to 41mps Download
    2mps to 12mps Upload
    18ms to 40ms Ping
    Which is a lot better than what I was getting say a year ago.
    Any help would be great at this point because at this point I think I'd have to think about pulling out of is season if I can't improve it

    My download maxes out at 17mbps and upload is around 4, but no problems for me. Sometimes seems like there are certain people if hosting that your not compatible with.

    To be honest mate I didn't change anything. I tried but it all sort of blew over my head and I found most the changes via PlayStation made little to no difference. I never went into actually changing motum settings but it came good over time little things like deleting unnecessary content helps speed up the ps4 itself I've noticed
