Im having trouble with outrageous lag on my ps4 slim while playing the game - constant deadslides, no regs and being shot completely around corners to name a few, and the symbol for prediction error (line with dots) is a permanent part of my game. Also the fan on my ps4 runs like a jet engine while I play.
There is nothing wrong with my connection and use a LAN-cable. I live in Sweden and play on servers in Germany or UK with 30-40 ping so that shouldn’t be an issue. It is so frustrating since I love the game itself but the lag makes the gaming experience horrible.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there anything I can do to improve the gameplay or is it just my ps4 that can’t handle the game? If so, will it improve when ps5 is released or is it just the servers themselves that are so terrible?

Yes unfortunately all console players do. I'm fully convinced that this game is not meant to run properly on console. with an Included FPS cap on the hardware at 60 and the addition of crap servers the game just CANNOT function properly if AT ALL. I haven't played a game without lag since maybe the beginning of the season when it dropped for the 1st 1-2 hrs. because the players were fresh off the download with good connection, and there were very few. Take a break, start a smurf, que up again idk bro. As for next generation I would like to 'assume' it runs a bit more smooth but I wouldn't hold my breath, more likely ppls patience are running short already and it'll show whenever the next thing is released.
