High ping isn’t necessarily a problem anyways, AC’s netcode is pretty solid in that regard.

It’s only a problem when the ping jumps up and down all the time, like it was with this guy yesterday (at the end of the race when I looked again he was at 50).

Thats a common problem if people start downloading something in a middle of a race.
Sometimes Windows does that, if you have automatic updates... But these cases are rare and next race are gone.

I totally agree servers should run the app (if is not a problem to implement), sometimes is impossible not to get rammed when you are alongside someone.
