The ping is the same. They said they are just measuring it differently. Basically, a round trip so that doubles the ping but it's the same as the one-way trip they were measuring before. I don't know how long you've played The Isle but this is the best it's ever been. No more lag, rubberbanding, or stuttering. The last update improved gameplay 1000% so it's weird you say they effed up big. It's not perfect by any means, but the crashes have always been there. They're not new to this update.
