#High ping spikes

Hi.
I'm from overseas, so please excuse me for using a translator.

Me and my friends, 6 in total, play MP on steam. We've been playing together for about 2 weeks now and have never had any problems.
However, in the last 2-3 days, everyone's ping has suddenly gotten really high. 300 is the norm, but it can go up to 2,000 or 4,000. Zombies suddenly appear out of nowhere and kill me, I can't loot their corpses when I catch them, or my attacks don't hit them because their actual position is off from mine. Some people are worse than others, but everyone has the same problem.

The biggest problem is when chunks of the map won't load, making it impossible to move around. There are black squares all over the map, and I often get stuck in traffic while trying to drive around.

I've played quite a few MPs and this is the first time this has happened to me. I've been trying to fix it for about two days but now I'm all fed up and thinking about quitting the game. Please help.

PS: We're using quite a few mods, and our host has already set our ram to 16GB to accommodate that.

Ping is just the time it takes from data to be transmitted from you to the server. Meaning it is mainly affected by distance and internet speed

#

What is the Max RAM the host has on their PC? What is their internet situation?

Our host has 32 RAM, we are using 16GB for PZ, and we know our internet is 1Gbps.

Have you contacted your internet service about any issues?

#

Since as said, ping issues are purely network related.

Are there black cell when you are alone the server or only black cell when certain players?

Services using other internet connections work fine, so my host hasn't contacted my internet service provider yet.
