Hello di9girl and welcome back to the game.
I have to say there is no change in the game and we have no increase in the ping.
but I can tell you some information maybe it could help you with this problem.
* Firstly, check your connection if there is any device connected into it and they are downloading something. download could increase your network ping.
* Secondly, check your windows update setting(if you are playing in windows), maybe your windows is updating automatically and it could increase your ping too.
I hope these two tips help you.
sorry if my English isn't good enough.
enjoy trucking.
