[gamebreaking] HUGE lags in random maps (into d/c's) [COMPILATION]

Was playing on Canada server today and randomly started getting spikes in a Heist when I was 3/4 of the way done. From 60ms to 200-400 ish and back constantly. Then it went all the way up to 6k then it dc'd.

Switched to Texas and it was fine except for a few random spikes to ~100.

Nothing else connected to the internet, no automatic updates are on, and I'm on 1 gig fiber.

SP Server, happening since monday patch.

Same here, huge lag spikes... winMTR shows normal latency while ingame the latency goes from 80 to few thousands.

What I noticed though by installing and monitoring with NetBalancer, whenever the latency spikes so do the packets per second. From some average 40 per second it goes to 2-600.

I gave PoE highest upload priority in NetBalancer. This helped a bit, now the spikes do not take that long, but then again, it might be just a coincidence. Will update after few days.

Never had this issue before with PoE or any other game though.

A friend told me this looks like a buffer bloat issue. Me (and I assume many others) are not allowed to change the settings on the ISP router to try to work out the issue from QoS.

Also, to get some the question out of the way: yes, netflix is streaming on at least one device in the house, but that was the case before this league and never had issues. And yes, I am connected with a cable.

Same for me, sometimes I can full clear map, some time I have disconnects or deaths without even seeing 80-90% of map.

bumping in hopes for ggg response

So, your average is fine, but you are spiking very early in the route, definitely on the third hop, possibly as early as the second though the no response obscures that.

First hop is you, second is usually the box in the street that serves the whole street, third would be something that would server a larger area.

YOU need to contact your ISP and chase it up with them.

There is a secondary issue of some packet loss as it passes through the level3 hops.

WinMTR is perfect, my country's realm is freezing the ping to 5k ms when a lot of things happen on the screen and then everything comes back in accelerated time as I show in the video

the strange thing is, for my friend in the instance the server is perfect
for me it freezes my ping when a lot of things happens on the screen
now that the strange thing comes, if i log into other country's realm, none of that happens

is a problem that is related only to this realm and to me, no one else, what can it be?



Im having this problem for about 2 weeks

I had a similiar problem to this, but only in maps. Hideout was okay and the campaign was runing fine, too. Also no Problems in other games like d3.

What fixed it in the end was to switch to a different hideout (no idea why this helped).

But at least something you can try. For me the luxury one was the issue but maybe its others, too.

Same issue here since league start, random 10k+ latency spikes followed by a disconnect. It has been happening randomly and not just in maps. Never had this kind of issue before, it is making the game almost unplayable.
Too bad, I was enjoying the league...

Bumping this.. I started having the same issue starting yesterday evening. Canada East server, get the same results trying DC Texas or others.

Completely unplayable in this state... Hideout and maps everything has 300+ latency
