MS Spikes in Maps during Combat

Started about 8 hours ago.

Has gotten so bad sometimes it's almost sill frames.

Here is a WinMTR from the last map I did (Overgrown).

My connection is Ethernet cable, no wireless.

I've tried Auto-Gateway, DC, and Texas with same results.

The issue is packet loss between your computer and router;

The first thing to try is a power cycle;

Thanks. I'll do that.
You're very welcome!

Without meaning to be a pain - if the issue persists, could I ask for a new MTR log?

Yeah, if it's still an issue. I'll make a new log and post it.
Ran a cpl maps after the power cycle.

No spikes. Running smooth.

Thanks again for the help.
Great to hear!

Thanks for taking the time to post an update.
