  1. Random high ping / lag spikes / packet loss rate in games/from games


    For the past 2 weeks+ since I updated to Windows 10 I have been experiencing absurd lag spikes whenever i play an online game, for example my connection is 6.66mbps down and 7.47 up when on a slump at the moment. Today I was playing Valorant and Rainbow Six Siege and the connection was fine up until around 3 hours into the session of Valorant my internet dies completely, i can't move, can't communicate in discord at all...Until I tab out of Valorant and my connection goes from 3000+ms and packet loss of 70~ to 20ms and 0 packet loss. I have tried to figure out whether this is just my network adapter by switching adapters and it's not the adapter. I first experienced this in Escape from tarkov however I believe it's to do with some sort of setting due to the fact that it's only when tabbed into games does my internet connection dieI can hear people in Discord but not speak back to them.

    CPU:Intel i-4790

    GPU:Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB

  2. Lag spikes while playing online games

    Over the last year or so I have been getting periodic spikes of lag where I am unable to move or control my character in game. I have run multiple ping tests and hardware usage tests and there is no correlation between a high ping and these spikes, or
    high hardware usage and these spikes. I receive in game feed back that I have a momentary loss of connection. During these lag spikes I also remain at stable temperatures and other features, such as discord and Spotify, remain connected. If anyone could figure
    out my issue or has any tips on how to potentially fix this issue, all help would be appreciated.

  3. Random ping spikes while gaming.

    I recently (about 2 weeks ago) started having random lag spikes while playing games. I only

    really notice it while playing online video games with friends, and i can tell that it is a ping issue not a frame rate issue. My Discord is also affected.

    My friends recommended that i reinstall my NVIDIA drivers, but to no effect. I am out of ideas my internet isn't the best but this is my first time with this issue.

    System:

    Intel i5-3570k

    16 GB DDR3

    7200 RPM HDD

    Upload: 11 Mbps

    Download: 60 Mbps

    Random ping spikes in games

    System:

    Mobo: Gigabtye GA-A320M-S2H

    RAM: 2xDDR4 8GB

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X

    Storage: 1 HDD and 1 SSD (Windows is on SSD)

    GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070

    OS: Windows 10

    Problem

    While playing online games, my ping will randomly
    spike up
    . In this time, my computer is effectively offline as I can't do anything online (use websites, discord calls etc). In games with built-in ping counters, it commonly reads 10,000 or more ping. After about 10 seconds, the ping will return to normal.
    The ping spikes get less common the longer my computer is on to the point they barely happen. They only start if I play an online game. I have been unable to find a fix that works for the current version of Windows 10.
