spikes randomly and force reloads me into the server i am in played a death match with everyone standing still then catches up and I am dead, launched a practice and can stand still to shoot but soon as I moved or interacted with the bots I lagged out I assume its a packet loss thing?

can you try to play a death match with the following graphes on: Packetloss, Networt RTT and Network RTT Jitters and show about a 30sec clip or something like that

i think its more likely to just be isp sided

could be we can try Hard Network reset

not sure and its hard to know cause i live on a college campus, I can say with certainty that this is not an issue with any other games I play, (Destiny 2, CSGO, R6, etc)

Talonted Gamer
Talonted Gamer2mo ago
nothing
lyra
lyra2mo ago
nothing is needed it might have just been that you hopped on when your isp restarted a server or something like that and 7:20 can be seens as odd hour
