the lag has literally made the game unplayable at this point. at first the lag was just a lag spike every 5 seconds, then after i tried to lower the graphics it only made it worse, now my game just freezes, oh but the audio and camera work so its only me that freezes, and now connectivity is an issue. its weird i have never had this problem since the last time i played it has only started today, but it does happen with every blizzard game i have. so can somebody help me with this god forsaken game breaking lag?

Are you seeing actual latency spikjes in-game? You can check your ping in the top left hand corner by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F. For issues like these we’ll generally want to get some WinMTR results. Please run that while you’re playing and during the issue. Once done export the results and post the contents here. When posting those results, please format it by encasing it in a set of ~~~ like so:

Hey, Meme! Sorry for the delay and thank you for the WinMTR test! The connection test on the home network looks very similar to Chronosoul’s test that I posted on here.
I’d recommend the same steps for you, and if it been persistent the last few days, what’s the home modem/router model?
sorry for late reply, however the steps linked have not yet worked for me and am still lagging
Meme,
Are you using a wireless connection? If so, try switching to wired and see how the game performs. The huge latency spike between your PC and router indicate that the connection is being delayed there and that could cause the lag you are seeing in-game.
i do not believe i can use a wire to connect my PC as my pc is too far away from my router, id need like lots of wire to connect them
