Very high latency in HOTS

I’m having extremely high latency issues in HOTS. I have 100mb internet and I’m on wifi, but I normally do not have these issues with any online game including HOTS. Ping hits around 400 quite often and I’ve tried everything to fix the issue.

  1. Forwarding ports
  2. resetting routers/modems
  3. flushing DNS
  4. updating network drivers
  5. Updating and resetting computer
  6. unplugging network adapter
    Here are my MTR logs:

what now?
thx… :frowning:

Hey Grimwulf,

The WinMTR shows the latency spiking up to 921ms to the router/modem and dropping around 1% of packets. The average latency to the router/modem was 80ms which is pretty high for the connection not even leaving your home. So this looks like a problem of the wifi becoming unstable at times which causes your latency to spike.

If wifi is your only option you might want to try swapping between 2.4ghz and 5ghz to see which one gives you better stability (as long as the router supports both). Rebooting the router can cause it to search for a better / less crowded channel if there’s a lot of other wifi networks in your area.

damn, this is the first time its been like this. Thanks for the analysis! I’m getting a stronger wifi card for a better signal hopefully

hi… another lag spikes in game associated with blizzard… pls check it out… thank you…
