High Interpolation Delay at Random - Low Ping (Only on ORD1)

Low Ping - High IND spikes seemingly at random.

This happens with ORD1 - I joined an LA server & had higher ping (80ms) but no IND spikes.

I am located in South Carolina w/ a 1GBps fiber connection.

I am experienced with networking and have worked in the IT industry - this is making me scratch my head.

Any idea what could be causing it? I’ve tried just about everything short of putting my router in a bucket of rice.

^^^ The above is purely in the Practice range. It’s 5x worse in a Quick Play match.

***This only happens with Overwatch, every other online game I play averages 20ms ping and ZERO rubberbanding, lag spikes, frame drops, etc.

I’m running an HP Omen w/ Nvidia 2060 / 32GB RAM @ 165FPS

You can’t use a practice range IP for these tests, as those are deprioritized servers and won’t have much traffic. You’ll need to gather the IP from a quickplay match, and I recommend PingPlotter instead of WinMTR. Looks like you’re on IPv6, which WinMTR does not support.

Noted - thank you so much for the info. I didn’t know any of those things!

I will follow up asap! I’m running a few other tests to avoid wasting valuable technician time.

There are some low hanging fruits like the pure distance of my wireless run. I’m trying not to embarass myself. :slight_smile:

Sounds like a good plan. :sunflower:

I’m getting pretty high latency as well. I will say that my ping was normal when I solo queued but as soon as I queued with my teammate, we were both 160+ latency. I also think I’m playing with players from the Korean servers, when I live in the U.S. Here’s my PingPlotter info from 1 game.

The ping starts getting bad in NTT’s network, which is who your ISP (AT&T/SBC Global) works with to route their traffic.

Oh okay. I assume there isn’t much I can do to prevent that then?

You can call AT&T and tell them you’re having very bad lag when playing games. If you pay them for service yourself, it’s worth asking for said service.
