I have high latency in Overwatch only (70ms-110ms sometimes higher), before my latency was 50ms-60ms. I tried reseting my network device, renewing my IP and flushing my DNS, updating my drivers, closing background applications. I don’t have VPN or proxies on. My internet speeds are normal (28mbps download, 5mbps upload). I ran WinMTR for one qp game, I hope it helps.

Did you experience latency during that match when you ran the test? The only problem I am really seeing some minor blips in the 11th and 12th hubs which might suggests some spikes, but the average ping rate is not bad.

yeah i did, during whole game ping was 80-90 sometimes spiked to 120
sorry for the late reply i am busy past few days
The lag is coming from the ISP and their routing partner in the test you provided. The worst column shows the ping climbing, and then there is eventual data loss on later hops. You can forward the test results to your ISP for assistance.
Okay so, my friend just told me that it’s not cuz of my ISP cuz if it was it would be in every game so I am little confused here. I said in the first post it’s happening only in overwatch (for example in rainbow six siege I am running on 40-50ms without spikes). Is it cuz of my ISP then or not?
That information isn’t correct. It doesn’t have to be consistent to be lag on your ISP’s network.
The test you provided absolutely shows lag in the ISP network and their routing partner like I mentioned before. There haven’t been any reported issues in your region, but since this is the Americas/Oceania forum, it wouldn’t be reported here first if something came up.
My provider is COX and I am having the same problem, and it started about a week ago. I’m in West Coast and here’s my trace route result
The ping spikes up to 250ms almost everyday, and the only time that’s playable is after midnight ish.

Please don’t piggyback on another player’s thread. You’re playing in a different continent than the OP, so I recommend starting a new thread with your WinMTR. A traceroute won’t be sufficient for tracking down lag. That being said, if it’s bad during the day and fine at night, that’s a classic symptom of overcrowding on a hub/network, and your ISP may be the only party that can assist you.
Yeah I’m posting on this forum because on EU forum nobody answered me. Thank you for your answer I’ll ask my ISP today.
Edit: This is something I need to speak to my ISP about. Please disregard.
Hi
Sorry to piggyback on this thread, but I’m on the same continent as OP, and I’m seeing the same issue.
Nobody seems to read the EU tech support forums so I’ll try here.
I believe this issue has to do with routing issues within Cogentco (Blizzard’s network provider in Europe).
I’m playing from Iceland and being routed through Italy to play on a server in the Netherlands.
This is causing the high latency. OP is also being routed through Italy. I’m guessing he’s also nowhere near Italy.
Here’s my traceroute.
Normally, I would be routed this way:
Iceland -> UK -> Netherlands
Currently, this is my route:
Iceland -> UK -> Italy -> Netherlands
