I have been having packet loss and lag spike issues playing OW2 on PS5. People just teleport around or fall through map geometry for a second or two while my ping shoots up from 30 to 120+. I have never been disconnected however, luckily.
I saw a video about adjusting the MTU setting on my PS5 to make the packet sizes smaller. The video said Call of Duty MW/Warzone recommended 1472. However having tested increments of the values, everything between 1465-1472 results in my router receiving a time out error when pinging www.google.com.
The MTU value of 1464 and below work fine and flawlessly on ping tests. I am wondering if I can use this MTU setting through my PS5’s network settings when playing Overwatch 2? Will there be any significant degradation in performance or other issues?
I’m trying to rule out all other possible problems before I increase my monthly bill to rent a newer modem/router from by service provider or buying a dedicated router.
Thanks
