Recent ping spikes

TeamPotato-1294 · June 28, 2019, 4:53pm

So I just recently switched to a static ip, 192.168.1.2 to be exact, and ever since I’ve had massive ping spikes in Overwatch (which has been fine until now, no latency issues ever). Below is a WinMTR I’ve done

What do I do? I’ve reset my network settings and tried to go back to my old ip but it wont switch, it stays on 192.168.1.2 and says (Preferred)

Just a note first: the static IP is only in your local network, since it starts with 192.*, so that shouldn’t affect your actual connection to Overwatch or anything else. However, I do see that your connection to the router is pretty unstable, occasionally spiking to 827ms. I would say go back to your previous settings, but then we see this:

This is where you start connecting to the ISP, and it’s showing a 1% data loss (less packets being received than you’re sending to it), and a long response time of 3 full seconds occasionally. This will absolutely make for a bad gaming experience. You’ll need to address this with your ISP, and forwarding these results to them isn’t a bad idea.
