I have very stable, very high-quality fiber internet, and my PC has a wired ethernet connection to my router. For the last two days, I will get random, insane lag spikes mid-game that go as high as 1400 ms for 10 to 15 seconds before settling back down to my usual 35-45 ms. During two such lag spikes, I’ve run an Ookla Speed test, which has showed no issues on my end. I’ll also usually be in a Discord call with friends, and when I have these spikes, they don’t notice any drop in quality of my voice connection. These circumstances have led me to think it’s a server-side issue, but none of my other friends are having this problem.
Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: I’m playing in the Southeastern U.S. (Georgia) if that helps.
Been having the same issue a handful of times. Earlier today I played for an hour and didn’t experience a single problem; however, I just got off from playing because of this issue about 10 minutes ago. My friend that I play with also had the same experience. Very frustrating since I’ve lost games and got flamed in chat bc of this.
Same issue here. It happens every so often, but today has been pretty bad. I don’t want to get penalized for leaving, especially since I’m trying to give my team a chance to win since my controls are messed up.
Won’t be the first time servers have had lag spike prone periods (experienced it on EU servers about a year ago). Was about to say I had the exact same issue a little while ago, but mine was due to wireless connection so that doesn’t apply to you.
Have these issues in the past been resolved in any reasonable amount of time to your knowledge? How long did your issue take to fix (even if it was a little different than mine)?
For me it took some weeks, maybe close to a month when it was at its worst. Tons of players had that experience in the same overall period, but not always at the same time in matches. It was just very weird in general how it took turns affecting players at different times.
I’d say 2-3 weeks was the general time period from the couple of times I experienced something similar.
jumping from 60ms to 120ms in a comp match on the gue4 server. Is there a way I can not get on this server? I have better ping to SA servers from FL then this east coast server.
