Absurd Connectivity Issues

[Agisha-thunderlord]

So Ive been playing wow the last month or so and my connection has been fine. Since Thursday or so my connection has been terrible and only getting worse and I have absolutely no idea why.

My family member on another computer 5 feet away on the same router, same server, has had no such issues. We’ve literally only played alongside each other this entire time and the problem has only been on my end.

Using a standard ping test: Fine

Using a ping test to the WoW North America Server? Fine 76 ping or so.

If I log onto the server right now I average 20,000 ping. Thats when it actually displays ping as most of the time the latency is so bad it cant. I dont know even know why the server lets me connect as looting an item takes upwards of a full minute to process.

I have cleared my DNS

I have disabled all Addons

I have set my graphics setting to minimum. (Never expected this to work)

I have an exception with windows firewall for WoW

I have no other apps working in the background.

I have done Scan and Repair multiple times.

I have outright uninstalled all addons.

Nothing is fixing the problem. Please help.

If that’s the case, what are the differences between the two setups?

Same version of windows including patches?
Same network card? Same drivers?
If wired, what happens if you swap cords?
If wireless, are they on the same band?

Does your account connect with no lag from the other pc?
Are you using all the same addons?

You’ve diagnosed the issue as being with that pc, since another one connecting from the same source didn’t have those issues, so what are the differences?

My family member on another computer 5 feet away on the same router, same server, has had no such issues.

Can you also play on that computer ok?

If you can I’d suspect a problem with the network controller.

If you can’t, then maybe a cvar clear, instructions are part of a full ui reset.

Im not gonna jinx myself cause it does come and go sometimes but my ping did immediately seem to drop after doing /console cvar_default

So for anyone who has this issue and I dont reply further there you go.

Kudos to Kozzae

This tells me it is a issue with your rig. Would start with any security software you have. Uninstall it with the security softwares uninstall software and then test

Check Ethernet/wireless drivers.

It’s also possible something is running in the background using the bandwidth
