Frequent lag spikes

Support Technical Support
1

I’ve been having frequent lag spikes for the last month or two, doesn’t matter what I’m doing, happens in the middle of Oribos, while questing, dungeons, arenas and bg’s.

I’ve ran a tracert and pathping but I’m not sure how to post them.

Same issues here and I am on a brand new gaming PC with clean install. I did not use to have this issue up until recently.

You’ll want to run a WinMTR. Instructions are pinned at the top of the forum:

Are you playing on a wireless connection? Roughly 14% of the data that the computer is sending to the router/modem is being lost on the home equipment, and showing an occasional high ping of 151ms. Make sure you reboot all networking equipment, and if possible, switch to cable if you’re not using one already.

If the issue persists, you’ll want to ring up the ISP about the equipment.
