Hello,
For the past few days until now my game has been experiencing high latency and lag, especially when engaging in pvp. It was normal before, any solution to fix the problem?

Are you on the east coast by chance? The game is literally unplayable for me right now and it’s entirely on Blizzards end yet I see no posts anywhere talking about this.

You have an average ping of 42ms in that test. The issue with software like WinMTR or PingPlotter is that when you have a node or three that ignore ICMP requests, you can’t use the packet loss data.
I absolutely can because the game world literally freezes at the exact same time the packet loss is showing in pingplotter. It’s not even remotely playable. This is not happening because requests are being ignored. Every single other game, service, website is fine besides anything Blizzard related and the issues don’t start happening until it’s handed off to Blizzard. The issue is at the lost hop before the Chicago server being et-0-0-1-pe01-evch1.as57976.net. ae2 always rejects packets. This is not my first time dealing with this issue.
As it should. It ignores some response requests, but it still moves packets through to the next hop. That isn’t the same as packet loss. I’m also playing on Chicago servers and am routed through the same final hops as you.
If the lag is intermittent, then I’d look to other sources as the cause.
