Hello,
I just started having this issue, when I was given a new modem from my ISP (xfinity). I log in and game runs great, no latency issues…after a little while both my home and world are 200+ and the game starts rubberbanding and lagging to where its almost unplayable. I have tried deleting my cache and WTF folders and same thing happens. Minute or two of 30ms then it jumps and becomes unplayable. Please help!
If the problem started when they changed your equipment, then the logical step would be to call them about it.
The issue here is the only problem im having is with wow, you think they are going to troubleshoot my video game? My internet runs fine, every other game is good, speed tests are good…its just wow. I still need help if anyone has any suggestions.
Never had any luck with ISP supplied modems. If the issue stated with the new equipment then most likely it’s the equipment that is the issue. If you are wireless try a different Chanel. If wired try a different port or reset the modem to factory settings.
I bought my own modem and have never looked back I run a night hawk
I’ve been experiencing the exact same thing, super frustrating!
Yeah it’s so annoying that this issue ONLY HAPPEN TO WOW.
The issue seems to stem from inbetween your ISP and Blizzard server, and without actual Blizzard employee that have access to connection details, you can only PRAY it fixes by itself
For me that lives in Indonesia, this issue comes and goes, usually every few month, but only a problem for like 3 days max. And i can bust out my singapore VPN and play the game just fine.
But this week, few hours after tuesday weekly reset i had connection issue that even VPN struggles with sometimes.
For you guys that lives in the States, it’s just lag spikes but for me i just straight up had to alt f4 and relaunch wow, and hope i didn’t get connected to bad servers.
Honestly, after doing a bunch of test (and i mean a bunch) this week, i just concluded weird thing is going on with the servers in USA that Blizzard uses and some ISP uses.
Neither Blizzard and ISP can do anything about it, your ISP might be able to, but i doubt you can convince your ISP costumer service to let you talk to someone that can actually change your route around.
So just pray man, or try vpn around (try protonvpn, it’s free with unlimited data)
or if you have mobile data, tether your phone to your PC and try to uses that.
