Hey all,
I’m experiencing relatively high ping (between 300-2000ms) after a Windows 10 reset. I used the built-in Windows reset tool to keep all my personal files but I’m otherwise running a fresh Windows 10 install, a fresh WoW install, and fresh addon installs. I’ve tried switching to hardwired ethernet instead of running off WiFi, resetting my modem/router, restarting my pc, flushing my DNS, playing without addons, scanning/repairing my game files, checking for/closing background + startup processes that might be using bandwidth, setting WoW’s priority to high in my task manager, using Powershell to uninstall bloatware, and just about anything else I can think of at this point. I also used command prompt to ping a WoW east coast server and it shows a normal ping and no packet loss. I’m at a loss for what could be causing it. Before the Windows reset, I comfortably stayed around 50ms, and the 300+ I’m getting now makes arenas basically unplayable.
I’m looking for literally any other suggestions to try to fix this issue. Arenas are basically the only reason I play the game anymore, and I really want to get back to them. I would love if someone could provide additional guidance or suggestions for a fix. I’m not the most tech savvy individual, but if anyone has a suggestion and needs additional information in the form of logs or something like that, please let me know and I’ll figure out how to provide it.
