Over the past 2-3 weeks I have been noticing that my MS will get increasing higher as our raid night progresses. This is only happening while in the raid instance. While I am out in the open world, dungeons, delves, it is fine, stays in the 40-50ms range. When I zone into the raid instance it will start around 50-60 and randomly shoot up to the 200 and up, getting to the point where none of my actions go off until 5-10 seconds later. I can normally fix this for a period of time (30-ish minutes) by alt-f4’ing and logging back in, only for it to go back up after a time.
I have ran speedtest during these instances and I am at 700 down/45up. I have disabled addons and I am at the point where I don’t know what else to do.
Latency is a average of distance to server and might indicate congestion on the line. It also is not a snap shot, but a average over time. So you might see it increase as you go.
Your speed does not help your latency. Speed can help if you have a lot of people or devices using the bandwidth. Devices like Alexa can really cause issues if it is uploading information to Amazon.
Running speed tests while also congested is not helpful, as the speed test itself could cause congestion that shows as latency. Also depends on what type of internet you have, where you live, what other factors might be affecting the network between your isp and blizzard.
It’s hard to nail down latency, you could use a tester like winmtr to check, but Blizzard does not post their IP addresses to test this.
It might not be your addons, but disabling then is not a UI reset, that means deleting or renaming folders and resetting your game to how it was first installed.
There are a few things you can try posted in support:
Also there is a setting in the game client, check to see what it is set for.
