Ever since Fresh Classic launch I’ve been experiencing major latency issues. The game launches fine and runs great for approx. 30 seconds and then the latency spikes to over 2k and stays there consistently.
I’ve tried everything I can think of including; restarting the game, pc on/off, resetting modem, calling net provider, cleaning pc both physically & disk clean ups, and ran virus checks. I’m not running on wifi, and no streaming services running while playing.
My internet is 297 down and 84 up. I live on west coast of Canada.
I’m not really sure what else to do, latency has never been a problem for me just all of a sudden since fresh classic launch no matter what time of day the latency spikes and makes it unplayable.
Any suggestions?
The network you are playing on is throttling your WoW traffic. Confirm by using a VPN and see if your latency is normal. Then disable VPN and see if it goes back up.
Thank you very much. I didnt even realize my anti-virus had a built in vpn that was activated. My net speed increased and I have yet to see a latency increase.
Thank you!
Who is on the interwebs now days without a good vpn anyways? Thats kinda scary
VPN is bad for gaming, because it adds latency. A VPN is only good if you are trying to get around public network throttling or ISP throttling your traffic because they don’t like the app you are using.
I see very little latency with my VPN vs it being off. Like 3-5 MS so instead of 20 i’ll see 25 or 28 on wow
no it’s not. vpn is good but any half derp hacker can trace your ip back.
