Random lag spikes in battlegrounds, really bad

Any else getting really bad lag spikes in battlegrounds? Sometimes it appears it’s fine and then out of nowhere the lag spikes come in ranging from 1 or 2 second delays to up to like 10 seconds or more.

Ddidn’t have this problem before the prepatch, I tried all the “network” options one by one and also disabled all addons.

Now it’s also random Bnet disconnects as well.

I guess I’ll just bump this, it’s getting worse.

Hmm, it’s still going on.

Hi Ando

Let’s take a look at a WinMTR test to start here:

The instructions are on this Blizzard Support page:

Once you have the tool open enter the IP number for the server group you play on in the WinMTR box then hit start.

137.221.105.2 (West Coast)
24.105.62.129 (Central - Chicago)

(only the number - include periods)

Leave it run on deskstop while you play. When you hit one of these latency moments tab out. Then use the button that copies Text to your clipboard. Paste that on your thread here.

*You may need to alter or remove any URL addresses to paste on forum. You could also place the test results in a code block - here are the instructions:

Open chat box - paste test then right click - “select all”. Should highlight everything. Then press the preformatted text button along top of chat box. Looks like this </>.

Ando is on Moon Guard which is a West Coast realm.

Should I just use my own ip or does it have to be one of those server groups? I’m not in the US so I’m not sure how this works.

And yes, the random mega lag spikes are still going on. I’ll try that antimalware tool you recommended on another thread.

The WinMTR traces all the hop switches along your connection to Blizzard. I see you are on Moon Guard. That would be a West Coast server so run tests to that IP address:

137.221.105.2

Their frequency has reduced but they’re still happening, oddly it seems I am able to move but when I cast an ability everything goes on gcd and freezes with that yellow border on the ability’s icon.

Then I die and I say some really nasty things about Acti… and certain groups of people in chat that I really wouldn’t say otherwise. I’ll upload those MTR logs later I’m just posting this in case anyone else is getting this (I tried disabling all addons, didn’t work).

Ok I think this one might work, it game ran just fine (in a bg) for about 10 mins and then all my bars got frozen for about 8 seconds and died, almost resorted to very nasty Acti… comments in chat but I didn’t this time, hope this log is useful.

I’m also having this issue.
