Anyone having crazy network spike issues?

31

Basically as the title states. I have a decent PC, RTX4080, i914900k, 32gb DDR5, SSD etc. performance wise the game runs at 140+ fps with everything on max and is generally smooth as butter.

A new issue has popped up where my connection MS - which usually sits at about 14ms, is just relentlessly ping ponging up to 300+ then back down. Sometimes it spikes up to over 20k ms and kicks me out of the game. It's completely unplayable at the moment, I keep dying because I physically can't react to what happens in game as it is just constantly slideshowing. My characters just teleporting across the screen and freezing etc.

I have tried numerous fixes I've read others have recommended, Including:

  • Disable DLSS
  • Triple buffering off/on
  • Virtually every single graphics setting tweaked
  • Disable reverb/Low channel count in sound
  • Altering the connection type in the config file
  • Static IP
  • Reboot Router and PC multiple times
  • Both 2.4 and 5ghz connections
  • DX11/12 and Vulkan tried
  • Deleted Shader Caches
  • Verified integrity of game files
  • Reinstalled game
  • Switched servers (same ping pong no matter where I connect to)
  • Increased Shader Caches size
  • Disabled overclocking
  • Disabled all overlays
  • Updated GFX drivers
  • Updated BIOS
  • Updated windows

I've probably done even more I can't honestly remember, all to no avail. This has been going on over 24h now, games at 150+ fps but lagging like crazy and unplayable. It started in a trial of Chaos and has been stuck like this ever since. Has anyone else got/had this issue and if so, did you find a solution? At my wit's end with all the tweaking now I just want to get back to gaming.

Cheers gamers !

While experiencing the same issue, I connected to one of the servers in a European country via VPN and tried it that way. I couldn't believe it, but the problem was resolved. The VPN I used was the free one that comes with Kaspersky Premium.

I normally just go to the log in screen and change the server I'm connecting too and it fixes the problem.
