Re: Continuous packet loss
@cnasticI had a similar issue on PC. I found that the problem was caused by the default packet size set in Windows. Your MTU value may be too large which does not affect most internet activities but can cause packet loss issues on critical internet activities such as playing Apex.
Try the following (read all the steps first before you do anthing)
- Open cmd as admin and type netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces
- Check the number on the same line as your network adpater (Ethernet/Wi-FI), usually its 1500
- If its not 1500, change it to it because its the most accurate baseline. You can do this by using netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface “Name of Adapter” mtu=1500 store=persistent (Name is under Interface of the first command)
- Now, to find your optimal MTU value follow the steps in this article https://hide.me/en/knowledgebase/how-to-find-correct-mtu-values/ I've added a summary below:
netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces ping www.google.com -f -l 1500 (keep lowering 1500 until you have no losses) netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface “Name of Adapter” mtu=(number) store=persistent
- Next, add 28 to your optimal MTU value and update your MTU to this using the command netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface “Name of Adapter” mtu=(number) store=persistent
- Once that's set you can go ahead and type netsh winsock reset and netsh int ip.
You could also restart Windows, which shouldn;'t be required but it will definately result in a full refresh of the network settings, so just a mention
