Crazy lag spikes while playing apex

These ping spikes (only 10-20ms) cause frame drops/small freezes throughout my whole pc while playing apex, it is very annoying and distorts all pc audio including discord and freezes/stutters my youtube on second monitor as well as the game. Not only is this happening but i am also disconnecting from matches or simply not loading into them, i am always returned to the lobby, kicked from my party and hit with a code:leaf timed out screen. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING in terms of software troubleshooting but i am coming to the conclusion that my motherboard must be broken. Pls reply if you have or have had this issue so i know its not a hardware issue.

  • Just FYI: had some issues similar to this - unstable ping, huge jitter (usually 0 or very close to that), dropping frames (from 200+ to 120) in Valorant.

    Also tested my ping in various other servers - same thing, jitter, unusually high ping.

    Maybe it was again something global or at least relevant for EMEA (if you are form Europe).

    It was temporary from approx. 16:00-18:00 UTC+3.

    :D well I guess you can google or if possible just pingtest your connection via wifi and then via plugging network cable straight into PC/console.

    Short answer is - yes. And I would bet my money your issues are coming at least 50%+ from this factor alone :)

    Only one worse case I have heard over the years = people playing FPS competitive games via hotspot on mobile phone :D
