lag spike while fighting

Hello,

In the past 3 weeks or so I started having extreme, instant lag spikes only when fighting. at first I thought it was a frame drop or something but then I started recording and saw that neither my frames drop, nor does the latency increase. Needless to say this has caused me great frustration and of course I lose many many fights. What's happening? https://streamable.com/35qw2q for the exact problem

    Hi @D1malvel

    Have you tried switching to any other datacenters to see if you notice a difference? Are you still seeing the same lag spikes? 

  • thank you for your reply! I changed from London to Amsterdam but it's still doing exactly the same issue. It's very strange. Did you manage to see the video on the link?

    @D1malvel 

    I did see the video. Thanks for including that.

    It doesn't look like the ping is spiking or anything around the time the lag is happening either. Can we try out some other troubleshooting steps to see if we can solve this? 


    When you have the chance I'd recommend starting out with the basic and advanced connectivity steps from the EA Help website. If you're still having any lag or other issues after that please let me know. 

    Thanks!
