Lag spikes every game??

Anyone else experiencing huge lag spikes? Internet speeds are fine, definitely shouldn't be a problem.

If you have a killer Ethernet card please try to follow those instructions :
1- Donwload uninstaller from killer : https://www.killernetworking.com/su [...] taller.exe
2 - In the killer software make a "Scan for installed Killer software" Then"Remove Killer Software" then "Disable killer from Windows update"
3 - Reboot the computer then install the last driver from the INF package directly from the Device Manager https://www.killernetworking.com/ki [...] -downloads . So with the new install you only have drivers installed and not this **** software.

It's 21 July 2019! C'mon guys! I've been upselling Anthem for the last month for all the good things you've done with the game and now your lag issues are back. Game freezes up for about 3 to 4 seconds every 5 minutes or so. Hasn;t been a problem for quite a while now. I've stopped all services in the background, OC'd my graphics card, dropped resolution, switched to medium graphics and YOUR GAME IS STILL lagging. I have no hardware problems and more than enough computer Kick * hardware and internet juice to play this game and you continue to screw things up for the people who want this game to work. It would be nice to get at least a "MOAN" out of you.

I want to take a deeper look into this with you, sounds like you've really been trying to get this fixed for a while now with all the steps you mentioned. Would it be possible tun a UO Trace and attach the results here (or in a DM to me)? Do you have the ports opened for Apex Legends, too? The team is committed to improving the servers and in the meantime we'll continue to help troubleshoot this from our end here to see what we can do to make it more playable for you in game.

Thanks for any help you can provide. I know this stuff can really hit a button at a times when you just want to relax after a long day.

just recently began experiencing this issue. i have been playing since the game released and about two weeks ago i started noticing 5-10 second heavy lag spikes every 1-2 minutes. i was enjoying the game quite a bit but its made it practically impossible to play anymore.

This totally worked for me, my friend suggested that we try turning off discord for a game and guess what, 0 lag spikes and lagging out. Which also made me think, everyone who had addressed the issue had mentioned how their discord ping goes red when this happens. So this made me look up the issue that way and ran into this post 🙂
