Re: [Help!] Consistent Packet Loss (Intermittent)

@Enlight369 you have your drive full. There's just about 10% free space.

An issue I ran into with youngtree's pc, was that he was filling his dell sd up. He only has a small sd drive for system stuff and a 1T HD for data. If you are running everything on 1 HD, then fragmentation can also be a problem.

As your drive is over 75% full, these are simple  things I would  do:

Get a seperate drive for other stuff. Main drive for windows and games, programs only. 

I moved the windows system page filing to a seperate small drive 100 gig. 

Nvidia cashe dumps can be enormous, esp the DX cashe. I just delete all but the most recent every now and then.

Users/name/appdata/local/nvidia

Ccleaner for cleaning up the drive and registry (free)

Windows disk cleanup to get rid of old Windows update files.

To defragment (only for HD not for sd drives) defraggler. Defragmenting can really speed things up, esp if you have been doing a lot of games dl and delete, rince repeat. 

I defrag files only monthly then complete defrag of drive every 4 months or so. (free)

Also system/storage can show more categories, can show you where things are clogging the drive. Esp apps and features. A real culprit here for us was the clip champ app (save anything you need here and reset the app to get rid of bloat) and old windows installation files.

Restore points might also be taking up unnecessary space. 

Another issue was: in a windows update my son's pc HD was reset to sleep after 20 min, crashing apex consistantly. I put it back as I previously had it to never sleep and all was well.

Temperature may be another issue. I use Speccy to keep an eye on my laptop temp, windows 10 dosnt give that specific info. It's free too

If temp is an issue clean the fans and make sure there's plenty of ventilation.

See what's starting at startup and reduce it down to only what's necessary. 

I appreciate the response, and I did end up clearing up space on my hard drive, thank you for the recommendation.

I have tried many apex servers, the packet loss applies to all of them. And will strangely recommend me to 300 ping servers because the packet loss is so bad on all local near by servers.

graphics have nothing to do with network packet loss. I am ok with my current setup (12900K i9 & RTX 3090)

As previously mentioned, I have contacted the ISP, and they say everything is good on their end. They even had techs come out testing the coaxial 

@xEnlightx if its not you isp and all servers are the same for you, although there is no server issues atm on the downdetectors, that would point me towards your machine setup or hardware. 

For some reason I always get recommended to the Belgium servers, despite London being a lower ping and geographically closer, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Gaphics may have a bit to do with it if they are slowing your cpu down, and you aren't utilising the gpu. 

PS did you defragment your HD (not SD) after clearing the space. Windows has one installed already. 

Pps 😃 is there anything else using your network? Might be worth checking if its only your machine, what your machine is using is the same as what your isp is clocking ip.
