Latency (Lat) & Client Frame Time (CFT) Spikes periodically

Just thinking outside the box, I wonder if it could be your own network contributing to the stuttering. I had a similar problem with BFV, and after lots of testing, it turned out that it was my own network and my internet provider that was the culprit. So, this is what I discovered. Firstly, my internet provider was not optimised for gaming latency, so my connection suffered a lot of buffer bloat, I used this website to test my connection, Speed test - how fast is your internet? | DSLReports, ISP Information. I was getting poor connection quality. To fix this I had to buy a new router that offers QoS (Quality of Service) features. I bought a Ubiquiti Edge Max router, it cost like $80 USD. It has a fantastic QoS features and after a few clicks, my buffer bloat was gone! but then I had another problem, our 4k TV was sucking up all the bandwidth in bursts, so when my wife was watching Disney, it would max out the bandwidth in bursts of a few seconds once every 10-20 seconds, so this resulted in ping spikes every 10-20 seconds whilst gaming. I found out that smart TVs tend to use all available bandwidth in bursts, so all I did was limit the bandwidth available to the TV so it could only use about 20% of the available household bandwidth, and it worked, no more ping spikes. I limited the TV to about 20Mbps, leaving the rest of the household with 80Mbps, I have had this setup for about a year, and it works great, I can game with a smooth experience at the same time my wife can stream 4k TV with no issues. Also, I should have mentioned that I connect using ethernet.

What router are you using? do you connect via wi-fi or ethernet?

If your roommate isn't experiencing this issue, it makes think it's not server side. I also don't have this experience. It couldn't hurt to troubleshoot your own setup.

I had a similar problem with BFV a few years ago, turns out it was my own network was issue, I bought a new router, Ubiquiti Edge Max router for about $80 USD, turned on Quality of Service and limited bandwidth of other household devices, and swapped from wi-fi to ethernet. Problem fixed.

Do you connect using wi-fi or ethernet?

what router do you have?

Is anyone streaming on smart TV's whilst your gaming? (smart TV's can use all available bandwidth in bursts)

Hi @Bubby_Bunny, how's your FPS when the lat spiking?
