Time Nudge still a thing
Since the other threads keep getting closed (one went 104 pages!), I assure you its still a thing. With a ping of 27m/s, and watching the TN hover around 11, then shoot up to over 200 while my game j...

Community Manager@arcadeuxe, I don't believe that there are specific changes in Update 3.2 that are related to TN. But you never know.
I've been getting these issues since S3 too.
Tried all pc drivers, bios, reinstalled game etc.
I'm running a couple of Deco Mesh M5 things, which if I remove, seems to sort my issue. With them in the network, I get 5-10 spikes a game, fps drops by 30 ish, TN spikes to the top of the chart for a second.
Take them out, played for hours without a single drop or spike.
I had them in since launch, so no idea why it would be an issue now. And clearly isn't going to be everyone's issue. I would imagine in the 'performance improvements' Dice changed the way something is handled, which is causing the TN issue.
5900X, 3080, 32GB. Capped at 141 for Gsync.
- @EA_Leeuw I'm no expert. But if there is a delay on data (ie traffic handling or whatever) , could that not make my pc wait? Which would manifest as TN on the graph?
I can reproduce the test over and over, day after day. So I don't think it's placebo at all. It might not be everyone's problem or solution. But it is for me.
So unless the Deco are somehow making my pc have an issue? Either way, I don't get the fault with the Deco removed.
I've had the issue for months, every game I've played. I have over 1000hrs, I play a lot! I've removed Decos, and not had the issue once since. If I put them back to router mode, issue returns every game again.
I will clarify, the Decos are now in AP mode. So they aren't routing traffic, just extending WiFi. When I get the issue, the Decos are in router mode. - EA_Leeuw@I_R0M_I, yeah, the TN is indeed a 'compensating' value of some sort. I don't 100% know how it works, but it should have something to do with your CPU needing to 'overcompensate' for the gameplay.
Of course could it be the case, in your situation, that the Deco's are causing something (in your network), which eventually results in a high TN on your end.
Did you already check if there are any firmware updates available for your Deco's by any chance? - @EA_Leeuw Yeah, it's done it over multiple different firmwares.
I noticed it after a game patch. That's when it started. So I just assumed it was a game issue.
I tried everything, updated all bios, chipset, gpu, cpu etc etc. Reinstalling the game.
A friend said to try tethering my mobile data, and play on that. I did, and got no fps drops.
So that lead me to thinking it was my ISP. Last thing I tried was removing the decos, and that fixed it.
Like I said, I can reproduce the fault by refitting the Decos.
It's very odd, doesnt really make sense. But I don't really know about TN etc. I m just happy I have a fix for me at least 🙂
