Constant Latency Variation and Time Nudge
I've seen this posted around quite a bit, with differing solutions each time. All game modes have a constant latency variation and time nudge issue that makes the game feel sluggish. I've attached a...

NameWasWayTooLon thank you for posting the screenshots, they're helpful.
Run a traceroute to the game servers to pinpoint where the latency variation is coming from.
Hi OskooI_007 I was hoping you would want to help with this! Here is the PingPlotter result page: https://share.pingplotter.com/QhJVboqjC6p
If you need a larger sample, or something else for more info - let me know.
NameWasWayTooLon Hop 1 in the traceroute is your home router. It's showing 59% packet loss and ping spikes over 500ms. The home router is causing ping spikes in your gaming.
The way traceroutes work is the lowest number hop showing a problem, affects all the hops that come after it.
Since Hop 1 is showing packet loss and ping spikes, it's going to cause packet loss and ping spikes for all the hops that come after it. Hop 2 thru Hop 10. The game server is basically Hop 10.
We need to troubleshoot why the home router is causing ping spikes. Usually if an ethernet cable is connected to the home router and a PC, the ping time to the home router is 1ms and really steady.
Is the PC connected to wifi or cable ethernet?
OskooI_007 Thanks for deciphering that. PC is connected to cable ethernet via an Orbi mesh system. When I first set the network up, I didn't have any issues at all.
Number of hops seems high to me at 15 although if your passing from country to country then this could be normal. The packet loss along the route is worth questioning. This may be a ISP routing issue. IP lookup the addresses with loss and see who owns them, nothing along the route should be private.
