Re: Extreme Packet Loss
@CLB_QuayNoid set your video resolution game to a basic one (low end) and low quality settings

- @OttoVP I am playing at the lowest possible settings available without using any mods
- @CLB_QuayNoid lol i wrote an extended post and my connection reset.
So:
1st try: update your modem/router firmware: my asus n55 went bonkers when i switched to fiber (100mb/s to 1000mb/s) and did not digest heavy packet traffic. So i bought a google mesh and all went fine.
Many older modem/routers have flaws in their firmwares: i noticed many asus modems have a botnet installed maliciously via a fw flaw putting their cpu at 100% all time and resulting in lag.
2nd: are you connecting via ethernet cable or wifi? which dns are you using? try 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and disconnect any other device on your lan and try gaming
3rd: did you try swapping your router? what are your ping status via speedtest or any reliable testing site for ISP rating?
many games do not require much network traffic but fps DO require many "hertz" to keep your pc and server in sync status => read: more packets more infos more accuracy
can you try swapping with another router/modem?
let's fix this!

I'm available through private message! IT/EN - @OttoVP So I did a speed test and got a ping of 27, download speed of 11.37 mbps, and an upload speed of 8.54, which isn't great, but doesn't make any sense since I can run bf1, bf4 and Apex with no problem what so ever. Currently Im in a match with absolutely no loss in or out, which is strange. But if I leave the match to go to another, the packet loss spikes again.
- @CLB_QuayNoid which region is the server you're playin in?
- @OttoVP NA, I also tried the router reset and used the google dns 8.8.8.8, and 8.8.4.4
- @CLB_QuayNoid i'd point it to an ISP problem who's routing packets in a weird way, you could check using your 4g tethering from mobile phone and check if this is true. I'd like to say your ISP connection isn't very powerful :'( Bf4 EA and private servers have different locations and server farms) apex too.
Mind giving a call to your ISP and check your connectivity and packet loss status/SNR noise margin?
tell me if you need further help mate. i'm sorry i can't help you more

I'm available through private message! IT/EN - @OttoVP I tried tethering and the same issue came up. I live in a dorm so I can't really contact my ISP
@CLB_QuayNoidhello again
this explains it all....
you're under a LAN proxied (with a proxy trasparent or not) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server) so your packets are filtered and routed via a miriad of apparates which slow every transmission.
Other users activity will affect your network experience.
Any college has these apparates and you aren't fully connected to the net but exposed via a firewall (very bland indeed since you're still able to play). You can't do anything apart getting a 4g mobile connection and play with tethering
hope this clarify your situation
i hope i helped you and mark it solved if so and give xp if you want
if you need further help just ask
OttoVP- @OttoVP im still confused on how i am still able to play certain matches with no loss all if I'm still LAN proxied
@CLB_QuayNoidsome games are using different network bandwidth, port ranges and ip ranges (different remote server location for heartbeat). simple as that 🙂
i hope i helped you and mark it solved if so and give xp if you want
if you need further help just ask
