I tried everything there. Ran the trace tool too both while not playing and while playing and all my ping times increase significantly once as soon as i start an online match. Before starting it my ping times are all low. It only happens while playing battlefield 5 also. Ive played other games online and they dont do this, just BF5 is increasing my ping significantly.

Thanks for the assistance by the way
