Re: Severe Server Lag Spikes

@MTCason

There is a connectivity issue occurring between the PC and Router according to that pingplot

If wireless initially try a wired connection and see if it persists.

Below is a pingplot  from australia , compare your asus modem/router (hop1) timings to mine

    I was having the same problems after the 4.1 patch on the Shadowlands server. My game would constantly disconnect and have lags while playing. I tried all of the solutions above suggested by EA Tech Support. However none of those solutions worked. So I remembered I use Windows 10 and Windows 7 desktop themes. I tried to disable all parts of the themes, and discovered something unique. The custom cursors were causing problems in the game. Once I set those cursors back to the default settings, I no longer had server disconnects and lags. It sounds backwards, but just don't use any custom cursors in your Windows 10 or Windows 7 desktop themes and that should solve your problem!

    Can you insert a pingplot image like below, the graph in pingplotter can be saved as a jpg and inserted into a post here

    Best to run the pingplot when the issue is occuring.

    Top one is today, I got a good 30 minutes of play in before the lag cascaded.

    second one is the other day, maybe 5 minutes of play

    Hey mate give these to iinet that looks like a link issue, compare your to mine in this thread both on iinet

    what is bad is the PL% appearing that is packet loss, and the plots suggests it is occurring across the link
