Re: Serious lag after last game update

@puzzlezaddict 

 I have discovered my issue but i am puzzled on how to 'fully' resolve it

 The frame rate goes to absolute smooth normal when i unplug my internet, it goes imediately to stuttering the second i plug my internet cable back.

note: it continues to stutter if i disable internet features ingame, it only goes to good framerate if I disconnect my entire pc from the internet.

    @Half-rose  Yeah, that's a known issue.  I guess I should have asked, but I was thrown off by the mention of lag, which is usually a system issue separate from the low fps when connected to the internet.

    Unfortunately, there's no reliable fix for this issue.  You could try a different connection, e.g. your phone (using data) as a hotspot rather than your ethernet cable.  That's not a permanent solution, but at least you'd know whether it was a router or ISP issue rather than something with your computer.

    Other than that, people sometimes fix it by reinstalling Windows.  That seems like a huge hassle though, and it's not guaranteed to work.

    Thanks for the update.

     I started checking for simialr issues with the internet and i saw around about reinstalling windows which is, indeed a huge thing to do. Unfortunately my internet situation is not the best, my room doesn't get wifi well it is really unstable hence the use of ethernet. So I suppose I'm sorta stuck on this now until, some other solution gets found.

     but thanks for the assistance, I'll keep looking to see if I can find another solution.

     I fixed my issue

    I'm unsure which of those steps fixed for me, so I'll just list all of them.

    I updated Realtek ethernet drivers, and drivers in general.

    Cleaned any temp files

    scanned system files

    cleaned registry(used CCleaner)

    erased all internet data, aka, cookies, stored files etc

    like i said, I don't know which did(I think it could have been the registry) but whichever was, it fixed the framerate issue

    Note: I ran the cleaner several times to make sure
