Random High Latency Spikes

Hi, I started playing the new season on and off since Saturday and have been for experiencing random high latency spikes throughout the weekend and today.

Normally latency is between 40 to 60ms (according to the in game value) and it stays in this range most of the time. However whilst playing over the last few days, i’ve been getting huge spikes in latency where the game becomes unrepsonsive until the spike is over and the game is able to catch up with itself.

Below is my WinMTR trace which shows one of the latency spikes that i got whilst playing today:

I played for a bit just before the end of last season to complete the season journey and did not experience any issues with latency at all.

Thanks

It is a long term issue with D3. The only straightforward method of resolving, or at least lessening the lag problem, is switching from bit 64 to bit 32 from the BNET app
