Hello.
I hope some of you can help me identify my problem. Since this saturday I have been experiencing generally high in game latency and heavy lag spikes (2-5 seconds at a time).
Been playing from this same location for the past 6 years, with the same fiber internet connection (1000/1000mbit), same ISP. Wired connection at home, all the way to my netcard.
A traditional speed test shows no signs of problems (~900/900mbit with 4-5ms up- and download latency)
I have tried changing the ISP router to a new one, flushed DNS, released and renewed IP, ran a scan and repair of WOW, disabling all addons, deleting the cache-, interface- and wtf-folders, lowering the graphics settings. Nothing helped.
While running a dungeon with friends, who live in the same town as me, speaking on discord where there is no lag at all while speaking, and still experience several seconds lag spikes.
I tried to run a WinMTR, ping routing test to the 3 servers recomended in EU. See results below. Im not an expert in interpretation these, any feedback is welcome. I can only see that one of the hops have a severe latency and packet loss, but I have no idea of this being ISP or “Blizzard” related.
I only experience this lag in WOW.
Last solution seems to run a 3rd party VPN software. Im not a big fan of this solution + having to pay an additional subscription to be able to play a game makes very little sense to me.
The game is really not worth playing at the moment. Hope you can help me shed some light on this. Thank you in advance.
