It kinda calmed down for me only to spike just now again. I had a quiet hour of farming wqs and now its unplayable again
You wonât fix it the normal way, the only way is with a VPN. Weâve been struggling with this and Blizzardâs useless support since Dragonflight Season 3. We burned a lot of keys until we discovered the fix. I just came into this thread installing a VPN in the middle of it because we started having problems again and wanted to see if it was just maybe temporary. January 2024 was the worst because you got 30-60 lag every 15-30 minutes.
Generally at one point me, my Polish friends (each with a different provider) started having it again too. At exactly the same time there were threads not only in the European forum but in the American and Portuguese subforums. The response from support and MVPs was always just that it was the ISPâs fault xD. Never mind that people all over the world started posting topics about the same thing AT THE SAME TIME no matter where they live - Usa, Brazil, Spain, Germany. By the fact that Blizzard forum has a lot of subforums so there isnt big single technical problems thread, they wrote on each of them that the problem is local and affects only minority of players xddd.
Funniest of all, in other thread about this problem from a few days ago I see the same person who wrote in every possible thread the same thing a year ago - itâs a problem on your side. I remember posting him links from other regions and begging to stop doing offtop in thread xd.
Also interesting fact: if you died during lag, you can freely move while everyone see running/jumping dead corpse.
I was online from about 4pm yesterday and not once did my latency spike. I thought OMG the maintenance maybe did something but lo and behold one day later the issue is back.
This problem has been on some servers for 2 monthsâŚ
I am from Ukraine. I have the same problem. Dying in raids because of it.

I am also dealing with this problem. It gotta be blizzard and their servers, because the problem doesnât occur with other websites etc. Seems like blizz doesnât care.

Hello! Same issue here since 11.0.5 patch. During evenings (EU time), latency goes from regular 20ms to 100+ms, very noticable delay on spells and stuff.
Seems to be mitigated with VPN? But there are still 1-3 second âlag spikesâ even during non-prime hours (when latency is regular 20ms). Where you press a spell and nothing happens for like 1-3 seconds.
When tracert pinging via CMD during high latency hours, there is a clear problem with similar internet nodes like those posted in this thread.
Another thing, when I launch Apex Legends during high latency hours, the LONDON server goes to 100+ms ping and there is chance you can get 100+ms latency lobbies, but switching servers around are highly likely to get a regular 20ms server. Seems to be also mitigated with VPN (when switching to VPN, LONDON server goes to 20ms regular again).
Where lies the issue? Iâm just chiming in to help Blizzord notice this, thanks!

I hope that somebody from CS will reply to this, because the game becomes unplayable.
Sometimes it even doesnât matter what time of the day it is. I can ping literally every website and have ms in normal range, unless I ping eu.battle.net and then all the âfunâ with over 100 ms starts.

I have the same problem. Iâve been fighting with Blizzard support for almost a week, but they always say that everything is fine with them and itâs my connection or ISPâs fault. MTR clearly shows that the problem is with Blizzard servers which lose 20% of ping, but it does not reach. I only get stupid advice about restarting the router and renewing the IP. Iâm waiting for them to tell me to check if my router is turned onâŚ

brother in what world does war have anything to do with a wow server in another country that isnt affected by the war?
Dont say stupid things, please be so kind. There is no way russians (which are also lagging btw according to some of my friends) have anything to do with blizzards infinite retardation in terms of server maintaining and routing issues.

same here. latency / ping shows 30ms for both world and home in switzerland, but every big bg is like 1-3 seconds of lag! despite high fps. and even during these second lags the home/world shows 30ms lol thatâs 100 times more. happened since 3-4 weeks.
blizzard fix it, itâs embarrassing. the lag within.

Just a heads up for those who was playing just fine before this week - check if you are a) on a laptop b) using an Intel WiFi network card c) got a recent driver/Windows update.
It seems that I was affected by this, and changing some driver features in the Device Manager helped me to fix the latency problem.
I think it did the trick.
Now got 109ms Home and 13ms World. And btw, not using a laptop but a desktop, after downloading and installing the update from 01-10-2024.
Edit: Things didnât change at all, i was playing this evening with 12 a 13ms for like 10 min. And here we go again⌠back to 1000+ms! Blizzard fix your f-in sht!

Massive overworld lag. Ingame ping shows under 5 ms. Doing a tracert I get every hop under 5 ms until it reaches the Blizzard server, then it skyrockets into multiple hundreds of ms.

Can confirm.
Dornogal have massive Input Lags since 11.0.5 despite sitting at 21ms Home and World Latency.
Sure love me logging in at prime time to play with my friends to a 3k world ms and 20 home ms 
Just playing RL, was at 22 ping.
Upd. Yeah, its just wow. 19-22 ping thro the hour of playing RL with no issues. Wow is stuck at 200-400 ping, spiking back and forth.
today, 5-10 sec lag in epic bgs, still random lag spikes of 1-2 secs in dornogal. tried with 10 different nordvpn servers throughout europe, tried adjusting dns servers, reinstalling game, tried it on a mac and pc. itâs a bloody pathetic blizz issue. us servers complain too. they messed up their code. FIX IT BLIZZARD
