Constant Lag Spikes

  • I just bought the game and really enjoyed it for the few hours I played - at least to say I enjoyed the potential the game has to be super fun...

    Anyways, after searching for solutions, this seems to be a problem that has been popping up for 6 years now. Most threads end abruptly with most solutions tell people to check their router and to change network settings.

    This is the only game that this is happening on. I have a great internet connection, so I have to assume that the problem is not on my end.

    My friend's games seem to be working fine, however I experience ping spikes of 350+ every ~20 seconds that last 5-10 seconds. Making the game, for the most part, unplayable.

    Is there any modern, reliable, solution to this issue?

  • Serval patches ago I had simillar problem.

    I used vpn and somehow it cured it. After 2 months and few patches I was frees from lag spikes and I stop using it.

    Maybe use free trial to check it?

    SoT is only game that gives me difrent ping each patch.

    Edit: There was time when my Windows decided to mess up network settings and I was unable to connect to 5g WiFi from my router. So check it too.

  • Unfortunately the VPN did not work.

    It is clearly something with how I am connecting to the servers.

    Using https://www.azurespeed.com/Azure/Latency I am able to see the lag spikes coinciding with my connection to the servers.

    I have no idea how I would go about fixing this, or why it only seems to be happening with me and these servers.

  • You may have a great broadband package with fast speeds but that doesn't mean anything for gaming where the quality of the connection is what matters most!
    Use an Ethernet cable
    Look into port forwarding
    Then you can complain that it's an issue with the game!

  • Nonstop crashes this season too
