500ms inside pvp maps is kittening unplayable.
I also noticed weird lag spikes during matches yesterday (so i didn’t queue anymore), similar to delays you get when 3 zergs meet in wvw. According tracert/pingplotter it was on NCSOFT side (spikes were on last hop).
This kitten’s been happening all over the game, including WvW. And WvW always lag, but not this bad.
I had this issue about a month ago, as soon as I entered a pvp game my ping jumped to anywhere between 400 and 2000.
Im sitting on a 1Gbit dual way fibre line so that shouldn’t have been an issue.
I looked around for solutions and I actually came up with one that worked for me. Go into “Run” Services.msc and disable the automatic windows updater. This is what consumed about 80% of my CPU and RAM whenever I entered the pvp ips. For whatever reason.
