Over the last 2 days, I have been having fluctuating ping from my normal(around 40) to 999. It goes back and forth during game play causing the the game to freeze. It lasts 3-4 seconds, then goes back to normal. I can play normally for a few seconds and it happens again. I have restarted the computer, checked all of my wifi settings, restarted my router and mesh network and none of that has helped. The only variable I can think of is a forced Windows 10 security update installed a few days ago. Any ideas would be helpful! Thanks, NACHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing to consider is your router location and could it be getting hot when playing...Make sure it or they are getting air and not tucked away under/behind something causing excess heat ups...If you are hard wired make sure to keep your ethernet cable away from electric cords... Another thing you could do is run a tracecert using Dos command on the server itself, this will tell you if you are have bad or dead hops inside or outside your provider...You can do this by bringing up "command prompts" and typing in tracert 162.248.95.178....Take a screen shot of what you get and post it here...You may have to run it a few times and find the best and the worst one Here is a picture of the run I just ran @9:25pm EST and HLSW copy of ping activity of the server water teknik and WeednFeed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn dude by that tracert not only are they dropping you on your head they are slamming the door shut...Here is what I would do...Take a few of these test and grab a screen shot odf each (notate time and date of each one)...Then call your provider and explain what you are dealing with...They may suggest you do this and since you have find out if you can email them the results or speak to someone in tech support... "IF" you could hardwire with ethernet it may or may not fix it but looks like you are not leaving their network...When I was down there in Port Deposit Md. my ping on wireless was like 18ms in my hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get what you pay for I guess. GameServers out of Chicago is a much much much better host but they are quite a bit more expencive. I've Never been a fan of NFOservers since they literally ruined my old competitive gaming clan mid season. 6 months of on and off DDOS attacks on our 2 dedicated server boxes mid season after being undefeated for 4 years in BF1942 DC and BF2 would royally piss anyone off.

We owned our own server boxes, so having them host VS renting 2 dedicated boxes off of Chicago Gameservers was much much cheaper. The limitations as far as admin tools,mods ect ect that NFOservers puts on their box rentals is pretty retarded. It's like they know that they have shit bandwidth. Its sad that even after 10+ years NFOservers is pretty much the same bottom of the barrel "Budget Friendly" server host that they were back then. If we would switch over to Chicago Gameservers we would most likely loose all of our Aussies and quite a few people from over the pond due to the higher pings. Can't have that happen. For the past 3-4 weeks? I'm pinging between 48-53ms in our COD4 servers which was normally 29-33ms. Here run tracert on 104.160.131.1 It's a the Valorant game server that my nephew plays on, which is hosted by Chicago Gameservers. I bet you won't get a single funky hop. I'm thinking it is time to ditch NFOservers. There have been a crap pile of new hosts pop up in the last 4-5 years on the east coast. Just have to find an affordable 1 that fits our needs.

About the only thing that they can without using the expensive software that would instantly block the source IPs is to block the IPs manually 1 at a time and/or offer to move the server to a different location and to offer some sort of a refund or credit. That's exactly what the NFOservers boneheads do. They never actually "fix" the problem. If the attacker is behind a VPN they can do absolutely nothing without blocking all Blacklisted ips (VPN IPs are actively flagged by google as blacklisted and very easy to block if you know how.)

I don't know, me and Cheyenne (Europe) have seen our ping doubled at some times/maps(?) last two weeks or so from around 100 to 200. Other peoples pings might have been higher at those times too, but if it was low to begin with, that's less visible. At other nights both our pings have been just normal around 100. Anyways, our ping height has always correlated like that, so it's not our own internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I installed COD4 on another computer connected to the same network (laptop) and don't have the game freezing issues on it. I don't have to be in-game for the freezing to happen. I don't notice any performance issues with the computer outside of COD4. Any ideas? May be time for a new machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your CPU temps? idle/load Never hurts to run "SFC.exe -scannow" from an elevated terminal window to see if there are any issues with system files. Edit: Ahh, I read your message as it stutters at all times... try other full screen games to see if it happens. If only with COD, then fresh install the game and see.
