High ping/ spikes and connection lost

[OliveiraptV]

Yesterday i decide to make a trace route cause last few days this is getting worst im using google dns already call my internet provider and they cant do anything about any ideas how to  change route without spending money 😅

@OliveiraptV 

- Are you connected via WiFi or via a Lan cable ?

-     if WiFi  2.4 or 5ghz   

-     Wifi 5 or Wifi 6 

- Do you have the same on other servers as well  ?
- What kind of connection do you have, Cable , Fiber ?  and what speed up and down ? 

- Are your network card drivers updated to the latest ? 

- Desktop or laptop ?

All in all, the traceroute looks okay. Keep in mind that the ping displayed in the scoreboard in ET is considerably lower than the actual ping and also dependent on your framerate and the amount of packets you send to the server (cl_maxpackets).

 

There are two ways you can change the routing of your packets to the server: (1) change the ISP, (2) use a VPN. Option (2) I would discourage because one, your traceroute looks decent, and two, close to all VPNs have far worse routing for gaming than the routing offered by reputable ISPs, and especially free VPNs (higher round-trip times, higher jitter, packet loss).

can i see a screenshot from:

ping b2.clan-fa.com -t

per command prompt?

 

like this:

 

looks like you´re having packetloss during tracert.

The time-outs at hops 3, 4 and 6 most probably happen because the routers at the specific hops are set up to discard and drop incoming ICMP traffic. As a rule of thumb, if packetloss and ping spikes at a specific hop do not carry through to the target destination (final hop) they are irrelevant and an artifact due to how the routers are set up to answer to incoming ICMP traffic (either completely drop it (=> "request timed out") or to treat it with the lowest priority, thus often answering only belatedly (=> ping spike)).

 

In general I would recommend using PingPlotter for monitoring your connection. All the things you can do with PingPlotter you can also do with the command line but interpreting data is a lot easier with corresponding graphs.

Looking at your path to tracert, I guess you used a different method than I do.

 

I enter CMD in the search box on left side of Taskbar, choose 'run as admin' and then enter the tracert command.

 

In that DOS-like window, you can highlight the results, press enter and then paste the results into a file or a post:
