hellooo can you press win + r and type msinfo32 and send me a screenshot? and also what isp are you using, what country are you currently based/in and what severs do you play on?
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
i have ethernet but im using virgin media and i play on london/paris servers most of time ok
lyra
lyra2mo ago
and you are based in the UK I assume?
S_8713

S_87132mo ago
i think another guy before asked to see this and told me to install some network drivers didnt work
lyra
lyra2mo ago
ah okay nvm then are you using a dns?
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
nope but bro my speed internet is like 350 now that i got hard wired internet and i get this every second in game its unplayable
lyra
lyra2mo ago
do you know how to add one?
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
nope what do dns's do?
lyra
lyra2mo ago
1. Open “Control Panel” and navigate to “Network and Sharing Center”. 2. Click the active network connection. 3. In the new window, click “Properties”. 4. Click “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”, then navigate to “Properties.” send me a screenshot

click on "Use the following DNS server addresses" then on "Preferred DNS server" add 8.8.8.8 and on "Alternative DNS server" add 8.8.4.4
S_8713

Ok then what What does that do @lyra

will this fix my jitter problems
me
me2mo ago
Changing your DNS settings will have no effect whatsoever on your packet latency in the game.
lyra
lyra2mo ago
it might it can help improve jitters as a DNS can provide a better "path" but it won't change RTT
me
me2mo ago
DNS has nothing to do with routing. It simply gives the client metadata on a domain name. Unless Valorant is doing something terribly weird, DNS lookups happen pretty infrequently if at all during the game. Network protocols like BGP help to determine the path to a destination. But these aren't protocols within ur control. They're closer toward the Internet than ur LAN.
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
@me how do I fix the problems I am having bro
me
me2mo ago
How is the latency toward your gateway? (You can find your gateway's address by opening a command prompt and running route PRINT. Your default gateway will be the IP address in the Gateway column of the the tables for the 0.0.0.0 or ::/0 destinations. Do not paste the output of this command. Once you have this default gateway, you can ping it using ping GATEWAY_ADDRESS.) ^ just replace GATEWAY_ADDRESS with the IP address of your gateway. While trying to figure out the issue, you want to try to measure latency towards Riot's servers, starting at the hop between your PC and your router. If this latency is consistent, then you may need to contact Riot or your ISP for further help.
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
@me sorry I was asleep @me how do I interpret the results?
lyra
lyra2mo ago
yeah, ment it that a DNS will have the address with the right conf, while the isp's DNS might be configured wrong and start making trouble mb
lyra
lyra2mo ago
after the ping command you will get something that looks like this

lyra
lyra2mo ago
it shouldnt affect the results
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
Okay Then what do I do I emailed riot support but they didn’t respond yet
me
me2mo ago
Hey. If the ping to your gateway has low latency (less than 1ms always) you'll want to contact Riot support with this and the graphs in-game and details on your ISP. They'll be able to give you further things to try to help narrow down the problem. If the latency to your gateway is all over the place, you'll need to figure out why. There are sometimes network engineers who hang around here who can also help.
lyra
lyra2mo ago
you could also try port forwarding
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
do you know of any who could help? Because this issue isn’t going away the game is unplayable @lyra @me

@lyra I’m just driving home I’ll message you when I’m at my pc oki?
lyra

aight i will still show the steps then after it you will write ping 192.168.1.1 -n 60 (192.168.1.1 should be changed to your actual gateway ip)

S_8713
S_87132mo ago
can you just help me understand
iyda
iyda2mo ago
Specifically VirginMedia has pretty shit routes for Valorant meaning bad ping
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
so my wifi speed has nothing to do with my network RTT?>
lyra
lyra2mo ago
correct
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
why i tp every second and cant even move or equip gun
lyra
lyra2mo ago
unless you got like 5mbps
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
because when i press tab, it says my PING is like 23 its this that spikes
iyda
iyda2mo ago
It's literally just a virgin media issue with routing on valorant You need to use something like Exitlag or some VPN to fix it since VirginMedia's routes are poop
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
okay let me try this exit lag thing one sec is it safe and free
iyda
iyda2mo ago
it is paid btw i just want to see if it fixes the issue (IT HAS A FREE VERSION) There is a free version for 7 days just wanna see if the issue fixes Yep it's safe i've used it before for testing on valorant
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
Ok im downloading the free one was we speak one second bro
iyda
iyda2mo ago
Okei
S_8713

@lyra btw u want the txt file or is this ok
lyra
lyra2mo ago
thats okay switch isp 👍
iyda
iyda2mo ago
Without you needing to literally pay for it If it works then you can do 1 or 2 things 1. Contact virgin media and say the routes for valorant are bad and causing spikes in latency 2. Just buy exitlag it's cheap and virginmedia support is booty

Yeh pretty sure ur ISP is just got really shit routing for valorant If you want to anydesk i can have a look :shrug_weeb: but i'm 90% sure it's an ISP issue which in that case you can call them and bully them about it 60% sure nothing will happen they will get a tech to ur house and he will sayblah blah blah yap yap no issues or something or "we will check it" and then nothing happens

Recall the earlier chat. If the latency to your gateway is perfect, your next step would be to contact Riot or your ISP. Unless something's really misconfigured in your house, there isn't much you or anyone here can do to improve things if that hop is solid. If you LAN isn't solid, then your ISP and Riot will ask you to improve this before doing much.

me2mo ago
It's unlikely there's something in your house that selectively affects traffic to Riot's network. It could be something beyond your gateway. It may be worth opening a ticket with Riot support just to understand how to measure latency to Riot servers near you. If this latency is all over the place, you should have enough to talk to your ISP. They also may be able to contact ur ISP on ur behalf. The unfortunate thing about large ISPs is; well, their customer support isn't there to help people with problems like this. But you gotta be persistent.

me2mo ago
Nonetheless these are the next steps. If the ISP can't help narrow down the issue (u should just be able to mention riots network and they'll know what to do; it's large enough) you gotta work with Riot to help you run diagnostics that prove there's an issue. If the ISP still doesn't give a shit, it's time to switch ISPs if possible. But Riot may be able to reach out to the ISP if there's a peering issue or whatever. These sorts of reach outs are hard tho, as some ISPs don't care about things like latency or packet loss. As long as there's sub 100% packet loss to destination some ISPs high five each other and close cases.
iyda
iyda2mo ago
It isn't Riot directly as i just said The issue is just the ISP It happens with every service It's just more noticiable on something that requires stable connection/ping

me2mo ago
Damn. This is tough, then. Maybe something affecting the neighborhood, but the ISP doesn't care.
It could help to run smokeping or something similar and send them a comparison between latency to ur gateway and to various destinations over time. This actually worked for me with my ISP. I had crazy latency spikes to Google and Cloudflare (and all destinations) every evening. Until I provided them metrics they didn't care. Then they found it was broken network equipment and fixed things up and even refunded half a month's service. Back to stable 2ms ping to these destinations (but still dozens of ms to Riot 😢 ).
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
They told me to wait 48 hours and monitor if the fixes they made work So calling back won’t do anything
me
me2mo ago
☝🏻 escalating is the only way besides cancelling.
iyda
iyda2mo ago
Just keep calling them every 2 days and annoy them to fix it If they are unable to change ISP
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
What does running smokeping mean and comparing latencies? Yeah I will again in 2 days and escalate it However is there any short term solutions you guys can suggest so I can play the game
me
me2mo ago
It's just a program that measures latency and graphs it. But if you're just running ping and the rtt is all over the place all the time that should be enough. I wouldn't wait the two days tho. Just call them whenever you want an update and escalate it if it's not fixed. There really isn't anything short term, unfortunately. What's happening is out of your control. If you're rubber banding, you could try turning up the network buffering (in the General settings in the game) but it won't really fix your latency issues. It'll just cause other problems.
iyda
iyda2mo ago
BRO Listen already IT IS UNRELATED TO VALORANT He has the packet loss outside of valorant completely Please read context of the ticket before posting random stuff we already figured out :thumbs_up:
me
me2mo ago
The network buffering setting can help improve things if there's packet loss or jitter. But it just won't fully resolve the issue and will cause other issues (now your inputs will be delayed reaching the server, and those larger packets may be dropped, causing other issues). And I gave it a read. We all know the root cause is within their ISP's control and they need to escalate. gl tho.

It’s honestly really bad Unplayable at this point Which I could find a short term solution I have 200 minimum, peek 1000 I can’t even move or equip my gun I tp everywhere I mean all they say is “reset your router/hub” or “plug the cable in and out” Nothing to help the routing Or the spiking They don’t underhand the speed isn’t the problem It’s the network rtt

So what is the route cause and if so how can we see it plain blank like via a test?
lyra

the cause of your problem is that the ISP you are using provides a sub optimal route for a packet
S_8713

Is there any network test we can perform to show that especially for valorant or shall I just send the email off

I'd change provider if i was you. to something provided by Openreach such as BT EE Vodafone etc Or hyperoptic if it exists You might lose the Speed being 300mbp/s to be like 70/20mb but you'd have like 20ping constantly so.

I just ended the chat Documented it just in case I’m just at the gym rn can you guide me through the process how to do this smoothly in about 2 hours? @lyra you recon it would be worth trying with another agent or calling them again or not? Val support didn’t help either tbh, they just copy and pasted their “solution” word for word they sent me 4 weeks ago; exactly word for word. (Just typing in those ipconfig commands and disabling ipv6.) I told them to read the document and look at the traceroutes and then they stopped responding to the tickets lol Yeah I guess so. @lyra look at this

S_8713
S_87132mo ago
It’s the one that valorant support told me to trace it on
me
me2mo ago
It's an IP in Riot's network. They wanted them to graph latency towards their game servers. Their game servers don't respond to pings, but it will show the latency to the closest peer. I think you've reached the point where you need to contact your ISP and let them know that you're paying for consistent latency. Depending on the ISP, they'll either help you out (and refund you for time that you've been observing issues) or; you gotta find an alternative.
jidat
jidat2mo ago
Hm i wonder if u can file a complaint against ur isp if they don't do shit
Jimz
Jimz2mo ago
This is shows your latency has a very high variance/jittter, even on your first hop the difference between the lowest possible ping (7.7ms) and your average (32.7ms) is huge. What type of internet services are you using from VM (is it wireless internet ie 4G/5G/LTE)?

okay because im getting the same issue again it was fine yesterday and day before but suddenly happened all day today should i just go for it and switch ISP today
me
me2mo ago
If this is important to you, and since they're not helping, you should definitely let them know you'll be switching if this isn't fixed and then find alternatives. As long as there's no wireless or cellular stuff between you and ur ISP, there's not much u can do beyond what you've done.
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
wdym by this? it is broi cant even play the game due to the constant spikes i mean look at that traceroute
me
me2mo ago
Just mean as long as it's wired to ur ISP modem or router, and ur not on a cellular/wireless plan with ur ISP, it's time to switch. You've done a lot to give them a chance to fix things.
S_8713
S_87132mo ago
Alright, but wouldnt it mean me setting all this up again

Not 100% necessary, but do you have another ethernet cable readily available try using? If you do, trying a different cable will help cross that off the list.

Pretty sure the issue comes from his ISP it's self as when i was on his PC he had packet loss even to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8. Seems like a routing issue or maybe the Router has some issue.

Valorant as a game is more latency sensitive since we run the servers at a higher tick rate. You have a variance of 37-424ms inside VM's network. It's time to try another provider
S_8713
S_87135w ago
That’s one lucky trade route my others show on average 70-900

Actually hold off on trying to switch providers. I think I know what's wrong with Virgin Media (they may have issues with one of their upstream providers) Let me reach out to them one more time, see if they would respond

I know it's frustrating, but hijacking another thread is not cool. The situation there is simply we don't control the network all the way there. Riot does not have any presence or influence over those providers. If you want a quick fix, I'd recommend you to use a VPN provider, so you can change how your traffic routes to Riot without waiting for the Internet to change.
