Hi,

Since a month or so I'm starting to have frequently returning lag spikes when gaming.
I mainly play CS:GO and when I'm lagging I'm noticing a rising ping (50 to 100 and back) and I'm experience lag. I have no fps drops.
I already tried resetting my router etc, I bought a new PCIe (ASUS PCE-AC68), clean startup (windows 10), checked temperatures, checked for spam, checked the drivers, ... but nothing helps.
In a speedtest I'm having a flat line with +/- 192 Mbit/s but it suddenly drops (every time) and it rises back again. I do have the same speedtest when I'm not gaming btw.

Do you guys have any idea what I'm experiencing? I can't game anymore with this :/
Thanks so much in advance.

Regards,
Niels

Well... I'm not arguing but I'm having the same speed wireless as my friend with cable... with same ISP, same budget... But hey...

By the way I fixed it.

If you have corsair keyboard, headset and using the cue software you might delete the 2 dll's from the map "bearer" since they are causing this issue (it's also confirmed by corsair mods on their forum).
So you have never seen posts that say never play games on wireless because you get random lag spikes.

This is just one of those things you have to accept when you choose to play games on wireless. There is no way to fix it because it is almost always due to interference from outside your house.

Now if you run a ethernet cable and it still does it then maybe there is something you can fix but when you have wireless involved it will hide other issues in the network and you will not be able to easily find them.

Well... It just started about a month ago... I never experienced this in all those years of gaming...
+ I don't have random lag spikes. I have lag spikes every 10-15 seconds so that's not random I guess...
But thanks anyway.
 
Try it on wired and see if it is wireless otherwise you are wasting your time you will never find the problem.

Just because it is not random means nothing really. You could have a neighbor that started running a new program that uploads some files at regular intervals. It can also be weather radar as it sweeps though your house when you run on certain wifi channels.

Pretty much you got lucky for all your years of gaming, trying to using that as a argument to deny wireless is a poor gaming platform is silly.
