Terrible Network Lag Only In An Online Game called Black Desert Online. Things were fine until the recent patch. 2 people on my network play the game. We are both connected via ethernet. All drivers are up to date. Firmware for router is up to date. Game settings are low. We monitor our network traffic by logging into our router and can see the rediculous spike when being in the game. Our network goes from 23 down to 2 down when in the game and is back to normal if we exit the game. I have reintalled the game, made sure no metered connection setting was on, cleared temp files, flushed dns etc.


Thanks for your time,
Danielle

Run tracert and pathping targeting the game site's URL.

The results may provide some insight as to where, along the hops, the lag is occurring.

But do remember that the packets can take difference paths so a few runs will be needed to identify (if possible) some specific bottleneck.

Check the game's website FAQs and Forum. May be some questions and posting regarding the recent patch. Might have some bug therein.
