Not sure what to do.

Packet loss isnt the problem, I use the same ethernet cord on the same wifi and connect to a different pc. Only for the games and apps to work flawlessly. With the new computer, I only have a few games and a couple software programs on it I decided to go ahead and reinstall windows. So far the black desert online game is the only thing I am currently downloading and the patcher seems to be working fine. But I will update when the game fully installs. It still has 40% and 5 hours to go as my download speed is not good.

Only running the windows static firewall and antivirus and prior to reinstalling windows.. I deactivated them both just for a few minutes to test the game to no avail. After the reinstallation of windows however, I redownloaded the game and everything so far seems to be running beautifully. My guess is maybe some damaged windows files.

I actually ran the sfc /scannow command and it came back as everything was perfectly fine. I have this topic on another forum as well and here is what someone said over on the bdo forum...

Neither of those steps worked, also I could use a different pc with the same ethernet cord connected to the same internet modem and the game would run perfectly so the internet is stable. After trying so many things, I decided that since I only have but a few programs installed on this new pc I would go ahead and reinstall windows10. After the win10 reinstall, I installed bdo.. and the game is running better then I've ever seen before. My guess is some damaged windows files.

Just figured I would post this just incase it helps someone, doubt it will. But maybe.

I can assure you this was not likely a Windows fault, especially if you didn't experience it with other games or application software. 

It is indeed entirely the fault of Wellbia, the developer of Xigncode. Not PA, and not Kakao. Wellbia's Xigncode software has been unstable for months now, and they aren't doing some very basic things a good developer does (as noted below).

The likely reason why it works after the reinstall, is because Xigncode has been essentially neutered by your reinstallation of Windows 10. There are a lot of technical weeds to that explanation that I won't go into it here, but it's actually a security feature in Windows called driver signature enforcement that is saving your sanity right now. 

Evidence: If you look in your Windows event logs (under system and audit), you'll likely see entries like the following:

Security log (keywords = audit failure):

Code:

Code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid. The file could be corrupt due to unauthorized modification or the invalid hash could indicate a potential disk device error. File Name: \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\xhunter1.sys

System log (should have the same timestamp as the audit failure, severity = error, source = service control manager):

Code:

The xhunter1 service failed to start due to the following error: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.

That xhunter1 file is the aforementioned Xigncode driver. Long story short, their Xigncode driver is not properly digitally signed and therefore, your new install of Windows is operating under more recent driver signature rules that are stopping it from loading, and by extension it's also keeping Xigncode from crashing your game now.

Thank a Microsoft developer today, if you know one. 

Will do, thank you.
