Heavy packet loss

★★★ Novice

Im having heavy constant packet loss in games recently. It appears to be happening randomly by game, happening much more oftenly on ranked matches making it unplayable. 

 

Other games work fine. Conducted internet, and ping test as well as a packet loss test on cmd by pinging google and non of them have any issues.

 

This started 2 days ago.

I think I fixed this, it was a discord option that seemed to be lagging me out sometimes. I didn't have to be in any voice channels on discord for this to happen.

 

Specifically it was the "quality of service high packet priority" option in discord settings causing this issue. I just played about 10 games in a row without a problem.

 

Best of luck.
