Asterisks in same places in almost any tracert, problems in games

[lashamerkvilson]

Hello everyone.
I'm experiencing issues with my network in games. So, i have problem cause of which i keep disconnecting in league/hearthstone and other games. it is happening at least once in every 10 minutes. but sometimes will happen every 3-4 minutes. I contacted my ISP, they said that everything is fine from their side.. Contacted League of Legends support, they said that they can't help.. I'll attach tracert to some game game servers

You may be getting intermittent packet loss which will not show up on tracert.

Asterisks mean very little as long as the connection works. It means that the router in the path is configure to not respond to tracert or ping. The first trace is a firewall blocking the response from routers/devices that are behind it.

Your best bet is to do this manually. Open a bunch of cmd windows and let ping run continuously to various hops in the trace. When you see issues in the game check to see which ping windows show something different.

You need to kinda hope that the problem is in hop 1 (your router) or hop 2 ( the connection between your house and the ISP.

If you get issues to far into the trace it will be in another ISP and there really is no way to contact them since you are not their customer.

that's what i got from pinging..

All that does is confirm you are getting loss in the network. Running ping to the end server addresses does not help to identify where the problem is.

Go through some of you tracert from the first post and ping ip addresses in those lists. You want to start with the address in hop 1 and work your way to higher ones. You want to find the place where start to see loss. If for example hops 1-3 never lose any data but you start seeing data loss at hop 4 and beyond you could ask you ISP to look into that. You really need to hope the problem is in your ISP network, if it is between ISP it is much hard to get them to fix that.
