High ping in some games, good internet, great ping in valve games

[broyd.dany]

for some reason, these last couple of days i have encountered a weird issue with my network.
valve games, such as dota and csgo, work completly fine with around 80 ms which is good for me because i live far away from servers. however, games such as rocket league, or even apps like teamspeak sometimes decide to randomly spike my ping to 600ms or higher in some cases.
speedtest result: http://www.speedtest.net/result/7615966671
im using a wired connection, and i have never experienced something like that.
also when i ping the servers through cmd, i get a normal around 80ms ping.
help?

use tracert to see from where u get that high ping, if its on your side, it can be fixed with network settings, if its somewhere in between, u will need to use proxy (VPN)

It would be nice if it were that simple. You need to run tracert to the game servers ip. Then you need to get lucky and the problem happen when you are running the tracert. You want to see if there is some difference between the traces for games that work and ones that don't

that trace looks fine i guess
or do u feel that u have high ping on google website?
u should trace server ip where u experiencig that 600ms ping

like open game, then task manager -> system resources, there click on network -> network activity to see ip for that game server

heres the thing, i tried to do that, the pings to the server is always fine, but not in the actual non valve game or teamspeak
its so stupid i dont get the reason as to why my ping in games like dota is fine but not in fortnite/rocket league/ ts

You need to leave a cmd window open with a constant ping run to the game server in back ground. Games can sometime lie and say it was a network delays when what is really happening is they are too busy do graphics or something else to bother to check if they have received a response.

If the background ping show the problem also then it gets more complex. You at that point really want to ping from a different machine to see if the game is impacting the machine somehow.

This tends to be fairly tedious to solve since you must be able to prove the problem or the ISP will like I did blame the game as a possible source.

Best case would be if you can get ping cmds to your router IP to show nothing wrong but ping commands to hop 2 (the ISP router) to show delay. They you can ask the ISP to fix and and you have pretty clear proof it is not your equipment causing it.

You can continue to ping IP in the trace until you find the one that causes it but if it is too far away it might be in another ISP and even your ISP can't fix that.

Make sure it's not from steam downloading. Steam download's typically pause once you open a game. check the resource monitor to make sure it's not.
