It all started one night after I finished a session of Arma 3. I went on to play other games like Battlefield 4 and League of Legends, and I saw that my ping would spike from 80 to 200. Normally my ping is around 40. This happened every night, so I thought the high ping had to do with the time of day for whatever reason. I then noticed that I was having high ping ONLY on the online games other than Arma 3. Web browsing, watching videos, and playing Arma 3 itself went as smooth as always, but whenever I would open an online game, boom, 200 ping.
So, I did a test. I went throughout the whole day without opening Arma 3. The results were a constant ~40 ping though the day, even at the later hours at night when my ping was supposed to skyrocket on Battlefield 4 and League of Legends. I then wanted to see what would happen to my perfectly normal ping if I opened Arma 3. I proceeded to open Arma 3, play it for about 10 minutes, close it, and go right back to Battlefield 4 to check my ping. Lo and behold, my ping jumped all the way to the 100-200 range, spiking constantly. So, it has to do with Arma 3... somehow. I have no idea. Sorry for the lengthy post. Any suggestions are appreciated!
