Hi all, I have a bit of a strange problem. I'm only able to play certain games online by connecting my phone to my Wi-Fi, turning on the mobile hotspot with Wi-Fi sharing, and then connecting my PC to my phone to use the Wi-Fi.
The games affected are GTA-5 Online & Call of Duty Warzone, if I launch GTA up on my Wi-Fi, I'll almost instantly be booted into a solo session, so if I actually want to play with other people, I have to connect to my phones mobile hotspot. As for CoD, if I launch Warzone connected to my Wi-Fi, I have crazy high latency of 800ms-1000ms and huge packet loss, whereas when I'm connected to my phones hotspot, I'll sit at a solid 65ms-85ms latency with minimal packet loss. Before this issue started happening I would have a solid connection from my Wi-Fi, with 25ms-35ms latency and little to no packet loss.
Strangely, I don't seem to have any issues playing the new CoD Cold War using my Wi-Fi, and there doesn't seem to be any other games that have a problem with it. I've done a bit of searching around online, but I can't seem to find anyone else having the same problem.
I've tried reparing the game files & all the usual advice for improving latency issues, to no avail.
