Extremely High Arma Ping - HelpDevo2K17

[Jack D]

Usually I do not post things asking for help, however recently this issue has become extreme...

Usually my internet operates at the same speeds as below:

However I notice that every time I go in to the arma server browser and the RPUK servers, my ping skyrockets upon joining servers (most noticeably when viewing my client connection information on teamspeak, the ping goes from a steady 24ms to around 200 to even 600 at times, for about a burst of 10 seconds and then returns to 24ms).

Recently the game has become completely unplayable due to these ping spikes that always manage to get me kicked off the servers, and I have now tried pretty much everything on every forum listed in the first 2 pages of google, that are relevant to my issue...

My specifications are below:

Average Download Speeds: Around 50mb/s

Average Upload Speeds: Around 10mb/s

Average Ping: Usually around 24 on teamsspeak

Processor: Quad Core inter i5-3570k 3.40GHz CPU (for some reason windows lists it as being 3.40GHz and 3.80GHz)

RAM: 8GB

Type of system: 64 Bit, x64

OS: Windows 10 Ofcourse

Graphics Card: GTX 1060

I have even tried resetting my router completely (Router is the Netgear Nighthawk R800)

I am not directly connected to the router, I use an extended ethernet via wall plug adapters from BT

If you require any additional information, I will be happy to provide it...

Any help would be immensely appreciated

Currently Attempted

NOTE: I truly am a network hobo (although I know a thing or too) so plzzz don't slam me for doing stupid things to try and fix this, that clearly won't work)

Deleted battle eye and reinstalled it - Fail

Steam Verified Game Cache - Fail

Updated all drivers (Network, graphics, CPU etc) - Fail

Added CafeRate at 6000 value to steam Regedit - Semi Worked (Document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VOLA5sNqjX-0tS06fkZinqP2g2N3igcyO1x-JRk6aFo/edit?usp=sharing)

Restart computer - Restarted but not fully tested ingame yet

Reset firewall and confirmed Arma 3 has access to it - Confirmed Arma can get through windows firewall, reset did not work

I also have the issue of ping sky rocketing when playing on the servers as well, however this problem is usually fixed after a hard reset

Ah, Windows 10. I'd say that was your problem, but I am a bit bias. I use W7 myself.

How often is your computer restarted, and I do mean properly restarted not just put to sleep? 

 

[Jack D]

Not very often! I will try this shortly. I have been on server for around 14 minutes and have pinged my computer, so far I have had a steady 24ms with short spikes to a  max of 40ms, going to see if I get kicked again

Update:

I was kicked from the server for "Network issues" after 27 minutes, at this time I was pinging myself  from my VPS, and I had a ping of around 30ms or something like that...?

You forgot to note that your network is not accepting any packets either which is very unusual from when we tested it before

does it only happen on ALUK or is it happening on all servers?

 

[Jack D]

Other servers seem fine but I don't usually play other servers for as long as I play on RPUK so I really couldn't give an exact answer. From my limited experience on other servers, I find that I don't get kicked as often.

it sounds like it still happening although even not as much it could mean your just playing on servers with naturally lower ping, but still suffering from lag spikes.

does this issue only happen on arma? have you played on other games where you get some serious lag it becomes unplayable?
