It's absurd that while I'm playing my ping always goes up at times, I do the speed test I have 17ms and while I use shadow 22, but I open a game using (controller and headphones) It's a continuous lag the ping reaches 40 50, then maybe 10 seconds of respite, then again, but what is the cause my connection or the servers? but if I use shadow without playing these lags don't happen... then the game I use is bo3 it can't even weigh on the machine from

not absurd at all, it often means that it's a bandwidth issue, if your network upstream/downstream(or both) connection is saturated then the latency/ping/jitter will go up.

#

first workaround is to manually reduce bitrate to minimum and see if the ping is stable

then slowly rise it while investigating the issue (poor wifi link, brother downloading stuff, ....)

#

with details it's better, at least to have a more precise idea of the issue

ok I'll try to decrease the bitrate I was using it to the maximum now it could be that cause at this point
