Hey guys, I have a question for you. Sometimes when I play games while streaming, things break down in my connection. If I'm playing offline stuff like Death Stranding or Spiderman, the internet goes super smooth and fast. But when I switch to other games that usually need a lot of speed, like Hogwarts Legacy or Valorant, it suddenly drops right down to about 90% of what it should be doing. Even if I turn Steam on for offline mode, the lag stays there. I've looked at YouTube and Google but don't know why this is happening. Is there any way to fix my connection? I am using a Lenovo Legion. Thanks so much!
