Hi, I've been dealing with stuttering issues in several online games. It seems like the problem isn't hardware-related—playing offline doesn’t cause it, and there’s no network lag or rubberbanding. Even basic games like Human Fall Flat show severe stutter when joining lobbies but not locally. It might be a system issue with handling online play. Your router looks good and your connection stays stable at 40MB without drops. What should I try next?

Hi there, begin by checking your network troubleshooting steps. Test connectivity to your local area and then move toward the Internet. Remember, most games rely on UDP for multiplayer, which ping supports, while TCP is more reliable. Some titles offer an option to monitor UDP packet loss, such as in Insurgency: Sandstorm. Certain game engines manage packet loss by pausing the gameplay, which could be relevant here. Also, with today’s network conditions and increased usage, there may be broader issues beyond your control. Let me know how it turns out.
