Windows 10 with Ryzen 3 3100, 4 GB RAM, GTX 550 ti SSD is optimized for gaming and system performance. Download/upload speeds hover around 33/6.5 Mbps, depending on ping. All updates are current. The OS is running a week old version. This explanation will be thorough since many assumed I was just a poor player. The game being played is Valorant—a tactical 5v5 shooter similar to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. If you’re familiar with FPS titles, you understand they demand sharp aiming and accurate tracking. My goal was to dodge enemy fire while taking them out. But often the enemy spots me first and I fall. I’ve tried peeking around corners to use stealth, but it still doesn’t work. I’ve shot at them and missed; their shots vanish. The attached images show this repeatedly. Before, I thought it was my skill, but video evidence confirmed it wasn’t. I filed a support ticket with a clip and riot. After adjusting PingPlotter settings to disable TCP/IPv6, the issue resolved completely. Now I can aim accurately, track enemies, and land headshots smoothly. However, once movement starts, lag or freezing still occurs—sometimes 2-3 seconds delay when changing direction. This makes me feel like a sitting target while opponents struggle. Everything else—hardware, drivers, monitors—seems fine. The only certainty is it’s an internet-related problem. Turning off TCP/IPv6 fixed everything instantly. No other changes worked. Now the game runs at peak performance again. I’ve lost every match so far. By the way, since you’re in Egypt, be prepared for potentially poor service from your ISP. Internet reliability can vary greatly there. Generally, expect issues, but this case was resolved by adjusting a single setting. It’s clear it’s an internet glitch. I’m confident this is the main cause. Playing Valorant is tough; I need to improve my tracking and timing. If you know what I’m facing, let me know how to fix it!
