Hello everyone, I've just begun playing CS:GO again after three years and I'm experiencing lag spikes every ten seconds. My ping stays steady around 20-30 ping, and I'm running at 2k 200fps without any issues—especially since offline play doesn't have those jumps or spikes. I've updated the drivers but haven't seen any improvement. My TP-Link adapter works fine, internet speed is normal, CPU usage is around 68%, and I'm not sure what's causing the problem. People say I'm lagging badly, but my game runs just as smoothly during high traffic or when no one is online. The spikes feel like a sudden jump of just one frame forward, lasting only about half a second every few seconds. Could you help me figure this out? Thanks!

Hearthstone is unique, and while it doesn't always look perfect, it still works well.

When performance drops, focus on the 'choke' and 'loss' metrics closely.

The issue might be due to network fluctuations or latency changes. When you press tab, your ping could temporarily drop to a lower value, making it seem like the gameplay is smoother than usual. Also, the game's server response times can vary, which might explain the discrepancy between the displayed ping and actual connection speed.

The net graph provides correct ping statistics rather than the scoreboard. It seems more reliable.

But I'm seeing 200ping instead of the 10-40 values the tests display.
