Daily lagg spikes afternoon/evening
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2026 7:14 pm
Hello Community,
I am experiencing some hard lagg spikes for already multiple days, while everything was good before the DDOS attacks. First I thought it was due to the DDOS attacks but I still get them at the same times as we had the DDOS, while whole chat says that servers are stable and they have no lagg at all. Also a friend of mine who lives close to me was playing together with me and he did not have any laggs while I had these laggs yesterday. I am only experiencing these issues in the afternoon and evening(CET), mornings are great to play with ~50ms ping. When the laggs were too bad to play, I played different games, all completely laggfree at ~ 32-40ms ping.
In the afternoons there is absolutely no delay, except these spikes, in evenings I have high latency and in addition these spikes.
The duration of these lagg spikes varies between 3 seconds to often 5-15 seconds and rarely 30 seconds to 2 Minutes where nothing happens and after that everything loads at once, which also killed a char of mine 2 days ago.
Here you can find a video demonstration of it, where there worst was around 15 seconds but I also had one for over a minute this afternoon - https://we.tl/t-ogN5YikWQtMsDWSO - link works for 72 hours, after that I can reupload if needed.
Here is what I tried but did not help at all:
- flush DNS
- disable all addons
- disable antivirus
- delete all octo wow files + launcher and redownloaded everything
Does anyone have an idea how to fix that or could it be due to DDOS protection and might be fixed when servers move to A'Dam? I really want to keep playing but currently its too dangerous as I play Hardcore.
Best Regards
