Potential Fix for Latency Spike/Game stutters

Like many of you, I have been experiencing crazy latency spikes that make the game unplayable. In a game where standing still will get you dead fast...we all the know the frustration. I had/have searched for some time now for a potential fix for it. I had pretty much given up hope that GGG were going to address it now, during EA, until they were just about ready to full launch. I tried EVERYTHING. Sound channel low, clear chats, join some bizarre Global and Trade channels. I may have stumbled on something that has thus far cleared it up for me.

I put together a custom PC build earlier this summer because, well, it was time to upgrade the ole potato. My current specs are:

Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Mobo-ASUS Prime X870-P WIFI 7
VC RX 9070XT 16Gb

Periodically, I follow a streamer named JayzTwoCents. I happened to see he had a video up talking about stuttering in games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWTZkB9rVU0
Apparently, there is something going on with new MOBO's that have on board bluetooth and wifi adapters and their drivers.
Son of B, I did what he proposes on the video and haven't had an issue with latency spikes yet. Hope it works for you too. I know how frustrating these latency spike could get.

TL:DR-
-Go to your mobo manufacturers website, update your Chipset drivers
-Update your on board bluetooh drivers
-Update your on board WiFi drivers

Peace.

Often overlooked it can simply be not having a ethernet cable running from the wi-fi to the PC.
Not all homes can do this but it can make all the difference.
I actually ran a cable because I was originally on WiFi, but even hard wired I was getting the bad latency spikes.
yep, as usual, using microsoft's generic drivers is a horrible mistake
d:-D*
There was latency issue? I don't remember that but seeing the problem you had it was obviously a local issue. Glad you got it fixed.
