i see, so there is a chance that something is wrong with my machine or isp that makes them do that?

i do tried tethering from my phone, same result.

yeah it has home and world ping. iirc home handle about chat stuff and world is character stuff. both has high ping. sometimes one is wildly higher than the other sometimes both

    There are a ton of unknowns here, it may end up being as easy as disabling some game setting related to network optimization or ipv6 use. Most of troubleshooting is just thinking of more questions to ask!

    Are you launching the game using wine/proton/???

    i did try disabling ipv6 and enable it both in game, router and network setting.

    all of the router, game, launcher, steam network setting that i know off has been tried enabled or disabled.

    im using steam to launch the game so proton. and i have tried several version, hotfix, stable and even custom proton to no avail.

    currently im trying to install wow in my wife laptop and see if its network or my pc thats the problem

    with any luck perhaps she interested in playing together..

    I had a lag spike situation on a steamos machine playing a game called shape of dreams when using wifi but not ethernet, and it wanted a network card driver update. Kind of a shot in the dark but you might try it.

    I'm reading that there's a network stats API that addons can use https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/API:GetNetStats

    Maybe there's a network performance monitor addon you could find, but I don't have suggestions there.
