I have problem, every time i run any game from steam, and i do test speed, then download is about 15mbps, but the upload always below 1mbps.
When i run dota2. I can playing normaly 20minute without the packet loss, after 20minute packet loss can reach 69.. its make me frustrating. Anyone can help?

It's weird but my problem is every like first 5 minutes of the game I'm having this fluctuating ping from 10ms to 400 or 1000ms. It's constant through that period. It's annoying during the early game especially if you're doing cs. So annoying. I'm on SEA/Japan server and my ISP is PLDT.

my in game ping is 32 and i have 190 download and upload speed but i still have a 3 packet loss that occurs every like minute do you know what might be the problem. even when i use only one device.

My problem is weird because I have 100 MBPS up and down and have 2 ping on speedtests, my internet is VERY fast in anything else, but in dota 2 my closest servers are japan and SE asia, which ALWAYS ran at 50ping but just about a week ago they are both at 150 or higher and I have no clue why!! So frustrating!

People complaining about 50 or less ping while am trying to at least get to stable 90 😢

[jekjek]

My internet connection is good. But still sometimes when I'm in the game, it's lagging but the ping is low. My problem is just for the packet loss. How to fix this sir?

Lag is so annoying to the moon. Even if you are a good player and not a cancer, you will become one.
