Gaming connection triage

Find the cause before you chase a fix.

High ping, packet loss, spikes and desync are different symptoms. This tool turns what you see in game into a short, prioritized troubleshooting plan.

Four symptoms, four different starting points

High, stable ping

Usually start with region, party host and physical distance. A faster download plan may not change route distance.

Spikes

Start with Wi-Fi and uploads. Jitter often matters more than the best ping number you saw.

Packet loss

Compare wired and quiet conditions first, then retain timestamps and route evidence for your ISP.

Desync

Check server status and frame time as well as the network. Not every delayed action is a routing problem.
