Insane Latency Spikes and Game Crashes since 3.23

Unfortunately it's the same for me. I've never had performance issues before, wanted to start the league today and the game is absolutely unplayable.
Crazy latency spikes up to 200k+ before disconnect, while CPU/VRAM is below 10ms.
Any help would be appreciated.

Same for me, unplayable without a extrem tanky build.
Lost too many levels and maps because of this ****

same for me, its literally unplayable - just got 112k ms just waiting for the disconnect. its unreal and nowhere fun losing maps because of this. please fix this. until then - cya in 3.24

This is ridiculous,for last 4 hours I've been trying to adjust memory timings,cpu clocks,every single thing that comes to my mind,can't avoid random spikes...was hoping to play this league...

Same problem here.

The problem can be fixed by renewing ipconfig

Or, you could go from wireless to cable, and it will be fixed without fuzz.

Also, if it's been a hot minute since you restarted your router...do it. It's sort of a computer like the one you are on now. Everything needs to restart from time to time.

There are a few similar threads with the same topic currently, the fact that GGG has not even acknowledged any of their existence is mindboggling.

From what I gather:

Lag spikes occuring in EU but also US and Asia
Seems to depend on routing - packet loss only with some destination IPs
Seems to have started a couple of days prior to league launch (many players including myself first noticed this in Standard during leaguestart prep)

Switching instances helps

In an old thread (2018 / 2019) for Germany some people were blaming the ISP Telekom - I personally cannot imagine this since I switched from Vodafone Cable with high latency during peak hours to Telekom and have had stable 10-14ms for months now.
A couple of my friends are not experiencing any issues with same ISP but different city.
But of course you never know.


I really wish GGG would give some input on whether or not they believe it to be a problem with any changes made a few days ago on their end.

Posted ~5 hours ago. Same issue; latency spikes and game locking up. Just turned off Windows firewall, restarted system, and have been playing now for an hour no issues. I am on Windows 11 Home 10.0.22621 Build 22621. North America. Never had this occur prior.

Not having problems with anything else. Just this game. Insane lag.
