Go to solution Solved by CrustStation,

So I closed steam and the majority of the broken packets has disappeared. There are no broken packets from the IPs I listed.

Nice. Restart steam and see what happens.

I really have no idea what is going on... I was getting around 25 ms in TF2 last week, but now I'm lucky enough to get 50 even to my own local server. I nothing that I know of has changed. Is there anything that I could do to try to lower it?

Could be a bug in the Source engine... Check the rate of packets entering and leaving the computer.

With or without a game running? Sorry if that is a stupid question. I'm a networking noob.

I would compare. Do a test with and one without to see if TF2 uses significantly more packets. Check THIS LINK.

So I did a test in Wireshark and I noticed that I had a lot of black-labeled packets. This supposedly means something went wrong. Could this be part of the issue.

Most certainly. Can you track down where they're from?

There was a huge block of them coming from my PC to 54.67.97.74, 72.34.20.75, and 209.235.1.219

All of the broken packets are coming from my PC

Hmmm... Any way to cut them off?

I have no idea. Is there any way to figure out what they are? They might be Steam or something like that.

It could be steam. Go into task manager and see what you can turn off (and restart steam).

Around 25 broken packets from 54.67.97.74 (which I bet is Steam) but that's all
