Games running too fast with lagging

[insyght]

Hello everyone!

 

I am having a major issue, which is that my games are temporarily running too fast.

The image feels sped up, yet it remains at high fps.

When im running, the animation and souns are too fast and I get set back a few metres every few steps.

I experienced this in PUBG and Dead By Daylight so far, haven't tried out other games yet.

I'm guessing it's a network issue since it only occured on 2 evenings so far whilst I was able to play normally a few hours ago.

 Just in case, this is my hardware

Everything is on the latest drivers.

 

Ryzen 5 1600 @3.8Ghz 1.34V

16GB DDR4-3000 RAM

ASRock B350ITX/ac

GTX 1060 6GB Strix

500W bquiet! PSU

SSD + HDD

 

Any help on this?

Sounds like what is referred to as "Rubber banding", in which, you are magically transported, sent back, sped up, or slowed down, by your perspective, due to network lag.

 

There's usually nothing you can do about it, aside from getting better internet. This is, of course, assuming there's no hardware faults or line issues.

 

If it happens frequently, talk to your ISP and ask them to run some tests on your line.

Thanks for the advice.

I used my hardware in the exact same state before with no issues, so it's unlikely to be a hardware issue.

 

However, I restarted my router/modem and the rubber banding went away.

So I'm gonna have to see if the problem persists.

Update your router firmware. Get a new one if it keeps doing it. They do die somewhat after some time. IME.

Narrow it down, does it happen in single player games?  If so then its system/driver related. 

If it only happens in multiplayer games, then it is related to network devices and or latency/packet loss.
