Latency Spiking During Raids (~3.5s)

[RSS News]

I have been trying to solve 3.5 seconds latency spikes during raids.

I live in Australia, and my character is on Tonberry.

I have done:

• Wired network (Rj45 + optic fiber)
• No firewall or anti-virus
• no background tasks or services
• Xeon CPU (8 cores) and 1060 GTX
• No energy saving on network card
• High performance settings
• Ping to Google DNS (8.8.8.8) = 8ms
• Ping to Datacenter = 155ms
• In-game ping = 850ms (back)
• Router is linux-box with Xeon (i.e. very fast)

I haven't done:

• Port forwarding (from the linux-box)
• Windows registry or command line to change network settings
• Using WTFast service or other

I don't think the congestion is the PC or the local network, or either the IPS has the ping to the DC is good. The port forwarding may improve by few milliseconds the ping but won't resolve 3.5s lags.

I have 3 questions:

• What is causing the latency spikes?
• What should I do to resolve it?
• Would a service like WTFast make a real difference?

Thanks for the help
