Unplayable Lag/Sync Issues

I sent some data of my own, my problem is a little different from what's reported in this thread but to me it seems at least related to.

Here are the threads with my initial investigation before collecting MTR data:

Hope it helps.

After reading that I search for vista anti lag and came up with http://www.mapmodnews.com/article.php/Vista-Anti-Lag-VAL-1.1.1-Wireless-Spikes. I downloaded the progam and ALL my lag is gone period. I run perfectly smooth now :). Guess i can go back to hardcore mode. Please note this fix is for vista wireless users only.

Glad you fixed it. :)

I have same problem as others, since last patch i get lots of lag and lots of disconnection to login screen.

Continuing from my issue on page 2:

Is there anyway to find out where this lag is coming from? These spikes are happening every few seconds while in game, but I'm also pinging the same game server here in Windows.

I was playing around with Wireshark for a bit. If anyone is familiar with it, could this program help at all? After a bit of messing around, I could filter it to show packets to and from the game server, but didn't really know if this info was useful or not.

I was trying to watch Wireshark and Path of Exile at the same time for a bit. So far, current analysis is that these highlighted packets are happening at the same time as the lag spikes in game.

Last bump here. I think I actually found the problem.

This is the testing I did this morning:

I opened Path of Exile (which is almost part of my morning routine now) to check if it was spiking. It wasn't spiking this morning *gasp*. This computer is upstairs and on wireless, so I kind of just noted which other computers were connected and double checked that none had BitTorrent running. All good. While on the subject of BitTorrent I decided to open it and see if anything suspicious (lag spikes) happened. It was open for about 20 seconds and connected to a few peers. Damn. The spikes were actually back. I close BitTorrent expecting the spikes to go away--nope still there. I restart my computer to double-check nothing is still running or connected from opening BitTorrent. The spikes were still there. I went downstairs to the computer that can connect to the modem directly.

I unplug the router from the modem and then plug the computer into the modem. I reset the modem to get an IP and open Path of Exile. No spikes. I then go back to using the router, reset modem to get an IP, and then open Path of Exile. Still good with no spikes. I curiously open BitTorrent again. Spikes are back. Close BitTorrent. Still spiking. I get the idea to clone the PC's MAC address (since it was fine with just the modem) to the router, reset modem to get an IP. Spikes are gone. I go back to being directly plugged into the modem. I didn't have to reset it since I'm using the same MAC address. Spikes still gone. Open up BitTorrent and the spikes are back. I go back to the router (same MAC still) and still spiking. Hm, I change the last two numbers of the router's MAC to something else and reset the modem. Spikes are gone.

It looks like my ISP and/or modem is doing something everytime BitTorrent is opened. The duration of whatever it's doing is limited (explains the random times the game works), but unknown. Whatever it's doing apparently affects the games Path of Exile and Tera.

I have same issue last few days.
Plzzzzz
this night it's impossible play... :(

WinMTR-v092

Use that to trace the route to the server and see if its something to do with routers enroute.
