Lagspike problem workaround + Analysis

For me it doesnt lag when I enter a map, it just suddenly freezes up with no kind of warning. This freeze last between 5-15 seconds and occurs approximatly 3 times an hour. I always play HC, but I might have to give up on it and play SC. Lost 3 characters this league to this, and now I think im done. Also several crashes alongside. What happened GGG? They dont reply on mails either.

I stopped playing since the freezing is really annoying. I did not have this issue before last patch as someone has already mentioned in previous post...
I will probably test this "hint" if I still find some enthusiasm to play

^^^^ this is the worst

I have been complaining about this issue for a while now and have gotten zero support. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anYJpuvSDtM&feature=youtu.be shows the the issue. WinMTR shows no packet loss https://pastebin.com/AyFJpcTq. This was started in the bad instance 100 packets and ended when instance was re entered 330 packets. I have multiple videos and the WinMtrs to go with them.

Problem personally started for me at the beginning of Abyss league. I have used wireshark to capture the times these happened but I personally could not decipher it. Friend of mine has said it looks like packet loss and happens continuously until the instance is re entered. Once re entered no issues pop up until the problem occurs again.

I wouldn't expect any kind of support. Emails go unanswered and these threads go unanswered and its very disappointing considering this is a game I have played religiously since closed beta.

edit: Forgot to mention this also occurs with/without a router, old and new modem, and all three US servers.

Thinking about it now, I belive some1 said that could be traced back to ASUS motherboard net optimization, or something like this; now I got just ASUS motherboard, but so I did since I started playing this game...

I have an MSI MB and I still have the issue.

THANK YOU.

THIS 100% HAS TO BE A GGG ISSUE

One can HOPE they have been working on it despite saying NOTHING about these issues on the forums.

Ridiculous.

I too played Harbinger without any issue, the correlation between the amount of people this is happening to and when it all started is 100% something GGG changed to mess this shit up since Harbinger.

I just described a workaround, maybe you should read it :) . Next time you enter a lagged out map/playfield try going to the hideout and enter the map again.

That doesn't seem to work for me.

Switched to Moscow server and no more freezes.
