Lag spikes. Can I solve this on my own?

They occur during the night and sometimes during the day.
During this roughly 5 minute test, it happened once.

The game will freeze for about 1 second then 'super speed' for 2 seconds, catching up.

I did this MTR thing, but I have no idea how to read it.
Wondering if there is anything I can do on my end, besides the reading and going through the stickies?

Switching to predictive networking mode may help, the freeze/speed up you're describing has to do with lockstep. Your ping is low enough where predictive would likely give you a better experience.

You potentially might get some slight rubberbanding but that's easier to deal with than the freeze/speed up IMO.

You'll need to be at the login screen to change this setting. It's in Options>UI.

Hope this helps.
Just a lowly standard player. May RNGesus be with you.
