Consistent packet loss spikes in Valorant

Hello, 

As of the last 5 or so days, whilst playing Valorant I have been experiencing spikes of packet loss hitting as high as 15% and have been losing over 500 packets per game. Sometimes these spikes last long enough that things freeze for a second or two. 

Here is a Tracert log i did:

  • Hello Slombre.

    Thanks for your post and welcome to our community.

    We're sorry to hear about the packet loss whilst playing Valorant.

    If you're using a desktop PC, have you checked your drivers are up to date?

    How are you connected, WIFi or wired?

    Have you tried an alternative ethernet cable?
