So I'm having an issue that is absolutely driving me nuts. Right around the time the FFXIV 5.3 update, my Windows PC also updated to the Ver 2020 release of Windows 10. Ever since then, only on my PC, I've been having networking issues with online gaming.
I am able to connect, and for the most part if I don't do anything, I stay connected. However, any instances or activity tends to have me rubber banding or disconnecting multiple times. Other online games (Fortnite, etc.) are also having these sorts of issues, where I never had them before.
The most difficult thing to track down is that only this PC is having issues. Connecting my PS4 to either game seems quite stable. Even using remote play to play the PS4 on this PC is stable. Only actually running the software on the PC is causing the connection issues. It is normally hooked to a wired connection, and had recently been connected to the router via a network switch (it ran fine for a few weeks with this setup, and fine before that as well). Anyone have any ideas?
Things I've tried:
Updating Drivers
DNS Flush and other refresh commands
Clean Booting
Adding particular settings in Registry
Malwarebytes Scan
Connecting via Wi-fi or a USB Ethernet Port
I'm at a loss. If it was just my internet, I'd have to deal, but the fact that my PS4 works fine has me at a loss.
It's a Dell Inspiron 3670, just over a year old. Been working fine for months.
Can anyone help a long time lurker BG friends?
