Thanks again @david64  I followed your instructions to the letter, with -anb I was able to see only a bunch of ports opened by csgo.exe eg;  [csgo.exe] UDP 0.0.0.0:62239 *:* I scoured the whole list and those are unfortunately all that's listed with csgo.exe while connected and in a game :( ...

Hi @david64 ! Thanks for your comment. I've pinged my router address;  Pinging 192.168.1.102 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.1.102: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 And that's what it says every time on each line after 3 tries. As far as I know, Valve's csgo server ip adresses are hidden, I've googled a bit and most tell me to install third party software to find the IP to use a tracert on. Is this advised or would I be able to find the IP an easier way?   Cheers! ... View more

Hi @Anonymous , My pc is connected via ethernet/lan via a 'powerline' adaptor for cable managment, I originally thought this was the problem so I ran an ethernet cable from my pc all the way to the router but experienced the same problem. Troubleshooting steps are as follows;   Rebooted pc multiple times Rebooted router multiple times Restarted game multiple times, sometimes this works and I don't have a problem for hours after rebooting the game between every match, even the whole night, but Friday nights it seems to be at it's worst and this does not work at all. Disabled wifi searching with "netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="Wireless Network Connection"" in the Windows command prompt. As aforementioned used a long ethernet cable to connect rather than the powerline adaptor. Also as aforementioned, this only happens (or so I've noticed) on CSGO, the same problem happening on other games would definitely be noticeable however because the ping 'spikes' render the other players in the game totally frozen, then after hitting the peak ping spike (between 80-1000) the players 'catch up' as it drops. I would have noticed it anywhere else.   Thanks for your help! ... View more
