Packet loss every evening at the same time

Spent most of the weekend on this and I am still not sure I understand it. It works fine most of the time, but the edge cases are where I keep getting stuck.

Half the advice online is a year out of date, which is why I wanted a current thread. If someone has a link to a proper explanation, I will take it.

This is the bit people miss — region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

Slightly different take — the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

Good luck, it is a common snag.

Slightly different take — the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

Short version: region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

Depends on your setup, but broadly worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

Worth a shot before anything drastic.
