Network Connectivity Issues While Playing Games (PC)(Windows 10)

stellar_drew · Jun 12, 2020

Hi I am having terrible connectivity issues during gameplay. It just spikes / stutters / disconnects every few mins, basically no matter what game I am playing. I have even done a factory reset a few months ago because of this and it didn't help. I am up
to date on all drivers and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling certain network / wifi ones. I believe my computer should be running these games just fine with my computers hardware (please let me know how I can post my comp/net specs) - I have tried DellSupportAssist,
and many other troubleshooting stuff. I have turned off my firewall, restored it to default, cleared its cache, I am not on a vpn... I can keep going lol. Please let me know how I can post my comp/network stats and I appreciate any help whatsoever. I get a
solid 200mbps+ download and a round 12mbps+ upload constantly so I dont think that is the issue.

Thank you again!

If your network connection is fine, are you sure the PC itself is handling the games properly? you can also try allowing the games through the firewall instead of disabling it to still keep yourself protected. Some game servers might also be connecting
to a servers thats not in your region and may be causing the lag spikes.

If you tested your internet for speed using speed test, select a different server and see if the results vary.

Hi!
Have you checked that the minimum game requirements are reached by your PC?
Do you play via WIFi or LAN?
Have you checked that you have no connection problems?

spikes / stutters / disconnects - How are you measuring thing ? Are you sure it's not the game that's lagging? Have you tried using a wired connection ?

Hi,

To properly isolate your concern, we need the following information:

2. Do you have the physical copy or digital version of the game?

3. Is your Windows 10 PC connected to a wired or wireless network?

4. Have you tried connecting your Windows 10 PC to a different network and check if the same instance occurs?

Hey there,

Is there a specific error code that you get with that error message? It sounds like there may a network issue, or there may be other software installed on your Windows 10 PC that may be interfering with connecting to the game's servers. To start, let's try
uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition from your Windows 10 PC. You can uninstall Minecraft from the app list within the Start Menu on Windows 10, and reinstall the game through the Windows Store.

Hope this helps!
