since around june of last year, roblox has been absolutely chewing through my bandwidth and is causing unimaginably high ping. only ever when playing roblox, which happens in every game (sometimes averaging >10k or maybe even >50k)
heres an image of what my ping was on christmas, which even persisted until around mid-january with pings consistently getting above 20k and often passing 100k, even in one of my own places which only has around 20 parts
before june i would only ever max out at around 1-2k ping while the game was loading, and then it would stay between 50-200 depending on server location, and thats with the router im currently using, which ive had since around 2022
for anyone wondering, this is what my wifi speed usually sits at, which is pretty normal considering my routers position and should have zero problem with running roblox
i dont have this issue with any other online application like chrome, discord, steam or medal, even with them all open at the same time which uses the same if not more of my network that roblox does when its the only window open, and that has absolutely zero connection issues, so its not a problem with my router
ive even tried a bunch of different ways to fix it to no avail, such as opening ports that roblox uses, running roblox as administrator, granting firewall permissions, even redownloading roblox multiple times. all stuff that doesnt require resetting my entire pc since i dont have an extra usb or hard drive to back up files with yet.
only way to reconnect my router is to alt+f4 roblox. leaving a game can also cause this issue depending on its size/part count or how intensive scripts are on the client from what i can tell
task managers performance tab also has no help since it all seems pretty normal, and i dont think router/home location matter since several people have the same problem, even after moving to houses with better internet quality
system info if that matters:
- Windows 10
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
- AMD Ryzen 5 2600 six-core processor
I also dont have this problem at all on mobile, even if im sat at my pc which has the problem. even went to roblox support several times to no avail since thats all just automated messages that to my knowledge are never actually having reports read by a real person
i dont even know how to reproduce it, id presume you just play roblox during high activity hours without any ethernet plugged in but thats just a guess
Expected behavior
whats expected to happen:
ping should have a slight jump to somewhere around 1k ping while loading, then go back down to a normal 40-200 (depending on server location) within a minute and have no issues with connection
what actually happens:
ping stays consistently above 3k, often surpassing 10k-50k ping while loading, and often stays above 2-5k for up to 15-45 minutes after loading. once ping goes down, it refuses to drop below 500 for more than 30 seconds at a time, often causing disconnects within 5 minutes of joining or before i even get off the loading screen, also causing my pc to refuse registering every single router around my house including my own for up to 5 minutes, also attempting to disconnect other devices.
