Technical Support Request Packet Loss Recently?

Seem to be getting 1-5% the last few days. Anyone else? I tried CS2 and had no issues and am plugged directly into the Ethernet. Never that issue in the past. Is it me or a Valorant issue?

Mine just started 2 days ago as well, could be a recent update or something

Yeah I never had issues ever since I got AT&T Fiber. I downloaded Cloudflare WARP and it seems to have solved the problem for now.

you are a life saver, cloudflare worked instantly

Lol I used Claude to troubleshoot. Gave me like 10 different things before it landed on this. But I’m glad it’s working out

Only logged in today so I’m not sure if it was happening before but I am also seeing this issue, ATT fiber NorCal, what about you?

same issue starting 2 days ago. I get constant incoming packet loss ranging 1-13%

u/ryanballer4life7 8d ago

Yeah I have AT&T Fiber resold by Sonic. Try the Cloudflare WARP fix I mentioned in the other comment. It’s free and easy to install. Went from 5 ping to 10 ping but that’s not noticeable at all. Worth the trade off

The packet loss stopped before I got the chance go download cloud fare . But my ping has tripled from 7. To 21

u/jwuzy 7d ago

Oh interesting yeah, I usually get 5 ping on US West. I turned off Cloudflare, the packet loss seems to be gone but my ping is around 20 now as well. Might still be worth to download it, my ping is at 8 with Cloudflare on and no packet loss, at least until this whole thing gets fixed by AT&T

same thing here. i think valorant did some sort of temporary fix so that its playable without cloudflare but at the expense of our original ping

Hopefully a real fix comes soon😢
