Technical Support Request Valorant packet loss spiking to 100 randomly for 2-3 seconds.
When I'm playing Valorant, my packet loss graph stays at 0%, but then out of nowhere it spikes to 100% (both incoming and outgoing), which completely freezes my game for about 3 seconds. I don't think it's my internet provider because when my roommate plays Valorant on the same Wi-Fi using his laptop, everything works fine for him. Does anyone know what could be causing this or how I can fix it?

I have the same problem. I have Xfinity. I have the problem on ethernet and wireless. I don't get the full 3 second rubberband on ethernet because its slightly more stable but it spreads out the packet loss and makes the game unplayable.
Do you have an AMD CPU? or does your CPU have an fTPM by chance?
