how do i fix unplayable ping spikes
i've been playing games and have experienced immense lag spikes to the point where i am kicked out of every single match or server i play in. everyone freezes for 10-15 seconds and i get kicked out of the match i am in. these are my ookla speedtest results so i don't know what my problem is. i am almost always in a discord call with my friends and never get disconnected from there, only from games. it's a 1/10 chance i get kicked out of call as well. not sure what my problem is since windows says my wifi drivers are up to date. i have a 9070xt and my driver version is the one before the most recent one. i DID have the same problem with the most recent drivers, and i only switched to older ones because i saw people suggest it and say that the newest drivers can be buggy. when i don't get disconnected, my ping spikes 50-100 more than it actually is.
