As soon as my game fires up my internet connection essentially more than halves. This does not happen when loading the game, but it instantly happens as soon as the game opens and the amazon games logo shows up. It also ends the very second I quit the game.
I have searched the forums for people with similar problems and, among others, tried the solutions given by support in topic 267312, nothing worked.
As recommended on other topics:
I’m using a wired connection and my pc doesn’t even have wireless capability.
Restarted + unplugged pc and router.
Nothing downloading or running in the background.
Made sure lost ark had a firewall exception on both private and public networks.
Updated everything on windows update and made sure I had the latest drivers on my network adapter under device manager.
No packet loss at any point (even when the game is up and my connection has slowed down).
No VPN or Proxy.
Flushed DNS + reseted winsock catalog.
Tried a different DNS server.
Nothing of the above worked so here I am, if anyone thinks of anything else I can do please do tell, thanks.
