Inconsistent net jitter roughly every 30 seconds

[Neonity]

Every 30 seconds give or take, my game momentarily loses connection before fixing itself. The net jitter graph then looks like the following:


It goes back to normal immediately after.

I've tried everything from reverting last night's Windows update, reinstalling GPU drivers, restarting the PC itself, tried playing on WiFi, tried a mobile hotspot, reinstalled the game and even tried moving it to a different SSD. Nothing fixed it. I am at a loss for what to do.

This does not occur in any other game and connections to programs such as Discord are perfectly stable. It appears isolated to Deadlock at a glance.

Western Europe.

Have you resolved it yet?

Are you sure this is related to Deadlock only? Because there is random news about the cables under the channel and stuff.

Nope.

Only occurs in Deadlock. Every other online game is perfectly fine.

Samesamesame, I have same pattern of net jitter. Game just freezes suddenly, zero nothing green on graph and then high red spike (long or thin) with kinda fixed interval. I play on EU as well.

Logged in this forum for the first time since 2024 just to say that I'm dealing with the same issue ever since Silver got into the game. EU servers are really bad: just when you think it's over it slaps you again right in the middle of a fight. And here you are - stuck mid-air not knowing the hell is going on.

Im on east coast US servers and have inconsistent net jitter as well, and saw people on twitter talking about it too. This is an issue that's happening on and off for me, some days its not happening at all and sometimes i cant play for hours because it happens every 12 seconds.

I've been playing consistently since first 6 heroes update and this has started happening to me w old gods new blood update. Its very frustrating and i dont know how to fix it, nothing works, it just randomly decides whether to jitter or not to jitter

same exact issue on Sydney OCE. Game is completely unplayable as my net jitters are going berserk. It seems especially bad in teamfights.
