sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

Recently i switched to steam os on my pc, installed battle net and everything went smoothly. I played in beta and i dont have issue but when i play on live my ping would shoot to 1000 to 4000. and it only smooth on the first 10 minutes or so. I dont know what else i should do so any help is appreciated.

Im using starlink so i tried to relocate the dish.

    Is world latency high, home latency high, or both? Also if you leave a ping running in the terminal (like to 1.1.1.) Is there a matching latency increase with when you see the performance drop?

    I’m also playing WOW Forever on Linux but I’m doing so via Lutris and fiber. So it’s definitely possible. Just need to figure out the bottleneck you’re hitting.

      sometimes world. sometimes home. sometimes both. but never dip below 500.

      ping 1.1.1.1 is consistent around 20 to 30 ms

    Maybe do a traceroute to the wow server and check what gives latency. It could just be bad service from Starlink which after all is a satellite link.

    Last time I go a very wild issue with proton, I sent all the proton logs to an AI, it honestly found the issue I had (my ISP router had failed to setup IPv6). All my game starting in steam would take a minimum of 30sec to stary. It was proton trying to download ressources over IPv6 and long timeouts.

    Also if you are on Linux you need to say what distribution ypi are using. Alpine or cachyos is a very different environment.
