Once you complete the best dns server and set a static ip, reboot your computer run minitoolbox again, post the log.

Alright I wont be around my pc for a couple more hours but Ill do that. Hopefully it makes a difference.

And sorry for the weird formatting. I originally tried to reply to your first comment before I saw the last one.

All good, update when you can.

For the last few days when I turn on my PC I get a firewall popup for either Microsoft Edge or Steam that says “some features of this app have been blocked”. I didnt think much of it but it just happened again for edge and then when I restarted my pc after the batch file it popped up but for Steam. I think it also happened with Brave browser once as well… I’ve checked the program files (86) folders for these programs and the executables look normal and not like " edge.exe.exe" or something fishy like that.. Not sure if that’s normal or not…

Stay tuned and Ill post that minitoolbox info for you.

The batch file resets the firewall, so prompts like this are normal.

And just an FYI, the USB device that is problematic is my USB gamepad. Often times when I turn my PC the controller doesn’t power on. (I have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to work.)

Ok, the static ip is set, and the DNS server is set to 1.1.1.1— 1..0.0.1

Those DNS servers are what the batch file set for you, is that what came up after running the tool listed in the guide here.

Better question is, how is the gameplay now?

Perhaps the graphics driver?

Open Msconfig then load the base video driver, reboot and test the game.

Wow, game feels much better. Hit detection feels better and no microstuttering.

I will say the game works intermittently so there’s a good chance in a couple games or in a day or 2 itll stop working, but I’ll update if it does.

[Jakeeer]

Ya unfortunately still experiencing the same problems
