Game lag: how to prove the connection wobbled.

Lag mid-match is a story nobody confirms. Recorded latency, lost responses and a window of minutes around the exact moment are evidence you can attach.

The game shows the symptom, not the cause

The game shows teleporting and unregistered shots. It does not show whether the router answered that second, whether two external targets failed together, or whether the adapter dropped and came back. That is what decides between Wi-Fi and the link.

Mark without losing the match

One shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+L) marks the moment without taking your hand off the game for more than a second. Capture continues for two more minutes to catch the recovery, and the description can wait until after the match.

One factor at a time

Every report ends with one suggested next test — wired instead of Wi-Fi, a different DNS, another network. Change one variable at a time and compare with the previous record; otherwise the experiment proves nothing.

If the router wobbles along with the internet, start with the local path. Wi-Fi or internet: how to tell which one fails.
