my game is really fast in midnight but slow in morning
my game is really fast in midnight but slow in morning
my games, like Call of Duty or Battlefield, it runs extremely fast and smooth at night, from around 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. I have no idea why, even though my internet connection seems quite strong when I test it. I have tested Internet in the morning and at midnight: at night it reaches about 900 Mbps, but after 6 a.m. it drops to around 700 Mbps. Could this be the reason? I’ve done a lot to improve my performance, enabled XMP, tweaked every possible BIOS options people recommended, installed all drivers, and subscribed to the fastest internet plan, but almost none of that makes a difference. Only at night I play like a pro, my K/D is extremely high, and I’m always ranked first or second, with a K/D ratio of 3 or 4. After 6 a.m, though, everything starts feeling slower and unresponsive, and my K/D drops drastically to about 1–1.5. I’ve tried using ExpressVPN and Exitlag, which helped a little, but it never feels as smooth and responsive as when I play at night. I’ve even moved twice and used two different ISPs, but the exact same issue appears. I'm wondering could the real reason is because of my PC, or is it the internet?

No much Options left...
Welcome to Input Lag.
Where People search for the Fix for Years.
But you can count yourself as a lucky "People" cause your Issues only starts After 6 a.m..? and at Night like some improvement again yes and the good muscle memory SKILL returns and you start to play again like a S1mple NPC and destroy everyone or most ? Like if someone clicked Light Switch and everything start to work good again ?

Some People have 24/7 only bullshit or very much unplayable state and living with that for Years without even realize why they can't improve and still sucking and nothing changes much for them...
So enjoy what you have right now...and start worry if you get it for 24/7 and when everything goes rly bad and you turn into an really BOT player and start to lose your SKILL completely from one day to another...very fast...and notice that it is unplayable this way and not more even enjoyable for your mental and mind...and if it starts to happen in other Online Games too and same or similar bad patterns...
And where you start to see all the details and real unfairness and the distadvantage in all that...

Re: my game is really fast in midnight but slow in morning
There exist People who search for Ideal State and want become like Donk or some Streamer who have it perefect like always and huge advantage but this all is bullshit talk...
Many of People who rly suffer Issues here and these who I know...only just want know if everything was fairplay and want know if they was killed the right way and that everything was the correct way and without bullshit and so that it's explainable....
Many has Hitreg/Damage Issues and this is real and many feel like they are 0,5sec behind Enemy on Server without a Chance or against just some Randoms and don't matter what they try or do against that...and nothing like helps to counter that and them...and you feel like NOOB again...who can't do nothing against that ?
Is that what you start experience in the early morning and after 6 am ? And such Enemies ? Which seems are unkillable or some of them ? And you start to lose in many 1vs1 situations but where you was for 99% sure that it was and should be your KILL ? And where your muscle memory like messed up and don't works more like before and you can't adapt again for that moment ? Such kind of Issue ?
Or what kind of ISSUE and disadvantage you start to experience ? Pls try describe it some better if you can or just post some Clips where you feel and think is the problem the most for you and where you see it...
or you only start feel that your game becomes slow and nothing more than that ? and you feel that reason of why your KAD changes to bad and drop ?
You need first to clear figure out what kind of ISSUE you rly have and what you see on your Display and compare with others and post some examples....so we all can see the difference or just something...
Only after and maybe some People with knowledge can maybe and gonna help you with that and this Online Gaming Problem in COD, BF...

Re: my game is really fast in midnight but slow in morning
To be honest, I’ve read quite a lot of posts here, but even now I still can’t clearly determine whether the cause is my electricity or my internet. However, the fact that everything works perfectly during a specific time, which is around midnight, when fewer people are using the network and electrical devices so makes me certain it’s related to one of the two.themagic wrote: ↑08 Oct 2025, 12:28There exist People who search for Ideal State and want become like Donk or some Streamer who have it perefect like always and huge advantage but this all is bullshit talk...

I’m quite sure about this, and it’s not just a “something feels off” kind of thing, because my K/D ratio is always extremely high at midnight. I move faster, react instantly, and have enough time to kill the enemy before they kill me. But in the morning, it’s completely different, I die before I can even do anything.
In COD, I’ve faced players with very high levels, yet I can easily beat them at night. But once it’s after 6 a.m., I can’t play like that anymore. I usually play with foreign players whose time zones differ from mine, so it’s not that I’m always playing with people who stay up late like me. I have image comparisons of my K/D in COD BO6 which is a game need speed to take down enemies, and in the midnight, it's 2x time higher than I play in the daylight.
I have image of my K/D in COD BO6, a game that heavily relies on speed to take down opponents as proof. and this can only happen when I play at midnight.

Than you are not a very smart person if it takes you ages to plug off your ethernet and play few hours of bot games to determine if it is indeed internet problem or something else.Kyousuke wrote: ↑08 Oct 2025, 19:48To be honest, I’ve read quite a lot of posts here, but even now I still can’t clearly determine whether the cause is my electricity or my internet.

Re: my game is really fast in midnight but slow in morning
@MaleGigolo
This guy right...
Test what happens for you if Offline and against Bots and if this Option exist...
If Offline and against Bots you see nothing wrong and feel okay...then you can be sure that your ISSUE is ISP or Local Network and something here goes wrong much...
Like there no much Options left more and electricity is completely bullshit theory and proofed by nothing and no one still show that it is the real case....
Same like with PC Hardware Theory...and if you already tried completely other Hardware and still saw no changes and same bad...
Like wtf and there no more Options left for you and what you can try.....

Re: my game is really fast in midnight but slow in morning
Oh, you think I haven’t already tested both power and internet conditions? I’ve run my PC on a battery setup, and the difference was night and day, the screen became sharper, the motion smoother, and Battlefield 1 ran flawlessly fast. I also tried ExpressVPN, which helped a bit, but nothing came close to the improvement from running on battery power and at the midnight.MaleGigolo wrote: ↑08 Oct 2025, 19:58Than you are not a very smart person if it takes you ages to plug off your ethernet and play few hours of bot games to determine if it is indeed internet problem or something else.Kyousuke wrote: ↑08 Oct 2025, 19:48To be honest, I’ve read quite a lot of posts here, but even now I still can’t clearly determine whether the cause is my electricity or my internet.

I’ve spent over $5000 upgrading my entire rig, and none of the hardware or software tweaks made a real difference. The only two things that ever did were electricity and internet quality.
So maybe you’re the one lacking both knowledge and firsthand experience, because if you had any, you wouldn’t be talking like that. I thought you guys might actually have a solution, but if you don’t, then do everyone a favor and keep your mouth shut instead of pretending to know something.

Do you really think playing with bots is the same as playing online?
What we’re comparing here is the input delay between different types of gameplay — and I’ve already tested using a VPN to reduce ping as well as running my setup on a battery, both of which made improvements.
So what if both factors seem to help, and I can’t be entirely sure which one is the true cause?
There are plenty of people out there who have tested everything just like I did, yet none of them can pinpoint the real cause.
So tell me, how can you be so confident that your method is the accurate one?
Re: my game is really fast in midnight but slow in morning
@Kyousuke sry man...
but thats the the trick...
and many here don't know what fix is and what gonna help and right now and specially in your case and im telling you only the full truth right now and no blabla bullshit...
no one knows...
there are no magic fix or something that can improve or anything...
people here are fucked same as you with similar issues and some even worse...
and many want too understand how and why things happens and how it works...
и типа в чем фишка ? like, what's the trick ?
Or like in my case Problem: How to get normal online gaming again and like bofore 2018/2019 ??? And go back to this stable state time and whre everything worked somehow normal and for me ???
no one knows...and how...lol
and yes maybe we or me are lacking knowledge...
this chance very possible too.
but you already figure it out by yourself....

I also think I won’t find the real answer until I move to another country or at least to a better house, because I’ve already lived in two different houses and used two different ISPs.themagic wrote: ↑08 Oct 2025, 21:36@Kyousuke sry man...

The thing is, you guys mock me because you assume I haven’t tested any of this, but I’ve spent two years trying everything, from software tweaks to hardware changes. Some things worked for a short time, but the issue always came back.
The only times I’ve truly felt smooth, fast gameplay were after moving to a new place and playing late at night, that’s when everything runs incredibly well. I can’t completely fix the power quality, but if it’s the network, then maybe there’s some software or tweak that could help, which is why I was hoping it was the network’s fault.
However, even though VPNs or ExitLag do improve things a bit, it’s still never the same as playing at night. So it’s very likely that both power and network are major factors affecting my gameplay, not just one of them, but both together.
