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.

things i tried

restarting.

Im using starlink so i tried to relocate the dish.

turning off firewall in my asus modem

turning off firewall in my pc

turning on and off qos

turning on and off ipv6

changing poton

I tried several ping checker and in my browser everything seem normal

For those who come after,

if youre here and you prob has the same issue, the fix for me was using a vpn. its not permanent fix but it works for me

If it’s consistently after 10 minutes, checkout journalctl to see if there’s anything funky happening at that time. FYI, I have Battle.net installed via Lutris and have no issues in Forever on stock Arch.
