  • Sorry its not ipv6 thats the issue. is traffic prioritization being enabled. which by default it is. and its causing my stream to lag. i disabled it and also allocated my streaming pc 6 mbps upload so far no problems. would traffic prioritzation being disabled effect my gaming experience on console if im playing online.

      How did you have Traffic Prioritization setup initially before you disabled it? You may just need to fine tune it instead to prioritize specifically the game if it was prioritizing part of the stream. It could cause jitter/spikes without it depending on your bandwidth speeds/the network queue at the time.

        i left traffic prioritzation on default settings. which is DumaOS classified games. i didnt touch it or play with it. i just disabled it and no more dropped frames.
