Do these spikes last long? I've never faced problems similar to your's so can't really say anything. All I know is that this must be something connection related.

The ping jumps from normal to 250-300ms and then starts dropping till it reaches normal ping again... all of this in 1-3secs (based on in game scoreboard)

The rubber banding/telerporting problem (caused from the ping spike) lasts few secs more than that

Do you face these only using VC:MP?

If that is the case, perhaps you could try using an alternative client, there's a few modified ones people use.

Ye so far i only got it on VC:MP and once on SA:MP... on all other games i never experienced this

Would you mind linking some of these modified clients? If it's not possible here send them links in PM, thanks

Hi all

I am having some weird ping spikes problem with VC:MP... at random times my ping increases (+100ms/+200ms) and i start getting rubber banding all around till it gets back to normal
Few times i didnt get it at all but mostly i get this multiple times during game session and i get it in all servers i tried

I recently bought new PC and i think that's the problem... i tried to play on the old PC and it's all fine there, so i assume it's not itnernet's fault

I tried to:
- set gta-vc.exe affinity to 1 core
- disable visual effects in gta-vc.exe's compatibility options
- run it with Win98 compatibility mode
- set windows classic theme in desktop
- close all internet using apps

All of the above are possible solutions i found on the internet for vcmp/samp ping spikes/rubber banding problem... but none of them helped

SO, how to fix?

Thanks in advance
