Game 'lags / stutters' when playing online with my housemate (not LAN)...
Posted: 2019-12-16 20:17
So when I play on my own the game runs smoothly. If my housemate plays on his own the game runs smoothly (standard online play for both).
However if we both play at the same time the game stutters (like the server is being DDOS'd - but it's not I checked).
If we're both in the game and one alt tabs out, the stuttering gets better for the other player (this works both ways).
My housemate reckons it could be some weird issue around us both using the same connection etc
Does anyone have any idea what this might be? Definitely seems network related as we both have good PCs
Any help would be great thank you.
EDIT
Searching around it seems like it could be related to this NAT router issue as described by Eambo here: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/bo ... p?t=464756
Anyone any ideas? Thank you

So the issue was happening on HOG server, we tried SSG server to test the NAT theory and it seemed fine on SSG server. So I think the server HOG are using has disabled NAT setup etc and SSG have allowed it?
That's as far as we've come - not sure how to validate this theory? Thanks
Final Edit
Dev messaged me and suggested it's related to HOG server limiting packets per IP as a DDOS prevention measure. Which makes a lot of sense. Hopefully others don't have the same issue!
