Freezing every few seconds

[DanielRabbit]

Hello.

I play perpheads but every few seconds it freezes me for some whatever reason.

Here is a clip. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/j41YuM1bFOlRGjScS?invite=cr-MSxvRkksMTg4MzE2MDQ3LA

Next time this happens, please record it but ensure you've enabled net_graph 3 in console, not net_graph 1

Run a continuous ping to your router in the background on cmd

ping 192.168.0.1 -t
If 192.168.0.1 isn't your router's gateway, find it by running ipconfig and pinging the given 'Default Gateway' and adding -t at the end to make it continuous

When the stuttering happens, does your ping to your router spike?

Running Smooth as of on average 8 ms

That just looks like server side, not player side.
The server tends to do this a bit during a high pop.

In that case it's probably a routing issue from your ISP to the server, the clip you provided indicates packet loss (network issue)

You could try seeing if this is an internet issue altogether by perhaps running a continuous ping to 8.8.8.8 in the background too, although if restarting your router and getting assigned a new ip doesn't fix your issue I'd suggest using a vpn. If you are going to use a vpn I suggest going with Mullvad, and yes you're allowed to use a vpn on the server

That just looks like server side, not player side.

This sort of stuttering never happens to me, even when the server is at 128

What I am assuming as well

In addition to what @Exana said, you could also try (contingent on your ISP) manually setting your DNS to one other than that prescribed by your ISP.

A few publicly available options are: Google, Cloudflare, OpenDNS, Cisco Umbrella and Control D.

I personally use Cloudflare's. If you aren't able to do it in your router (which would set it for all connected devices that have Automatic DNS enabled) then you can set it for just your computer: https://one.one.one.one/dns/

Archive. My packet loss issue is gone however no suggestion here to fix it did not work. It was just over time it improved.
