Getting kicked from matches for no reason

[TigerHunter22]

Most matches i play i load in, then i drive around for all of 5 seconds and then i get very high Packet Loss (60%+) and i get kicked back to the menu for no apparent reason.
There are no error messages or any given reason for this.
It gives me a crew lock and no possibility to rejoin the match.
I have tested my connection and i am not the cause of this, my connection gives me 11 ping and 5Mb/s download so thats not our culprit.
Specs: Windows 11, rtx3080, ryzen7 9800x3d, 32gb trident z ram 6000mhz, gigabyte x870a aorus elite, 360mm AIO, 4tb m2ssd.
I have all the latest drivers, even the latest bios update.
The pc runs fine in all other games and is nowhere near thermal problems.
This seems to be a bug with the game itself.
Any help?

Are you using Wifi? Sounds like using a wireless connection while someone in the kitchen turns on an old microwave.

1. If you are using Wi-Fi, switch to Ethernet or, if not possible, monitor it for interference and turn it off/adjust the settings.

2. Perform a tracert

3. check if an application in the background might cause this

4. Follow this:

I have an ethernet cable connected but use wifi as a backup if need be. The connection has not been unstable at all, its sitting happily at 10ms/5mb/s.
I still went through the steps you highlighted though, i will see if it makes a difference.

This (10ms/5mb/s) is only good between your modem/router and the nearest node of your ISP(usually this is within 1 klm distance). It DOES NOT track your connection from machine to game server. ONLY tracert does this. Ping will only tell you if you can 'reach' a server. It is our experience with these things that the issue is usually with a transit server.

The weird thing is that everything else i play that's multiplayer is not having any issues whatsover...
I can play escape from tarkov with no issues for example, ping is not a problem there and is roughly the same as i have in war thunder, that being 10-30ms.
I have now tried a variety of methods from checking game integrity, new drivers, allowing WT through windows defender and the firewall, switching to ethernet cable, switching servers to all possible options in game and deleting the chache.
Nothing has worked.

Yep. that is why is is likely to be a connection issue. If it is random, or others are not impacted then it is more likely to be this issue. War Thunder has a huge amount of data that moves back and forth between server and client(player machine). Many ppl here do not appreciate this and often cite other games that they 'claim' are more resource hungry. Many of the games they cite, I also play and often know this to not be the case. But what the hey, folks are entitled to their own opinions. :)

IF it were code based, then it is highly likely we would all have it. There are a number of articles on the Gaijin forums and to some extent here, where I have discussed this,

for now it seems to be very random, some matches i load in fine, PL at 50% for a few seconds and then its all fine, and other i wont even load in the match. I'm gonna send a ticket to support with all my connection data to see if theres anything that can be done. Thanks for the help anyways

Don't forget that there are several conflicts going on right now. Internet nodes, data cables and satellites are legitimate targets in modern hybrid warfare and are often sabotaged at the moment. When the main deep sea cable between Asia and Africa was cut off by the Houthis a few months ago, there were many people who complained about the poor connection and "Gaijins bad servers".
A game that requires more bandwidth will be more affected than other games.
Such incidents are also occurring in Europe at the moment, albeit on a smaller scale.

This is just an assumption, but if the problem is not on your end, this could be the cause.

i found a temporary solution, it seems EU servers were the cause, playing on US servers has my PL spike at the start, but it gets back down to normal quickly and i don't get kicked :D

I found the culprit, it would seem that war thunder specifically does not like my ethernet cable. Other games are fine, but switching to wifi somehow solved the problem for war thunder.

That is coincidence. There would be no capability within War Thunder to do what you seem to assert.

A coincidence perhaps, but nothing else worked. so i assume that's the culprit. More than likely my specific ethernet cable is not up to standard for my new motherboard. Who knows.
