Packet Loss in Online Games — Detect, Monitor, and Prevent Lag

Packet loss occurs when network packets fail to reach their destination. In online gaming, even a few percent can cause lag, missed inputs, or disconnects. UptyBots helps you detect packet loss before your players notice.

Causes of Packet Loss

• Network congestion on your server or ISP
• Faulty routers or firewalls blocking packets
• High CPU/memory usage on gaming servers
• Unstable VPN or cloud hosting networks

Monitoring Packet Loss with UptyBots

• Continuous ping and TCP checks
• Latency tracking and historical graphs
• Alerts when packet loss exceeds thresholds
• Global node monitoring to detect regional issues

Why It Matters

High packet loss affects player experience, causes frustration, and may result in losing your community. Early detection allows for corrective action, like adjusting server capacity, optimizing routes, or checking ISP issues.
