[Help] Big increase of rubber-banding while playing online multiplayer games in the past week. (self.steamdeck)

Hey there, in the past week I've noticed my steam deck having way more issues with rubber-banding while playing online multiplayer games. I tested the same games on a laptop and no issues there. The steam deck is up to date as well. Any other ideas where I can check to see what might be causing this issue?

Just a wild guess: are you using the 5ghz or 2.4ghz Wifi? 5ghz is way faster but very fidgety with larger distance to the router, walls in the way or other routers nearby.

So, maybe you can troubleshoot your way out:

play as close as possible to the router using 5ghz and see if problems persist
check if changing to 2ghz makes a difference
use a network analyser on your phone to check if others use the same band as you, which might disrupt your connection. If so, check your router settings to change band to another one

Good luck!

Thanks, I’ll force the steam deck to only use the 2.4ghz band with this wifi and see how that works out. This place put the gateway connection in one corner and I’m on the other side of the house.
