Download Speed Issue - Resolved

[DeeKay_FPS]

I just noticed disabling smart boost literally doubled my download. ( My connection speed is 500 MBPS ). I thought this was addressed in the new patch. Should I keep it off ? May I know what's the best settings.

What are your Congestion Control/SmartBOOST settings?

It feels the same.. I don't see any difference. Does smart boost imapct the game or ping ?

I did not touch the congestion control. My smart boost was enabled when I updated the software. I did not play with the smart boost settings at all. All I did was switch it off and the download speed is back to normal as provided by the ISP.

Please guide me how to configure it.

Did you run Ping Optimizer either during the wizard or after though as this would have set Congestion Control for you and would then potentially explain why as it does limit bandwidth speeds to eliminate lag/bufferbloat

[DeeKay_FPS]

I used the ping optimizer during wizard. But everything was done automatically by the OS.

Okay well that's probably why then, it lowers Congestion Control to eliminate lag. You can adjust this in Ping Optimizer > Advanced if you re-enable SmartBOOST

Thanks for your response. Do I have to crank the download and upload all the way up in expert settings under ping optimizer  ? Just looking for an optimal settings.

Expert relates to the Ping Optimizer test specifically. You'd have to re-enable SmartBOOST to adjust the Congestion Control sliders, if you're wanting full speeds then they should be at 100% but it won't combat bufferbloat set like that.
