I made a post complaining about high ping spikes being more worse than usual and I have seen a few others too.
Ping occasionally spiked from 30-80 to like 300-800 etc. Checking your internet no issues. Hardware fine etc etc.
Play other games, no ping all good etc.
After digging into the guts of the internet i seen a post on this very forum made a few years ago from someone who has exact same issue but offered a fix that worked.
Now before I begin, I am no computer guy.
I have no clue at how or why it works but it worked for me! So i feel its my duty to share incase others like myself have issues.
POTENTIAL FIX
In my instance. I had mozilla firefox open in background. No web page, but just active on my hotbar.
I actually uninstalled it completely and cleared my cache and cookies using disk cleanup.
Jumped back into SOT and didnt even get a single stutter nevermind a ping spike.
Totally bizarre, no clue why it worked but it did!
Give it a try if you are having these issues and report back.
Thanks for stopping by.
