Holiday gaming spikes network congestion — not because servers fail, but because your PC competes with dozens of background apps for bandwidth. December’s surge in devices, uploads, syncs, and streams creates jitter that ruins matches even when ping looks fine. ExitLag’s new free Traffic Shaper update fixes this by letting gamers prioritize game traffic and throttle everything else, restoring stability during the busiest online weeks of the year.
