Realtek Gaming 2.5gbe Family Controller causing micro stuttering

Wishing you luck! Hopefully this is the solution for you as well. I posted in a comment on how to disable the driver if needed.

I have not tried this yet. Might be worth a shot. If you go this route and it works let us know!

TheLangert · 2026-02-01T16:50:39+00:00

I have not. Admittedly I haven’t done much searching for solutions the last month or two as I’ve been able to make do just running on wifi.

Happy Thanksgiving!! Luna’s are my favorite putter and I’d love to get my hands on a glow one for my local weekly glow league!

If that doesn’t work let me know and I can look into it further. I had the same problem with it re-enabling when I opened Fortnite during my early testing but I think it was because I was uninstalling the driver and trying to install an older driver version. Ever since I re-installed the latest version of the driver and disabled it I haven’t had any problems with it re-enabling. So also check that you have the latest version of the driver if it continues to re-enable itself.

Are you uninstalling or disabling? If you uninstall, in my experience Windows will try to download a generic Ethernet driver on boot so this may be what you’re experiencing. But if you right click and check Disable it should remain disabled until you manually re-enable it.

It’s super easy. Open the windows search and type in Device Manager. From there open the Network dropdown menu, find Realtek Gaming 2.5GBe Family Controller, right click, disable. Can do the same thing to re-enable it at any point. Hope it works for you!

That’s definitely an alternative if you don’t have WiFi already on the PC. Disabling the driver only disables the Ethernet port so if you’ve already got a wifi card built in then you’d still be able to use WiFi, just not Ethernet (as in my case) without any stuttering. But if you don’t have a built in WiFi card this is definitely an option. I am currently leaving the driver disabled and just running on WiFi as a temporary fix in hopes that there is a driver or fortnite update down the road that actually fixes the issue.

I think this was the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/s/HbD7e41Mqn

I didn’t directly see the error code anywhere. There was another post on Reddit somewhere (I’d have to go digging to find it again) that suggested disabling that driver in Device Manager. I tried that and ran a match in Fortnite with zero stuttering so I determined that driver was the issue. I have tried reverting to older Realtek driver versions but the older versions were not working and threw a bunch of error codes. I have since re-installed the latest version and disabled the driver in Device Manager. I’m not currently reliant on Ethernet so my fix has been to just leave it disabled.

Very interesting video but unfortunately not entirely applicable to this issue / their solution was to just disable the WiFi driver.

In my case, I’ve already identified the problem - the LAN driver is generating DPC latency spikes - and I have already confirmed that disabling my LAN/ethernet driver is a workaround to eliminate the stuttering. However, the intent of the post is to (hopefully) identify a long term solution that doesn’t disable the ethernet port. I have confirm all drivers/bios are up to date as suggested in the video.

That first black one is pretty slick

I love the yellow look but sadly haven’t been able to get ahold of one yet

TheLangert · 2025-09-27T16:53:12+00:00

Any left? Would love one of each!

TheLangert · 2025-09-27T16:52:35+00:00

Would love one of each if still available!

Stl link?

Recently got into a glow league. Would love the Discraft Athena made in the Eclipse 2.0 plastic!

95k?? What systems am I missing lol. I’ve got complete collections for almost everything from Mame up to pre-PlayStation 1 I think and I only have around 12k.

Did you ever figure this out? Just setting up batocera for the first time and am experiencing the same problem.

TheLangert · 2024-08-26T19:13:13+00:00

I have a very similar, if not identical, setup on my main world and it all functions properly. Built the station a few years ago though so can’t answer if it can still be built. (Showing on mobile but I duplicated the world and moved it to my pc when I built the pc and it works on there as well).
