Bad Ping?

#1

Post by Adagio »

So guys!

I've been playing CS:GO online recently... And realised one thing...
My ping sucks...

It's usually between 80-120 on a good day, that's bearable...

But then sometimes it goes as high as 950+

What can I do about this?

It'll probably be better when the church bites the bullet on the streaming deal we got planned...
(4MB Up and Down with a 3:1 ratio on ISP side, so HIGH Priority line...)
But anyone got a temp solution?

It depends on your connection speed, distance from server, line quality and such. There's not too much you can do about those. Maybe others know more but I would guess the most you can do is try at times when there are fewer people online (in general) and to play when there is no other use of your internet connection (no downloads or other people browsing while you play).

Edit: You can see here how server influences my ping for Dota 2. It also suggests you really have a problem with your ping. o.o

Sometimes high ping can be caused by software, but I highly doubt that this is the case for you. Sorry bud, you'll just have to wait for that streaming deal...
