My ping is very high?
Are you using a Ethernet connection? Ping time depends on many factors. Latency is the delay (ping time) in milliseconds that it takes the signal to travel to the server and back. The lower the number the better, but you'll definitely want a ping time of under 120 ms or you'll have major problems. Ideally you want less than 80 ms ping to the gaming server. Ping time increases with distance and number of connections. Your connection may have to be routed through 15 or 20 hops (different locations) to reach the gaming server. Each server has a delay (latency) due to the distances that the signals must travel. Try to choose a closer gaming server to lower your ping time. High traffic on a particular connection can also cause increased latency. Wireless ISPs such as satellite and cellular also experience high latency and wide fluctuation due to the distances involved and wireless interference . You can also experience gaming lag or disconnects from a poor WiFi connection between your computer or gaming device and the wireless router. Wireless signals are affected by many factors including wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc. Your latency (ping) may be 30 ms and wireless interference could cause it to spike to 200 ms or more. For serious gaming or video streaming your best bet is a direct Ethernet connection. Ethernet is unaffected by wireless interference and will give you a rock solid, stable network connection. If it is not feasible to run Ethernet cable the next best option would be a set of powerline network adapters http://isp1.us/reviews/netgear-xavb2101-powerline-adapter/ You plug one in by your router and one in the room where you need access and connect them to the devices with standard Ethernet patch cables. The network signals are transmitted over your existing home electrical wiring which will not be affected by wireless interference. There is still overhead in the connection but it is much more stable than WiFi. Good Luck...
My ping is way too high help!?
I used to go on servers and my ping was 60-80 with no lag at all. But now my ping is always no matter what over 500. I join a server for example attack on titan tribute game my ping starts off at 1000 then lowers to 500-800. I can barely do anything. I am no lagging no I'm not. The problem is the movements are late. I receive them not when I am supposed to. For example I die from nothing or something appears right next to me. I need help please. There are 2 computers in my home. One laptop and my computer.
Why does my Ping go so High?
Dont use internet while you're playing online. That's why it happens. And, your distance from the seerver also determines the ping. *guy below* 'more internet activity, higher ping' 999 is possible if the internet connection is slow.
Why am I the only one lagging in my house?
So, let's be absolutely clear on this.When everyone else in the house plays Counter Strike, they don't have a lag. It is only you, on your computer, that experiences lag when you play Counter Strike. When everyone else plays Counter Strike, they have no lag.Is this correct? And I mean, is this correct that Everyone plays Counter Strike? Because if it isn't.... when you say that everyone has a good connection and ping, you MUST be talking about how everyone has a good connection to the same server you are connecting to, and everyone else must have a good ping to the same server you are connecting to.Otherwise, if you are comparing their connection to Facebook to your connection to the CS server of your choice... then there's nothing to compare, and you've got no evidence that proves your lag is specific and unique to you. How do you fix it? You don't even know *IF* you have a problem. What other games do you play, that experience the same lag? If this is a problem that you can fix, then this problem would persist over multiple different games. If the problem is ONLY with CS:GO, then it could be the servers you choose to play on.So. Start testing. Install CS on someone else's computer in the house, and see if they really do get lag like you do. See if this lag persists in games other than CS. Play from somewhere else in the house. Play on a wired ethernet connection (Go and buy an ethernet cable if you have to).How can you fix it? First determine if it really is a problem you can fix... aka... do the things in the previous paragraph.
Would connecting a laptop to a PC tower increase game performance?
It could actually make your game performance worse, here's why: When you connect your laptop to another machine, you create a "bottleneck" at the connection point. No network connection type will run as fast as the internal bus on either machine meaning your data can only transfer between the machines as fast as your network connection will allow rather than at the bus speed of the faster machine. Hence, you end up with a data rate that is slowed by your network connection. The best way to increase game performance is one or more of the following upgrades: A faster CPU, more RAM, a better video card (faster chip, more and/or faster video memory), and faster storage (usually HDD) that has faster data access rates.
Windows 10 High ping at random times?
Hi there! I upgraded my laptop from Windows 8 to Windows 10 a few months ago and ever since then, my wifi ping has been jumping from a regular 5/10 up to 2000 randomly at any given time for about 2 minutes, and then dropping down again. After further investigating this and looking into it, messing around with my wifi adapter settings and such, I couldn't find the problem. Even so after checking task manager and killing a bunch of tasks that could be using the internet but the issue still occured. I've narrowed it down that it's not an issue with an application interfering, virus etc. but probably the wifi adapter, driver or windows 10 itself. What I find quite weird as well is that everytime I move downstairs in my house with my laptop my ping goes very high when I have it rested on the table, and when the ping goes high I hold the laptop up a little bit and the ping fixes itself again. I have no idea why it does that, my router is no further then 10/20 feet away and yet whenever it's in a specific position it has quite high ping until I move it. I'm all out of ideas on how to resolve this or whats causing it so any help would be appreciated, thanks!
