When playing online games, not only the skill and equipment of the player, but also the speed of the connection to the servers are often decisive. With a high ping, the chances of winning are close to zero, so you can use one of several methods to lower it.
Instructions
Step 1
For the fastest possible connection to the game server, reduce to zero the number of programs using network access concurrently with the game application. Disable download managers, torrents, as well as messengers and browsers. Close both those applications that are in the explorer panel and those that are in the tray. Control their disabling using the task manager. Launch it and open the processes tab. After that, terminate the processes related to the closed programs. In addition, disable those processes that have the word update in their name - they are currently downloading updates.
Step 2
Minimize the load on the processor by disabling the maximum number of programs that are not currently needed. An overloaded processor is often the cause of high ping times. Disable programs running in the background and not needed at the moment. Proceed like the previous step: after closing the application, control its shutdown using the task manager. Also, tune your operating system for the best performance. Disable graphic effects, if necessary, close the explorer using the task manager.
Step 3
Along with the above factors, often the reason for the increased ping is the used video settings in the game, which are unnecessarily high. To optimize ping, reduce them to a minimum, and then gradually increase them. Pay special attention to the "advanced" tab in the settings - the most resource-intensive of them, as a rule, are located there. Disable them completely, then set the lowest resolution and gradually increase them until the first performance problems begin. After that, return to the last normally working settings and use this profile to play.
