When playing online, one of the most important indicators is ping. Ping is the time it takes for information to reach the server and back. To increase it, you can use one of several simple methods.
Instructions
Step 1
The main factors affecting the ping speed are the connection speed, the load on the existing network connection channel, as well as the load on the computer and the game settings. By influencing each of these parameters, you can decrease or increase the ping.
Step 2
The most effective way to significantly affect the speed of an existing connection is to change the speed of the network access channel. This is possible if the tariff plan is changed. To reduce ping, choose the fastest tariff plan; accordingly, to increase, choose the slowest option for connecting to the network.
Step 3
You can also reduce the speed allocated for the game by running downloads in the download managers, as well as in the torrent clients that you have available, to the maximum speed. When using these applications, not only give the highest priority for active downloads, but also remove the speed limit, if it is set. Remember that the more programs use your network connection, the higher the ping.
Step 4
Configure the operating system you are using for maximum visual effects. Run simultaneously with the game programs that require a large amount of system resources. In this case, the load on the computer will be so great that the ping will be much higher than normal.
Step 5
Set the maximum options for the video settings in your game. This action has the same effect as the previous step, placing additional strain on the computer. Accordingly, in order to reduce ping, you will need to minimize the load on the computer, minimizing the video settings in the game and the number of applications running simultaneously with the game.
