Enable high ping exclusively during CS:GO sessions.
Hey there, newcomer! I see you're diving into CS:GO and noticing your ping stays around 160-170ms during matches. That’s a bit high and can affect gameplay. I’ve checked some settings you mentioned—changing the matchmaking max ping to 50, closing programs, and running ipconfig commands—but it doesn’t seem to fix the issue. Playing on local servers closer to you gives you a much better ping, around 23ms, but it still fluctuates. You mentioned using wireless instead of Ethernet, which might help. If you’re open to it, let me know what you try next, and I’ll see if there’s a solution!
Consider switching to Ethernet if you experience high ping even without your brother online.
it's a solid connection. Theres no escape for the data inside it. Imagine having 100 jelly beans (bare with me here) and standing 20ft away from your router and trying to throw all of them to your router...some of them are going to get lost right? now imagine a tube going from the router to you 20 ft away..every jelly bean would make it to the router.... the tube being the Ethernet cable and the data being the jelly beans....I feel like I need an award for the worst metaphor ever..but you get my point right?
