Hello. I’m looking for assistance with a problem I’ve been facing lately. It started after setting up a regional server picker from a trusted YouTuber’s forum. Initially, it helped during a few matches, but soon I experienced extremely high ping—often over 100ms—across all servers. I followed the reset instructions before uninstalling, yet the issue persists on most servers I join. I’ve tried searching for similar complaints and haven’t found any solutions. Could someone else have encountered this problem? Thank you in advance. Forum link: http://csgo.gamebanana.com/tools/5684

It might not be the game itself, but your internet connection is likely the issue. Consider checking your speed with a Speedtest or Pingtest.

It's similar to playing an online game where the server picks a poor location. I'm based in the UK and have faced problems with German servers. It might be that my computer is limiting data usage to certain regions. I'm not very familiar with the technical details.

Partial resolution achieved. Avoid any family member purchasing an Amazon Fire TV stick. Impressive speed improvement from 200ms to 48ms after identifying the issue. Seeking advice on managing fire and other systems simultaneously—could be due to high bandwidth demands.

Amazon Fire uses your internet speed to stream videos, similar to YouTube in HD, resulting in heavy data usage. The only solution is to upgrade your internet plan or limit its use during gaming sessions. It’s been noted that this device consumes significant bandwidth, as observed during my research into potential family members who might have it.

Thanks in advance! When I hit 200ms or more, I immediately yell across the rooms, "Get off the Amazon Fire!!!" haha
