Ping jumping up and down lately

[JorenBus]

Hello all,

 

I don't have the fastest internet here, which sucks. I've recently moved.

Until a week ago, I didn't really have any problems while playing CS:GO. My ping was always decent, and I had a really good experience, even though the internet sucks.

But since a few days ago, my game started lagging a lot.I got a stable 30 ping, then it increased to about 90, stays like that for a minute, then goes down again.

A minute later again the same: goes to 90, stays like that a minute, and then goes to 30 again.

This is really annoying, and makes my experience really laggy.

I also experience some sort of mix between minor teleporting and screen tearing.

What can I do about this? My FPS stays at around 300, so that's not the problem either.

 

Thanks

Screen tearing is caused by having a higher fps than your monitors refresh rate. Also your IP address is visible on the screenshot, you might want to blank that out.

I'm still trying to comprehend how people with 100 ping gets laggy? I could play Dota 2 with 180 ping and still be rekting m8's. Though, the screen tearing is a simply fix with v-sync. I believe that when the FPS goes above the monitor refresh rate, then it tears.

Still better then my internet

Dota is not a shooter though.

Edited, thanks for the heads up.

The strange thing is that I have been living here for a few months now, with the same setup and 300 FPS, and only now it starts screen tearing and lagging.

KPN, I live just across the border but I still consider myself Belgian

So would it solve the problem if I cap my FPS at 63 (60Hz monitor) ?

Did you disable auto-updates on your antivirus?

Did you try to reset your router AND modem?

Are you connected via Wi-Fi or by Ethernet?

I don't have any antivirus on my PC.

I'm connected via Ethernet.

I've also just tried capping my FPS to 63 and 65.

The game becomes completely unplayable then.

You should give them a call and tell them about your latency problems, they can run a few tests. Or just dump them all together and go with telenet

my results while there are about 5 pc's being used on my network.

Apparentely the server is too far from our house, that's why we can't have faster internet.

Can't go with telenet since I live just across the border

How can you NOT have a antivirus?! At least get Avast! Free antivirus or Avria. It could be a security issue. If you don't want a antivirus get something like Malwarebytes (the free version) so you can scan your computer. I also recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit (another free tool).

Did you try reseting your router AND modem?

Being so far away from the node might also be the reason why you're getting spikes in latency, it also explains your poor download/upload speed. Do you live in a rural or urban area?

Yup, rural area. And I didn't have this problem until a couple of days so...
