Posted May 2, 2015 Hey, I am new to the forums so bare with me. I have been playing CS:GO for a while and I have noticed that when I get on a competitive match my ping always rises to about a constant 160-170ms ping. This ONLY happens when playing CS:GO. I have tried changing the max ping matchmaking to 50, I have tried closing everything while playing and doing ipconfig /release / ipconfig /renew. Sometimes my ping lowers but then I get a huge spike to like 200 for 1 second and then it lowers to 30 every once in a while. When I play on community servers closer to me I am playing 23ms but then rises up to 140ms for about 1 second and goes back to 20ms. I don't really know what's happening but I'd like to see if there's a fix to it.

I kept searching for hours and never found a fix, Cheers! Oh, and if it helps I play wireless, not ethernet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 2, 2015 tldr but you should set maxping to like 100 and then it will only connect to servers who have a ping of 100 or less.

Posted May 2, 2015 Probably dues to other peoples connection too.If it just spikes for a second I wouldn't worry about it.I don't experience this though.Do you have any other programs open that could be hogging your bandwidth or anything?

If you are playing on the same network then this could be the cause, you wouldn't have to be in the same match or even playing the same game for it to cause these spikes. Also are you using wired or wireless mate?

Posted May 2, 2015 Author Ethernet all the way mate for sure. I'd like to know, what are the advantages of having ethernet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 2, 2015 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?

Posted May 2, 2015 I do, so basically I'm getting all the connection I need? Yep, an Ethernet has pretty much no data loss. Personally I would never game wireless and a lot of people on here wouldn't to. It's just so inconsistent. Switch to Ethernet and you will have a much better experience. It's rock solid and you will never go back I7 4790K-----ASUS Z97-A-----GTX 1080-----CORSAIR H105-----CORSAIR VENGEANCE PRO 16GB-----ASUS PG278Q-----LOGITECH G900-----MASTERKEYS PRO L-----Sennheiser GSX 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 2, 2015 What router do you have and how far away from you is it? What bandwidth? If you have a low speed adsl network then Ethernet cable will help, if that's not practical then a powerline adapter would be preferable over wireless. Your wireless adapter supports dual band but if you've an old router it won't be doing much good. And have you tried re downloading?

Posted May 3, 2015 What do you mean this only happens with CS:GO? To what other servers have you been testing for latency fluctuations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 3, 2015 Not sure how to find out my bandwidth... and no, haven't tried re-installing.I mean what is your broadband "speed" in Mbps.If you've tried all else just download it again and see if that helps somehow.

Posted May 3, 2015 I play wireless, but even when my brother isn't on I SOMETIMES get high ping, Should I try ethernet and see if that works? I used to play on wireless as well, literally every single one of my problems disappeared when I started using a Ethernet cable instead. Its really worth it.

Posted May 3, 2015 I know for League of Legends there's a way to check for packet loss (basically bad connection route choosing which is why services like WTFast work, sometimes) Maybe you could find a packet analyzer for CS:GO EDIT: For the love of god use Ethernet.
