For over two years I have played League of Legends<\/a> with over 300ms ping. However, I finally decided to fix this unbearable ping and stop acting like a noob. It wasn\u2019t easy, but after loads of research, community interactions, chatting with multiple game support representatives, and some experiments<\/strong>, I managed to lower by ping to as low as 70ms.<\/p>\n

If you have a perfectly fine internet<\/a>, but you are still facing high ping<\/strong> while playing your favorite online game, then this post is for you. In the following, I\u2019ll share some ways to reduce ping in online games<\/strong> and bring back sanity to your gaming.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> I have divided the article into two sections. Firstly, I\u2019ll share tips and tricks to reduce ping, if you always face high ping while playing a game<\/strong>, then this section will help you.<\/p>\n

Secondly, I\u2019ll share problems with your PC or network that could be affecting your ping. If your ping was fine but recently started surging<\/strong>, then the second section should help you.<\/p>\n

Reducing High Ping<\/h2>\n

Several factors, beyond just your internet connection, can influence your ping. Let\u2019s address these factors:<\/p>\n

Connect Using an Ethernet Cable<\/h3>\n

An Ethernet cable connection is typically recommended for online gaming. This is because WiFi connections can be affected by various real-world interferences<\/strong>, such as nearby electronic devices, walls, and even the distance from the router. A direct connection via an Ethernet cable eliminates these interferences<\/strong>, ensuring optimal speed.<\/p>\n

\"Ethernet<\/figure>\n

You can use the Ethernet cable provided with your router. If you\u2019ve misplaced it, you can purchase a new one for under $5<\/strong>. However, ensure you invest in a quality cable, like the Monoprice Ethernet cable<\/strong><\/a>, which is durable and rated for 600MHz speed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can disable your router\u2019s WiFi and connect via Ethernet<\/strong>. Since router interfaces vary, I can\u2019t provide exact instructions. However, as a hint, access your router\u2019s settings<\/strong><\/a> and search for the Disable WiFi<\/strong> option within the WiFi settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Disabling<\/figure>\n

Eliminate Bandwidth Consumers<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re gaming over WiFi, consider disabling WiFi on all other connected devices<\/strong>. Another device or app using your network can increase ping by consuming essential bandwidth. It\u2019s crucial to turn off WiFi on these devices, as background processes might still use bandwidth.<\/p>\n

Additionally, close all applications on your PC and ensure no background apps are consuming resources<\/strong>. In Windows, you can check the taskbar and the task manager ( Ctrl<\/span> + Shift<\/span> + Esc<\/span> ) in the processes section to monitor background activities.<\/p>\n

Select the Appropriate Server<\/h3>\n

The distance between your location and the game server<\/strong> largely determines your ping. The farther you are from the server, the higher your ping will be. To address this, choose a server closest to your location<\/strong> and create an account there. Fortunately, game servers are often named after their geographic locations, simplifying the selection process.<\/p>\n

You can also reach out to the game\u2019s player support team<\/strong> for assistance in migrating your account. In my experience, most of my ping improvements occurred after I switched to a server in a neighboring country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Consider a Gaming VPN<\/h3>\n

While VPNs can sometimes slow down internet connections, they can also enhance connection quality. Your ISP might be throttling your connection or routing you through congested networks<\/strong>. In such cases, a gaming VPN might be beneficial.<\/p>\n

Although I\u2019ve never used a gaming VPN, many players have reported up to a 70% improvement in ping with one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"VyprVPN<\/figure>\n

Regrettably, there are no reliable free gaming VPNs currently available<\/strong>. However, I recommend VyprVPN<\/strong><\/a>, which offers a free trial, allowing you to determine its effectiveness for your needs. Alternatively, check out this post on the best free VPNs<\/a> we posted earlier.<\/p>\n

Utilize PingEnhancer<\/h3>\n

This handy tool is ideal for Windows users. PingEnhancer<\/strong><\/a> makes several adjustments to the Windows registry to increase the frequency of TCP packet acknowledgments<\/strong>, slightly enhancing ping.<\/p>\n

What does it do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without delving into technical details, it compels the network to verify every transferred data packet<\/strong>, enhancing connection accuracy. While this can improve ping, it might reduce overall internet speed<\/strong> due to the increased number of packets being scanned.<\/p>\n

How to use it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the tool and click on the Optimize<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n
  2. Then, restart your PC<\/strong>, and your connection will be optimized.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By following these steps, I reduced my ping by 25-30ms<\/strong> without noticing a decrease in overall internet speed. If you encounter issues, consider using PingEnhancer only before gaming sessions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Resolving High Ping Issues<\/h2>\n

    If you\u2019ve recently begun experiencing high ping or it occurs sporadically<\/strong>, the issue might stem from your network or PC configurations. Here are some potential solutions:<\/p>\n

    Perform a Clean Boot<\/h3>\n

    Recently, I encountered ping spikes (up to 5000ms) due to a background service<\/strong> associated with the Sandboxie tool. Fortunately, a clean boot resolved the issue by disabling the problematic service. You might be facing a similar situation.<\/p>\n

    A clean boot deactivates all third-party startup applications<\/strong> and services that could be affecting your ping. Refer to this Microsoft support article to learn how to perform a clean boot in Windows.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

    Ensure Your PC and Router Aren\u2019t Overheating<\/h3>\n

    Overheating can cause lag spikes in both PCs and routers. Here\u2019s what you can do:<\/p>\n

    For an Overheating Router:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If your router remains on continuously, it\u2019s common for it to heat up<\/strong>. Simply turn it off for 15-30 minutes and then power it back on. If it overheats quickly again, it might be a hardware issue. Consider having the router inspected or replaced.<\/p>\n

    For an Overheating PC:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    There are various strategies to cool down an overheated PC<\/strong>. I\u2019ve compiled a comprehensive guide on how to prevent a PC from overheating<\/strong><\/a> that you can consult.<\/p>\n

    Update All Drivers<\/h3>\n

    Hardware drivers, especially graphics and network adapter drivers<\/strong>, play a crucial role in PC gaming. Ensure all your PC drivers are up-to-date.<\/p>\n

    While you can update drivers manually, I recommend using third-party software like IObit Driver Booster<\/strong><\/a>. This tool will automatically identify and replace outdated or corrupted drivers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"Updating<\/figure>\n

    Clean Your PC<\/h3>\n

    Over time, PCs accumulate unnecessary data that can degrade performance. Check out this comprehensive list of 25 tips to optimize your Windows PC<\/strong><\/a> for peak performance.<\/p>\n

    Contact Your ISP<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The issue might also originate from your internet service provider. Reach out to your ISP to inquire about potential problems on their end or to seek assistance with your issue.<\/p>\n

    This step is particularly useful if you\u2019re experiencing slower-than-usual internet speeds (check your internet speed here<\/strong><\/a>). You can also request your ISP to send a technician to inspect your PC and network configurations.<\/p>\n

    Consider a Reset as a Last Resort<\/h3>\n

    If the aforementioned methods prove ineffective, a reset might be necessary. Both your PC and router play roles in maintaining stable ping; resetting them can resolve software-related issues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    However, be aware that resetting your PC and router will erase all data on your PC and reset your router\u2019s configurations.<\/p>\n

    Resetting Your Router:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Most routers feature a reset button on the back or bottom<\/strong>. It\u2019s typically recessed, so you\u2019ll need a paperclip or similar tool to press it. Hold the button until the router restarts and resets.<\/p>\n

    \"Router<\/figure>\n

    After resetting, promptly reconfigure your router\u2019s password and security settings.<\/p>\n

    Resetting Your Windows PC:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I recommend restoring your PC to a point when you weren\u2019t experiencing ping issues. This approach is safer and doesn\u2019t jeopardize all your data. However, if the restoration doesn\u2019t resolve the issue, a complete reset might be necessary. Here\u2019s a guide on how to restore and reset a Windows PC<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Concluding Thoughts<\/h2>\n

    The distance from the game server significantly impacts ping<\/strong>. Ensure you\u2019re connected to the nearest game server and that no other devices or applications are consuming your bandwidth. This should provide a stable ping.<\/p>\n
