Platinum VIP HaLLoWeeN Posted May 9 Platinum VIP Share Posted May 9 Hi guys.... Just for the record.... This is just for the sake of discussion... But for some of us, (like myself) with exceptionally high ping... surely there are ways to lower it a little more slightly. Some options i have heard from others are: 1. Get a better Internet service provider 2. Try a VPN proxy 3. Relocate altogether (something i cant do anytime soon) lol But if by chance any of you might know a thing or two or any other alternatives to lower the ping factor... Please join in on the conversation Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a Founder would have to authorize that. DD or @RainierWolfcastle or the absent "Joe Dirt". We can discuss this in private on Discord. Don't PM me on the forums as my mailbox is getting 'fuller' again. (If you have already sent me a forum PM, then you can just use that "thread" again. It seems that our PM-limits are based on 'threads' and not on the total number of PMs. 😄 ) ADDED: Oops! I don't see your Discord ID in your profile! 😮 Edited May 9 by RedBaird ADDED line 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagging Noob Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 another simple solution is to connect to a server with a lower ping. I think some servers are hosted in the New Jersey and some in Germany. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum VIP Kojootti Posted May 9 Platinum VIP Share Posted May 9 Here are few that i found and can be easily test 1. Close software you’re not using 2. Remove other devices from the network 3. Reset your internet connection 4. Use a wired internet connection 5. Remove Wi-Fi obstructions if you can't use wired 6. Update router/modem 7. Update ethernet cables 8. Set up port forwarding or policies on router to prioritize certain traffic 9. Don't use old power strips or equipment that may introduce non-grounded electrical noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please join in on the conversation Thank You. About 1: yes, but i had 1000mb internet before, now 300 mb only and still play good, no problem if your provider is good About 2: yes, just ask FA if you can use it, and depends wich one (i play good with noping) after that you enter and connect with the city near the server (i always connect with Strasbourg) About 3: is not really necessary With better ping , you can play with more FPS avoiding the annoying message "connection interrupted". My normal ping from Argentina to Germany is 220, and i can play with 160 with noping (in silent1 i play with 120 ping, normal is 150). With this reduction, i can play with 200 fps in a 240hz screen. Perhaps, could help you this: +set com_zoneMegs "128" , but you need to put this into the properties of ET. Edited May 9 by Betinho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesIsComingLookBusy Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Move closer to the server, or server closer to you. Joke aside, can check your isp routing and try what have been mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesleyXYZ Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) An obvious one is use ethernet instead of WiFi, is like 30ms difference in my experience. A VPN I can recommend in Cloudflare WARP, they are the best VPN in terms on smart routing, because Cloudflare has so many servers and so many websites use their servers, they have high speed routes between them But as mentioned earlier, discuss with admins first before use a VPN Edited May 17 by LesleyXYZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tideman Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 try these commands in console: /set rate 25000 /set snaps 20 /set cl_maxpackets 100 /set cl_timenudge -10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting faster internet connection might not help, because ping primarily depends on your ISP packet routing and not your internet speed. You can have better ping with slower internet but better routing. 11 hours ago, tideman said: /set cl_maxpackets 100 With legacy you can have maxpackets 125. 11 hours ago, tideman said: /set rate 25000 25000 rate is smth people used in 2005, with 12 Mbit/s connections. That is way too low. In Jay1 rate defaults to 45000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
