Sudden high ping

I never lagged and my internet connection is totally fine, I don't lag on other games, but just on Valorant? I played earlier today and it was fine, but now I'm lagging only on Valorant, why?

You can try restarting your pc, or try lowering some graphics settings

My graphics are already all lowered, and I did just restart both my PC and my router still lagging and why would graphics interfere with internet connection?

well lagging isnt usually an internet problem, high ping is

yeah that's what i got, high ping should have specified mb

The lagging has to do with how well and fast your pc is processing your game

any idea why i could have high ping?

in my experience, high ping comes from my background apps if there is an app sitting in my system tray like edge, google, or steam when i play val i close out every background app that is not required to run val or my system this is to protect from potential ban causes, and of course high ping

and sometimes it does

but even with that closed, and any other unnecessary process in the background, i get high ping

what is your network provider if i may ask

virgin media, from uk
Arkmados

perhaps there might be high bandwidth in that area sometimes the wifi conks out and is just slow try restarting your router

yea but i already tried to restart, and usually that fixes it (that when i get even low speed, for example by checking on speedtest) but i just run another test, i get 330Mbps download

it was solved later that same night it was indeed my service provider, after checking online, many others had internet issues with my provider it's weird how I was lagging only on valorant, but I had nothing to do but wait a couple of hours
