So, every couple seconds, my ping goes from around 10~30's , to then 300-800, then it repeats.
How can I fix this and why is this happening

Network issues cause sudden spikes in ping. Here's a list of steps to troubleshoot:
1. Check your internet connection: Ensure you have a stable and fast connection.
2. Use a wired connection: If you're using Wi-Fi, try switching to Ethernet for a more stable connection.
3. Close background applications: Close unnecessary applications that might be using bandwidth.
4. Restart your router: Sometimes a simple router reboot can fix connectivity issues.
5. Update network drivers: Make sure your network drivers are up to date.
6. Allow Valorant through firewall: Ensure Valorant is allowed through your firewall. More details here: (https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048522893-Your-Firewall-VS-VALORANT)
7. Run network commands in CMD: Open Command Prompt as administrator and run the following:
-
netsh int ip reset
- ipconfig /release
- ipconfig /renew
- ipconfig /flushdns
- netsh winsock reset
8. Contact ISP: If issues persist, contact your Internet Service Provider for assistance.
