High ping in VALORANT while other games are fine can sometimes be due to issues specific to the game's servers or network routes. Here's a set of steps you can try to resolve the high ping issue:
1. Restart your Router and Modem: Power them off for about 30 seconds and then restart them.
2. Use a Wired Connection: If you're on Wi-Fi, switch to a wired Ethernet connection to reduce latency.
3. Close Background Applications: Make sure no other bandwidth-heavy apps are running in the background.
4. Flush DNS: Open Command Prompt as administrator and run the following commands:
-
ipconfig /flushdns
- ipconfig /release
- ipconfig /renew
5. Set VALORANT to High Priority: Open Task Manager, find VALORANT, right-click, and set it to high priority.
6. Change DNS Settings: Try using Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or OpenDNS.
If the problem persists, it's possible there are issues with VALORANT servers or your ISP's routing to those servers. You can also check Riot Games' server status or contact your ISP for more detailed analysis.
