laggy console servers
recently, whenever i play a game of valorant, i get 30 ping for five seconds and then my ping skyrockets to 150-500 and even to 1000+. i also have packet loss up to 500-700 during games. my ping is never so high on other games. is this a server issue or just a internet issue?

High ping and packet loss in VALORANT can be due to several reasons, including internet issues or server issues. Here are some steps you can take to diagnose and potentially resolve this problem:
1. Network Troubleshooting:
- Ensure that your wired connection is stable and try to avoid using Wi-Fi.
- Close any background applications that might be using your bandwidth.
- Restart your router and modem.
- In admin Command Prompt, run these commands one by one:
2. Firewall Settings:
- Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall. Configuration Guide
3. ISP Issues:
- Contact your Internet Service Provider to check if there are any issues on their end.
4. Server Issues:
- Sometimes, high ping and packet loss could be due to ongoing server maintenance or issues on Riot's end. Check Riot Games’ social media or Support Site for any announcements.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider submitting a ticket to Riot Support for further assistance.
