High ping in VALORANT specifically can be frustrating. Here are some steps you can take to potentially resolve the issue:
1. Restart your Router/Modem: Sometimes, a simple reboot of your networking equipment can resolve temporary issues.
2. Wired Connection: If you are on Wi-Fi, try switching to a wired Ethernet connection for a more stable network.
3. Background Applications: Ensure no other applications are consuming bandwidth on your network. Close or limit any active downloads, streaming, or other online activities.
4. Server Selection: Check if you've been automatically connected to a different server region. In the game settings, try selecting your closest server manually.
5. Firewall & Antivirus: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall and antivirus. Detailed steps can be found here.
6. Flush DNS: Sometimes old DNS data can cause high ping. Open an admin CMD and run the following commands:
-
netsh int ip reset
- ipconfig /release
- ipconfig /renew
- ipconfig /flushdns
- netsh winsock reset
