High lag spikes please help
I have very high lag spikes on valorant and I know that it's not a problem with my internet because I have this issue on valorant exclusively and it makes the game very unenjoyable because my ping spikes to the thousands multiple times in a match.
does anyone have an answer to the problem I'm having or if anyone ever had that issue please tell me how you fixed it.

Experiencing high lag spikes in VALORANT can be frustrating, especially when other internet activities work fine. Here's a list of steps you can try to resolve the issue:
1. Optimize Network Settings:
- Close background applications: Ensure no other apps are consuming bandwidth.
- Use an Ethernet connection: Wired connections are generally more stable than Wi-Fi.
- Check your router settings: Make sure it has the latest firmware and is configured correctly.
2. Optimize In-Game Settings:
- Lower the graphics settings to reduce the load on your hardware.
- Enable Network Buffering in the gameplay settings.
3. Network Troubleshooting:
- Reset your network settings: Run the commands in Command Prompt (Admin):
- Check for ISP issues: Sometimes, routing problems with your ISP can affect specific games. Contact your ISP to check if there are ongoing issues.
4. Update Drivers and Software:
- Update network drivers: Make sure your network drivers are up-to-date.
- Update Windows and Graphics drivers: Ensure that your OS and GPU drivers are updated.
5. Firewall and Antivirus:
- Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall.
- Temporarily disable antivirus software to see if it is causing the spikes.
6. Contact Riot Support: If none of these steps resolve your issue, it may be worthwhile to submit a ticket to Riot Games Support for more personalized assistance.
I hope this helps to mitigate your lag spikes.
