How to fix CS:GO high ping latency
Best answer

Experiencing high ping in CS:GO can be super annoying, but fear not, there are a few tricks you can try! First up, always make sure your internet connection is solid - wired connections beat Wi-Fi for gaming. Close any bandwidth-heavy programs like streaming services or downloads. Don't forget to check if CS:GO's servers aren't having a moment; sometimes the issue isn't on your end. Lastly, tweaking your in-game settings can help. Lowering graphics settings won’t directly reduce ping, but it can make the game feel smoother.

Just play at 3 AM, lol. But seriously, playing during off-peak hours can actually help reduce ping since the servers aren't as loaded.

One word: VPN. Sometimes your ISP's route to the game server is the long way around. A VPN can give you a more direct route, reducing ping. Just make sure you pick a VPN close to the game server's location.
