Oh, the dreaded ping spikes! Here's a quick rundown to potentially fix them: First, try restarting your router. It sounds basic, but sometimes that's all it takes. If that doesn't do the trick, check if any background applications (especially those munching on your bandwidth) are running and shut them down. Don't forget to ensure your device's drivers, especially the network adapter ones, are up to date. If all else fails, contacting your ISP might help. Sometimes the issue is on their end or they can offer solutions suited to your situation.

Just plug in an Ethernet cable. WiFi is pretty notorious for being less stable than a wired connection. Trust me, it makes a world of difference for gaming, especially for something as fast-paced as CS:GO.

Honestly, sometimes it's just the game servers being wonky. Wait it out or play during off-peak hours.
