Why do I have high ping in CS:GO?
Best answer
PianoGloves
High ping in CS:GO can be like trying to play the piano with boxing gloves on - frustrating and kinda hilarious. Most times it's because your internet connection is more crowded than a Black Friday sale. Could be family streaming movies in the next room, or maybe your ISP is having a bad day. Sometimes, the server you're connected to is just on the other side of the planet. Try connecting to a server closer to your location or pause those heavy downloads and see if your ping improves.

It's simple. Your internet is slow, or you're playing on a server that's too far away. Move closer or get better internet. Problem solved.

Had high ping issues myself until I realized my sibling was binge-watching shows online every time I played. Make sure no one else is using up all the bandwidth. Also, wired connections > WiFi for gaming.

High ping? Check if someone else is hogging the bandwidth in your house. Another reason could be you're connected to a server far away from you. Switching to a closer server might just do the trick!
