CS2 is one of the best representatives of its genre. The recently released update took the series to a new level, improving graphics, effects, and a lot of small moments. In the Counter Strike series, it's always been about skill. Your quickness of reaction, your aim level, your strategic thinking. But sometimes, all of that is overridden by aspects independent of you. Bad FPS, or low ping. The last problem occurs most often, and does not allow you to fully realise your gaming skills. In today's guide, we will show you the most relevant ways to solve this problem.

What is ping?

Ping is the time it takes for your computer to send information to the server and receive it back. Players with a lower ping always have an advantage over you because they have more up to date information about what's going on. This can happen for many reasons. Low speed of your ISP, background programs that consume speed, as well as outdated device drivers. I suggest we break down the solutions to these problems.

Update drivers

There are many free programs that allow you to do this quickly, and they find outdated drivers themselves and replace them with new ones. This can greatly increase not only your Ping, but also raise the picture quality and FPS count to a new level.

Connecting the internet directly 

Many people connect their computer to the internet via a Wi-fi module. If you do the same, I suggest you connect your computer directly via cable. This will definitely increase your internet speed, and sometimes a lot.

Closing background programmes 

The most common cause of low ping. Programs that run in the background along with Counter Strike can take up a lot of computer resources and reduce your internet speed. Especially if you download or update some programmes in parallel with the game. You can monitor this through Task Manager or by downloading special programmes.

Change of provider

Not the most pleasant, but the most effective way, without which you can not do without in some situations. Just by changing the provider, you can change the speed of your internet in times, and at the same time, improving the quality of your game.
