    big ping in multiplayer

    in Unsolved Topics

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I'll give you some advice on how to reduce your Ping:

     

    1. Move closer to the router.

    If you are using a Wi-Fi connection, decreasing the space between your gaming device and your router will increase your Internet connection strength, which will in turn decrease your ping.

    - While this step isn't likely to fix your ping issues entirely, it's a good rule of thumb.

    - Items such as walls, floors, and other physical obstacles will impede your wireless signal.

     

    2. Close any background programs and websites.

    Having bandwidth-heavy programs like Netflix, YouTube, torrenting services, and even other games running will severely affect your ping. This applies to background programs and websites on all devices, not just the one on which you're gaming.

    - If you have any background downloads, pause or cancel them.

    - Non-Internet-based programs won't affect your ping, though they may affect your game's performance.

     

    3. Reduce the number of devices using Wi-Fi.

    Routers and Internet connections can only support so many devices, and each in-use device will detract from the available connection speed and increase your ping.

    - If you live with multiple people, this might be impossible. The next best thing is using an Ethernet connection.

    - Consider putting your mobile devices in Airplane Mode while you game, since doing so will pull them off of the Wi-Fi network without forcing you to use cellular data.

     

    4. Use local servers.

    Playing on a server in your country (or, more specifically, on your side of the country) will dramatically decrease your ping if you're used to playing on other countries' servers. While you may have to sit in a lobby for a few minutes before you can join a game, the higher performance is worth the wait

    - Many games allow you to sort game servers by location or country. This can help you connect to the closest server possible.

    - Most games display your ping or a series of bars representing your ping next to specific servers.

     

    5. Connect your device to your router via Ethernet cable.

    As long as the router isn't the problem, your ping will almost always be lower on a wired connection than on a wireless one.

    - If this doesn't lower your ping, your router is most likely causing your low ping or the internet connection coming directly from your ISP could be to blame.

     

    6. Restart your router and modem.

    If your network equipment has been running non-stop, it may not be functioning properly. Removing the power cables from both the modem and the router, waiting thirty seconds or so, and then re-attaching them will refresh your Internet connection and potentially lower your ping.

    - It may take a few moments for your network to come back online after plugging the router in.

    Hello @Alp2,

     

    There are many other factors besides internet connection that can affect your ping, and I’ll help you to deal with these factors first:

     

    Connect via Ethernet cable

     

    Ethernet cable connection is usually preferred for online gaming. Because WiFi connection is prone to many real-world interferences, such as nearby electronic devices, walls and even distance from the router. Directly connecting via ethernet cable eliminates all types of interferences and ensures you get the best available speed. Alternatively, you can also disable the WiFi in your router and connect via ethernet. As each router has a different interface, I can’t give you precise instructions on how to do it. But to give you a hint, access the router settingsand look for Disable WiFi option under WiFi options/settings.

     

    Eliminate bandwith hogs

     

    If you want to play TruckersMP using your WiFi, I would advise you to turn WiFi off on all the devices that are able to connect to the network. Another app or device using your network can make the ping surge as they will eat the required bandwidth. Turning off the WiFi is important as background processes in other devices may still eat up bandwidth. Secondly, exit all the apps on your PC and make sure no background apps are eating up the resources. In Windows, you can check the taskbar and the task manager ( Ctrl + Shift + Esc ) processes section to look for background processes.

    Use a gaming VPN

     

    Although a VPN usually slows the internet connection, but it can also help make the connection clean, if that’s the problem. There is a chance your ISP might be throttling your connection or rerouting you through congested networks. In that case, you can try a gaming VPN. I have personally never tried a gaming VPN as my connection seemed clean. However, many users have achieved up to 70% ping improvement using a gaming VPN. Unfortunately, there is no reliable free gaming VPN available right now. Although my recommendation would be VyprVPN, as it offers a free trial to confirm whether it will work for you or not, which makes it a safe choic.

    Use PingEnhancer

     

    A great little tool for Windows users. PingEnhancer basically makes few adjustments in Windows registry to increase the frequency of TCP packageacknowledgment that enhances ping a bit. Without going into the technical jargon, it forces the network to check every data packet transferred, i.e, increasing the connection accuracy. Although accuracy leads to better ping, but it may inversely affect the overall internet speed as more packets are needed to be scanned now.

     

    1. Launch the tool and click on the Optimize button.

    2. Next, restart the PC and your connection will be optimized.

     

    In case you have recently started facing high ping or it happens occasionally, then it might be a problem with your network or PC configurations. Below are some fixes:

    - perform a clean boot

    - make sure pc and router are not overheating

    - keep all the drivers up-to-date

    - clean up your pc

    - contact your ISP

     

    If these methods didn’t work for you, then a reset may help you. Both PC and router are involved in keeping your ping normal, resetting both of them should fix any type of software related issue. However, do keep in mind that resetting PC and router will lead to deleting all the data in your PC and resetting your configurations in your router.
