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 @Magomed777

 

The following things should help you to at least some degree, by lowering CPU load and freeing more performance for the TruckersMP networking etc.  

 

To increase the game performance, you need a better CPU or lower any game graphics that requires CPU performance.
For help on the above, take a look at the following link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1300836306
When on that link, look at the following:

 

5) FPS tweaks
6) Graphic settings
7) ETS2 Multiplayer FPS tweaks

 

You can try lowering the game settings that takes CPU performance

 

You can also try lowering the Draw Distance in-game, here's how:

 

1. Open the TAB/player list
2. Hit the gear (Settings)
3. Go to the Graphics settings tab
4. Try lowering the Draw Distance from the usual medium to low or very low

 

Hopefully that'll help with the Unreliable connection kick

Hello, where do you live in location? Depending on your location, this can happen on game servers if you live in USA or China and want to play on EU1, for example. Your ping will be more high, because the servers are located in Europe. I would suggest that you simply try to connect to different servers and check if that improves your ping.

 

Maybe you can follow this guide to reduce the high ping issue.
