How to reduce ping in games?

If the ping is high, then it needs to be reduced somehow. First, it’s worth understanding the concept of ping itself. Ping is the time spent delivering information to the server and back. High ping in games can be due to various reasons. The first reason for high ping is Internet speed. If you're playing an online game via modem, don't be surprised if you have a high ping. If you have wired or wireless Internet with good speed, then still first test internet speed. Perhaps it is the fault of your provider that you currently have low Internet speed, which leads to high ping in games.

If everything is fine with the Internet, then you can do the following. Ping can be reduced using the system registry. To do this you need to find the menu "Run" and enter the following command in it "regedit". Then press the key "OK" and we find ourselves in the registry editor.


Next you will need to expand the following registry branch: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile". After this we find the point Network Throttling Index and double-click on it with the left mouse button. By default, the 16th number system (a) is used here, but you need to select "ffffffff" and press the " buttonOK". Close the registry and restart the system.

In some cases this method helps. If everything remains unchanged, then return everything to its original place. There is another way.

As usual, go into the game (in which you have a high ping) and minimize it. After that, launch the task manager. In the task manager, find your game and right-click on its icon. Look for the item "priority" and click on it. In the new window that appears after clicking, set the priority value "Below the average". This will need to be done after each entry into the game. But if you have a high ping in the game, then this method can also help. The methods presented above can help solve the problem with high ping, but not always significantly. In most cases, the ping level is high in some online game means that you have problems with your Internet connection.
