300 ping and extreme lag...

Akraptor

Hi everyone, I am well over the PC specs run smoothly, or at least the game ran smoothly during the beta, normally 60 ping to 90 at most. No lag spikes or problems, now that the game is out it is literally unplayable and that is a real turn down and quite frustrating... My Internet speed is ok according to the PC Specs and Lag Discussion that I checked before posting. (300Mbps download and 10 to 15 upload.)

So if anyone has any fixes or information I can use, it will be very much appreciated or I will uninstall all together, because it is not enjoyable anymore. (I do play other games, in other regions smoothly... just not this one that apparently have servers near my country)

Turn off any other background apps when you play (including browser of course, most important). Set ''high priority'' of valorant from task manager (very important this too). Try to play other game to see the results (cs:go for example). Turn off game mode on your windows settings.

HINT: Be sure that you are playing on the right region, for example if youare from europe, be sure that you are playing on EU server. Cheers Akraptor .

Can somebody... Please explain to me. Please. Why my ping will not go below 200. Here's the thing, I've been playing valorant since official release which is what, two weeks or something? My ping has been fine. Phenomenal. Wouldn't go above 60, usually around 40. But now.. It's unplayable? Don't bother giving me troubleshooting tips, no one else is on the network, I've restarted my router, configured network settings.. My internet is fine. I play other games fine at 40-60 ping. Valorant was fine and now it's unplayable, WTF happened?? Can someone please explain? It's extremely frustrating.

Alright @DigBick , welcome on Valorant first of all.

Now facing the problem. First of all test your speed on google (download/upload). Can be your internet provider.
