  1. How can I fix the ping problem in online games?


    Everything was normal 1 week before but now I cant play online games normally. I dont have any problem with other things like youtube, instagram etc, and its only on my pc not other devices. When I try to play dbd, cs2, valorant ı get disconnected but when I close and open the game again it becomes normal. I can do this in cs and valorant but ı cant do this in dbd. I dont have any problem in LoL or roblox. I can play this games normally. Is it bc of anti cheat systems or is it related to my internet. Please help me fix it.

    :)

    How can I fix the ping problem in online games?

    Hello, and thanks for getting in touch. I'm Aileen, and I'm here to provide you with advice as an Independent Advisor.

    I totally get how frustrating this kind of issue is, especially when everything worked just fine a week ago. The fact that YouTube and other apps are running normally, and the problem only happens in games like Dead by Daylight, CS2, and Valorant, but not LoL or Roblox, gives us some helpful clues.

    Let’s go through a few things you can try. I’ll keep it simple.

    Are you using Wi-Fi or Ethernet? If you’re on Wi-Fi, connection drops can mess with games that use strict real-time servers, especially those with anti-cheat like Valorant. If possible, try using a wired Ethernet connection, or at least switch to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network instead of 2.4 GHz.

    Also, close background apps. Some background apps might be hogging your network and messing with your ping.

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager

    Check the Network column under the Processes tab

    Close any app that’s using data while you’re gaming (like cloud sync apps, browsers, or launchers)

    Turn off any third-party antivirus or firewall. Games like CS2 and Dead by Daylight rely on stable connections and may disconnect if your security software interferes. Temporarily disable things like Avast, Norton, or any “game booster” tools to see if the problem clears up.

    Reset your network settings. This helps if something’s wrong with your DNS or socket connections.

    Open Command Prompt as Administrator

    Type each line below, one at a time, and press Enter after each:

    ipconfig /flushdns

    ipconfig /release

    ipconfig /renew

    netsh winsock reset

    Then restart your PC.

    Try to update your network driver

    Right-click the Start menu, select Device Manager

    Expand Network adapters

    Right-click your main network device, then click Update driver

    You can also check for Windows updates in Settings > Windows Update

    Test for ping spikes or packet loss. You can use tools like WinMTR or PingPlotter to check your connection stability.

Watch out for ads on the sites that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised before you decide to download and install it.

    If the issue goes away after restarting the game, that could also suggest it’s tied to how the game connects to servers the first time. Dead by Daylight, in particular, can crash or disconnect if there’s a hiccup during the handshake to their server. Let me know if the disconnects happen on specific maps or after updates, too.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.

    Any way to speed up connection between Aus and UK?

    There is very little you can do about this, the problem isn't speed it's latency. Latency is the delay of data between you and you and the other person. This can be measured as a Ping. A ping is the time it takes in milliseconds for your data to be sent
    back to you. When I tested my ping from Birmingham in the UK to Sydney Australia, the ping was 316ms, a good ping for online gaming is anything below 100ms. I'm afraid there is no way to fix this.
