RE: High ping in games
Interesting how long this thread has continued without any mention of routers.

Edit: OK, so they were mentioned. Apologies to all.
What I kinda meant to say is: why hasn't anyone recommended getting a router? He says a direct connection has lower pings, so a router is a good option here.

Well, if you are using a router, Open the 27015 Port, and do that in your firewall too...And how fast is ur internet connection?Oh and, lowering your graphical settings would provide a better Speed/ping

Erm...I brought it up..

200-300 ping in an FPS game like CS is absolutley terrible, almost unplayable i'd say, 20-50 is ok, no higher for these sort of games tbh :undecided:

Check CS options that you have the right rate set aswell, i dont know much about CS but if it was a Q3 engine game i'd know what commands to check :P

Strange how none of us thought of that. It was kinda staring us in the face, after all.
