A fairly large number of people have a problem that is somehow connected with a large ping. Due to this, it is not possible to play normally. How to fix this problem? There are several ways how to lower ping in cs 1.6.
System optimization
It usually happens that in addition to CS 1.6 itself, various programs are included (Skype, Browser, Vkontakte, and so on). Closing these utilities can solve the problem of high ping and bring it closer to a minimum.An easier way is to download from our site, where an optimized config is installed, which will provide you with low ping and high FPS. The assembly has been tested over the years and has already established itself as the best and most stable assembly of CS 1.6.
config
Also, config optimization can solve the ping problem. It is very important in CS 1.6. If you still have a very high ping, then read the next method.Old video card drivers
Very often, high ping is the result of outdated drivers for your graphics card. In order to install and download new drivers, you will need to go to the website of the developer who created your video card. There you can carry out all operations with drivers.Prioritize the game
In order to get rid of a huge ping, you can also use priority directly. To do this, use the key combination Ctrl + Alt + Del to open the task manager. In the processes tab, we are looking for our CS 1.6. It is usually named as hl.exe . Right-click and set it to the highest priority. Due to this, there is a chance that the ping will drop to one degree or another.
Additions and modifications
There are a lot of add-ons on the worldwide network that make the game better and better. If you have a high ping, then it is better not to use such add-ons. You can disable them directly in completely different ways.Map change
Open cstrike folder. In it, you need to delete the file called custom.hpk.So, that's all we have. All of the above methods to some extent reduce ping in cs 1.6. See you soon.
Every modern child living with video games, and an adult too, must have repeatedly come across such a concept as “ping”. It is also an integral part of the computer networks being established by the master. Next, we will consider in more detail what this concept means and how to reduce ping in order to optimize game process or network performance.
What is ping and how to check it
Ping is the time interval during which one information packet is transmitted from the client to the server and returned. Associating this process with real life, you can say that ping is like the time it takes to get from home to the store and back. The store is the server and the person is the client. The unit of measure is millisecond (ms).
To determine the Windows OS ping, it is enough to enter the command line by entering the cmd command in the Run menu, which is called by the WIN + R key combination, or the Start menu search bar.
Then, you need to enter the “ping” command and, separated by a space, specify the address of the remote machine / site, the connection to which will be checked.
As you can see in the screenshot, the basic information allows you to see the average value and determine the presence of its sharp changes with a poor connection.
How to reduce ping - actual ways
There are a number of basic actions during which the user may come up with the idea that the ping value should be reduced in relation to the connection to a particular server / site. Of course, this is necessary when it comes to playing online video games, where it greatly affects how the player's battle progresses. It may also be required when setting up an integral computer network where a quality connection is simply indispensable.
If it is excessively high or constantly "jumps" in relation to any of the directions of the client connection to the server, then the problem may be as follows:
- Bad internet connection. It is corrected as follows: the method of connecting to the network changes (the modem changes to a direct cable connection or another), the provider changes if the low-quality connection is its flaw, the tariff is updated to increase the bandwidth allocated to the channel client.
- Outdated network card driver. Everything is quite simple - it must be updated by downloading the necessary files from the manufacturer's website or any other thematic resource.
- Viruses, autoload list, loaders. All of the above may have negative impact on network speed. Naturally, the system needs to be cleaned of viruses, the autoload list needs to be adjusted, leaving only the necessary, loaders should be disabled at the time of the game or any other actions related to connecting to a specific server. The latter is especially true for torrent clients, which, when downloading, can "clog" the entire Internet channel allocated to the user.
You can also make certain changes to the system registry, but you should do it with caution, remembering that the consequences of the actions performed with the registry are sometimes quite difficult to fix.
Having launched the registry with the “regedit” command entered in the same paragraphs as for the command line, you must do the following:
Non-existent parameters can be created, but, again, we remind you that it is better to entrust such changes to a specialist who feels confident when setting up system registry configurations. All these actions will help reduce, but be careful.
How to reduce ping on the modem
People who use 3G modems to connect to the Internet are a separate category of users. The problem with working with such equipment is that they pick up the signal from mobile towers of various operators, but this signal itself can be blocked by anything. All actions to improve the operation of the 3G modem and reduce ping require an increase in the power of the device itself. 
Experienced players and experts in working with such devices recommend the following ways to amplify the signal:
Each of these actions will positively affect the speed of the Internet and significantly reduce ping. You can check the connection level through the MDMA (Mobile Data Monitoring Application) application, which, after downloading and running, will determine the connected modem (maybe not the first time), and then give the signal quality value in dbm units. Dynamic reading of information in real time with a delay of 5-30 seconds will determine the best place to place the modem.
How to reduce ping in games
Finally, we come to the most important stage, since the reduction in online games worries users the most, because poor Internet connection and other defects affect their success in battles. Let's consider making the necessary settings using the example of two very popular games: World Of Tanks and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
How to reduce ping in CS:GO
When playing CS GO, you can change the ping by all the means described above, as well as by correctly making changes to the launch parameters. To do this, you need to enter the library of games of the STEAM platform and select CS GO in it. Further actions shown in the screenshot.
In the window that opens, click "Set launch options" and in the line that appears, enter the values shown in the screenshot.
Also a player to run competitive mode it is recommended to point the game to the optimal ping so that it does not select servers for it more than a certain bar, if this, of course, is possible. To do this, in the menu "Settings" - "Game Options", you must set the slider to the minimum value.
How to reduce ping in World Of Tanks
The peculiarity of World Of Tanks is that the game is played on in large numbers servers, each hosted regionally in different locations. Below is the geographical location of the main servers from the Russian cluster of the game.
You can control it by installing a special game modification or software, such as WOT Pinger.
With the help of this software, you can track the most optimal servers for the game and use them exclusively.
Thus, we can conclude that ping has a significant impact on the performance of certain servers/sites. To reduce it, you can use any of the above methods. You can also contact specialists who will make the necessary settings for the system and specific applications, significantly speeding up the computer / laptop. It is recommended to order the same setting from the provider, where the user will be able to tell what high-speed Internet access tariff will be much more profitable for him.
Enter the net_graph 3 command in the console. In the lower right corner you will see connection statistics. This is a very useful tool, as it shows information about the incoming / outgoing connection, current ping, the number of lost packets of information during transmission / reception, frame rate.
Loss - a number that shows how many packets were lost during transmission from the server to you. Usually it indicates a discrepancy between the speed of your incoming channel and the outgoing server. In order to accept the redundant information that the server is trying to transmit to you, you need to reduce the amount of this information.
Choke - an indicator of how much your computer cannot transmit to the server due to the fact that the speed of your connection does not allow, or the server is requesting too much information.
2. Task manager
1. During the game, call the Winows Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete)
2. In the window that appears, select the "Processes" tab
3. We are looking for the csgo.exe process for hlds.exe
4. Right click on the csgo.exe process
5. In the frame that appears, select "Priority"
5. Set the priority to "Below average", in the window that appears, click OK.
Notes:
Personally, I tested it, it really works!
There was a ping from 80 to 100, it dropped from 30 to 60!
3. Ping and call quality
Ping depends on the quality of the connection, the higher the quality, the lower the ping, and the lower the ping, the more convenient it is to hit the head. Everyone probably knows that while you are playing CS, there is an exchange of traffic (packets) between the server and your computer, its total amount (MB) depends on how many times per minute requests are sent to the server. The number of requests can be reduced, thereby reducing the traffic exchange with the server. I would also like to add - not a single setting may be suitable, so experiment, look for your golden mean.
COMMANDS TO DRIVE IN THE CONSOLE OR POST THEM IN THE CONFIG.CFG FILE
DSL-settings: (more than 8 Mbit)
rate 25000
cl_cmdrate "101"
cl_updaterate "101"
fps_max "100.0"
DSL-settings: (for 64 Kbit - 8 Mbit)
rate 20000
cl_cmdrate 51
cl_updaterate 51
Good game!
cl_cmdrate - number of updates (sends) of information from the client to the server, per second
cl_updaterate - number of updates (sends) of information from the server to the client, per second
rate - incoming traffic limit (from server to client) in bytes per second
cl_rate - limits the flow from the client to the server Quote:
rate #### - Stream (in bytes) from the server side. In general, this value should be lower than the modem connection speed by about 20-30% (because the outgoing stream also exists and, having taken all 100% of the line bandwidth, you will doom yourself.
If you set a value greater than the allowable value, then FlushEntityPacket will occur, the server will “throw” the user with “packets” at his own request at a convenient time for him. It must be taken into account that for a large number players (16-20) connection speed plays a big role. It is not recommended to set the maximum value if the packets often do not reach: you need to have a "reserve" for their "retransmission".
4. What should be written in the config so that it lags less?
Before starting the game, turn off icq, stop downloads and everything else that creates extra traffic.
Rate 20000
cl_rate 9999
cl_updaterate 100 (if ping is off scale, then "30")
cl_cmdrate 100 (if ping is off scale, then "30")
To be able to control connection parameters, you can add this to the \cstrike\config.cfg file:
Net_graph "1" or "2" or "3"
net_scale "5"
net_graphpos "2"
Decryption:
Rate - Restriction of incoming traffic (Bytes / sec.)
cl_rate - Limiting outgoing traffic (Bytes / sec.)
cl_updaterate - Number of updates from server to client (incoming traffic) per sec.
cl_cmdrate - Number of updates from client to server (outgoing traffic) per sec.
Some more useful config settings (file \cstrike\config.cfg):
cl_cmdbackup 2 // Whether to resend a copy of the package on loss (?)
cl_resend 6 // Number of retransmissions of a packet on loss
cl_timeout 500 // Timeout before disconnection when connection with the server is lost, in sec.
cl_lc 1 // Lago compensation - prediction of shots hit (1=on/0=Off)
cl_lw 1 // Lag compensation for shooting animation (1=on/0=Off)
cl_allowupload 0 // Disabled uploading custom decals to the server
cl_allowdownload "0" // Disabled downloading maps. Through the modem in the archive, they download much faster.
Create a ping.cfg file in cstrike. Write this in ping.cfg: cl_allowdownload "0" // Allow downloads from the server cl_allowupload "0" // Allow downloads from the client cl_cmdbackup "2" // Number of packets sent cl_cmdrate "11" // Frequency of sending commands cl_download_ingame "0" / / Load files while playing cl_lc "1" // Optimize speedcl_lw "1" // Optimize weapons cl_lb "1" // Optimize effects cl_nodelta "0" // Disable delta compression cl_nopred "0" // Don't predict movement cl_resend "1" // Timeout responsecl_showfps "0" // Show FPScl_updaterate "11" // Game update ratefastsprites "2" // Sprite type max_shells "0" // Amount of rendered ammo max_smokepuffs "0" // Amount of smoke rendered amp_decals "10" // Amount of smoke rendered mp_footsteps "1" // Footstep Sounds net_graph "0" // Connection Graphzoom_sensitivity_ratio "1" // Zoom Sensitivity net_graphwidth "130" // Connection Graph Width net_graphpos "3" // Connection Graph Position cl_latency "-200" // Simulate or Compensate Pushlat Delay ency "-200" // Imitation or compensation of delayscr_conspeed "10000" // Console crawl speed rate "2100" // rate (game update rate) fps_modem "61" // FPS modem cl_rate "1300" // cl_rate (game update rate) cl_weather "0" // Disable weather// Server network optimization settingssv_unlag "1" // Maintain optimization cl_lcsv_unlagmax "0.5" // Maximum delay time sv_unlagsamples "2" // Number of packets sent// Reportecho "Config loaded* then save . In the autoexec.cfg file write: exec ping.cfg That's it! P.S/ If someone has a ping of 300-500, this is for him :)
5. So, let's start lowering the ping in CS
cl_allowdownload, cl_allowupload - with a value of 0 (this is zero and not the letter o =)) prohibits the player from exchanging models, maps, etc. with the server. In general, this command has practically no effect on ping, so we set 1
cl_cmdbackup - determines the number of packets sent to the server per second, I advise you to set it to 1.
cl_cmdrate - determines the rate at which commands are sent to the server. The optimal value is 20-30.
cl_download_ingame - set to 0, because the team is responsible for downloading other people's models, etc., but we don't need it at all, because the ping is also affected by ...
cl_lc - lag compensation from the server side, it's better to set it to 1.
cl_lw, cl_lb - set the value to 1 for both teams (the physics of grenade flight, blood spatter, etc. will be calculated on the client side) [ - the value 0 disables delta compression, set to 0. cl_nopred - set to 0, the actions of the players will become smoother. cl_resend - determines the time after which the packet will be sent if the previous one did not reach. We put 4 or 5. cl_updaterate - determines the speed of updating information about the game. A value of 20 is optimal mp_decals - the number of effects to be visible at the same time. Do you want less lag? Set it to 0. [ These were the main ones, here are some more useful ones: r_drawviewentities - disables the display of models (when set to 0). Leave 1. hud_fastswitch - set to 1 max_shells - number of shells visible at the same time. Set to 0. fastsprites - smoke quality, optimally set to 2. max_smokepuffs - number of simultaneously visible smoke puffs, the less the better. Now, if you are the owner of the server, all that remains is to write the following commands: sv_unlag - compensates for client lags sv_unlagmax - maximum delay compensation time. Leave the default value - 0.5. sv_unlagsamples Determines how many previous packets to use to calculate client latency. One package is enough (value 1).
ping- the delay of data transfer to the server from a personal computer. You can see this indicator in the frag menu by pressing the Tab key. If you see a value of 25, this will mean that the data transfer delay is 0.25 seconds. One of the most frequently asked questions is - problems related to ping. This is a classic problem that may even appear to some experienced players who have not previously encountered this all.
Lowering ping in counter-strike 1.6
Ping reduction is done through the game console. Press the [~] key and type the following commands: rate 10000, cl_rate 2500, cl_cmdrate 30, cl_updaterate 30
Some servers prescribe settings for the player, in which case the listed console commands should be placed in the game's config file. After that, the settings of the game itself will prescribe these settings when starting the Counter-strike client. You can download a preconfigured config file and unzip it to the /cstrike/ folder. Here is such an easy way to solve the ping problem.
Get cut in the counter- a great way to relax and relieve stress. Especially when your friends play with you on the same team - this makes the game process much more fun.
Many of the players in cs go are wondering: "How to significantly reduce the ping in the game?"
High ping often occurs with players who use a weak internet connection. As a result, they face problems after the launch of CS:GO. To solve them, it is necessary to determine the reasons for the increase in ping.
Why does ping increase in CS:GO?
Before you start lowering your ping, you should find out what factors affect your Internet connection. That is, it will be necessary to determine the reasons that “load” the Network. Among the problems that users may encounter, the following most often occur:
1. The presence of viruses on the computer. Most malware requires a permanent internet connection. Accordingly, after installing them on your home computer, the ping increases, and the Network can no longer cope with the additional loads that arise after the launch of CS GO.
2. Various software products. Some of them also require a constant connection to the Web to exchange data with various servers. In particular, it can be antiviruses and other products.
3. The connection between the server and the computer is unstable.
4. Problems with the Internet itself. These may be line breaks, provider errors.
To get a complete picture of what is happening, you should consider each of the above situations separately.
Quite often, connection problems occur after malware has entered the computer. Viruses are installed at the time of visiting certain sites that contain the corresponding code. Such programs not only break the connection to the Network, but also use the resources of the computer, as a result of which it begins to “slow down” when performing even standard actions such as starting the Start menu. You can get rid of viruses if you run a scan with a licensed antivirus. In some cases, you will need to reinstall the operating system or the help of a specialist. In general, the solution to this issue directly depends on which virus "infected" the computer.
The other most common problem is installed programs that download the internet connection. Basically it is Skype and Torrent. Often, users forget to disable them, and they work in the background, regularly sending and receiving data packets. The easiest way in such cases is to launch the "Task Manager" (using the CTRL + Alt + Delete key combination) and through it terminate all processes that load the connection to the Network. It is important to pay attention to what is turned off. You must not end processes that can affect the performance of the system.
The instability of the connection between the computer and the server is explained by the fact that the former is at a considerable distance from the latter. In such circumstances, the ping will always be high. Moreover, this cannot be changed even by improving the quality of the Internet connection. This problem can be solved only by changing the server. It is better to choose the one that is located in the user's country of residence. This step allows you to lower the ping rate.
Problems with the network provider
ISP issues are fairly common. As a result, the ping after launching CS Go increases. You can solve this problem by contacting the operator. However, this action does not always lead to a positive result. If the presence of high ping is due precisely to problems with the provider, then most likely you will have to switch to another one.
In fact, there are other reasons that lead to the problem under consideration. Below are 3 console programs that allow you to increase your comfort level while playing CS GO:
1.cl_updaterate**. Instead of asterisks, the number of packets that the server sends to the computer every second is set. The recommended value is 100.
2. Fps_max. The optimal value is 300. On a weak computer, you should set 100.
3. Fps_modern. The optimal value is 28.
By setting the above values, you can achieve an improvement in the quality of the game even if there are problems associated with the Internet connection.
To set launch options for CS:GO, you need to go to the steam library > right-click on the game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive > Select "Properties" > Click on "Set Launch Options".
