Eli5: what is ping in games and how can you fix it?
In: 0
Ping, or more correctly latency, is how long it takes for a message to be sent back and forth between two devices (such as your computer and a server). When playing an online game, higher latency means that it takes longer for messages between your computer amd and the other players’ computers, resulting in bad gameplay performance.
You can reduce the ping by upgrading your internet connection and/or your network equipment, or using a server that is geographically closer to you.
