Maybe your wifi is a shit. If it's not the case, maybe your pc wifi card or you play in game servers far away from your country.

Ping your router. If it's less than 1ms then the issue is your distance to server or ISP fault.

If your ping to router is high then your home network is faulty.

That's the best place to start

Well, a start could be set an static ip, and use the Ports DNS 8-8-8-8 and 8-8-4-4, call your internet provider and tell them to open your ports for gaming, change the channel of the router and try to connect the computer with cable.

Too close to microwave.

Thank you for giving actually helpful answers guys. I'm connected to the router by ethernet cable so there shouldnt be and issue between the com and router. How do i access the dns ports to be able to change that (or even attempt to have a look at it)?

Gotta heat up that leftover pizza some how my dude haha.

Open cmd and type "ping 192.168.1.1 -t"

It should say "<1ms"

You can also try pinging google at 8.8.8.8. If they both ping well then you'll know the issue is related to the games servers

you need to acces the ip of your router, it will ask you the pass and the user, you can ask your internet provider or search your specific router pass and user on google, there is a site with all the pass and users, once you get in your router you can change the specific ports you want.

Or you go to control panel oy your network and set an static ip, and change the public ports know for gaming 8-8-8-8 and 8-8-4-4 , a lot of tutorials on youtube.

The most obvious is better internet. But if that is not an option, at least make sure you are on wired. Gaming on WiFi puts you at a huge disadvantage.

If neither of those are an option, move to a location with cheaper internet or accept your ping.

The fuck is this shit /b/?
I'm gone for a while and you're all helpful and shit. It's the end of days for sure.

Also OP, stop flooding American servers from some backwater noname country with your shitty connection.
