How To Fix Lag & High Ping

Make sure your internet speed is at least 4MB/second or faster to be able to play online matches without any lag and high ping issues.

To ensure you have this speed, check your cable internet subscription. A faster way to check if you don’t know, is to run an “internet speed test” via your internet service provider’s (ISP’s) website or an internet speed test app.

Generally speaking having a wired internet cable connection ensures faster and more stable speeds compared to a Wi-Fi connection.
