The service will begin diagnosing Internet parameters. Within a certain time, the download and download speeds will be determined, and ping will also show.
- The distance of the servers that is thrown at when connecting to the game is too great.
- Internet Channel Load Check if programs that can currently consume traffic are running. Are files downloaded from the Internet, such as torrent and others.
- For improved packet transfer, use a wired Internet-to-computer connection than Wi-Fi.
- Valorant, like any other game, has its system requirements to ensure a normal FPS level. But few people know that computer power also affects the quality of receiving and sending packets over the network.
When there are problems with an internet connection or ping, appropriate notifications will appear inside the game in the upper right corner. For example, "High Middle Ping" and "Network Problem"
Changing the country to lower the ping
If Valorant was obtained while watching streams from foreign players, then the game falls out with another region that does not correspond to your real location, accordingly, ping can reach up to 200.
Go to the game settings Click on the settings icon (gear) in the main menu. Next, go to More details
The Server menu will contain information about the server that is defined for your account, as well as the region.
If the region is wrong, which is likely when Valorant dropped out of foreign streams at the ZBT stage, you can try to change it. Such a step will help fix the ping and play with more or less acceptable delays.
For region changes in Valorant write in support of Riot Games Specify that the country is incorrectly defined and ask for the data to be corrected. In response, get a number of questions to answer, such as your actual geographic location, current IP address, full name, and accept data change agreements.
Afterwards, support will begin processing your request and, after a successful procedure, will send a letter by mail.
But don’t forget that if you are exposed to the country "Russia/RUS", then the voice chat disappears. Why this happens, read the article about voyce chat in Valorant.
