200ms+ ping to most game servers is my daily reality. Here's what I've found actually helps:
- Use Ethernet, never WiFi (obvious but worth saying)
- ExitLag or Mudfish VPN can shave 20-30ms on some routes
- Close everything in the background — even Discord overlay adds jitter
- Set your DNS to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) instead of your ISP
Anyone else dealing with high latency? What games are actually playable at 200ms?
