It's so frustrating when you're in the middle of a game of REPO and suddenly everything starts to lag. You're shooting at an enemy, but your character is frozen. Next thing you know, you're out of the game. If this sounds like something that happens to you, you're probably dealing with high ping.

So, why is your ping so high in REPO? The most common reasons for high ping are a slow internet connection, being too far from the game's servers, or other programs on your computer using up all the bandwidth. It's usually a mix of these things, but the good news is that you can fix most of them.

How to Lower Your Ping in REPO

Here are a few things you can try to get your ping back to normal:

• Switch to an Ethernet Cable: Wi-Fi is convenient, but it's not always the most stable for gaming. I remember I was having a terrible time with lag in one of my favorite shooters. My ping was all over the place. A friend suggested I try a wired connection, so I plugged an Ethernet cable from my router directly into my console, and it was like night and day. My ping was instantly lower and, more importantly, it was stable.
• Close Background Apps: Are you downloading a big file or streaming a movie on another device while you're playing? These things can eat up your internet bandwidth and leave nothing for your game. Before you start playing REPO, make sure to close any other programs on your computer that might be using the internet.
• Restart Your Router: Sometimes the oldest trick in the book is the best one. Unplug your router, wait about a minute, and then plug it back in. This can often fix a lot of weird internet problems, including high ping. I was once getting ready for a big online tournament with my friends and my ping was over 200ms for no reason. I was panicking, but a quick router reset brought it back down to a speedy 30ms, and we ended up winning!
• Update Your Game and Drivers: Make sure you have the latest version of REPO installed. Developers often release patches that can improve performance and fix connection issues. You should also make sure your computer's network drivers are up to date.
