Courage is a great game, but it is not immune to one thing that affects all multiplayer online games. Lag is the player’s worst enemy. It slows down the connection between computers and causes hooks, dropped frames and other issues that can disrupt the player’s experience. No one likes to receive bad pings.

However, there are some ways to control the lag and its effect on the player's heroic match. The first stop is Valorant's settings menu, where players should turn on the game's ping, FPS and frame timer settings.

Enter the settings menu, click "Video", then open the FPS counter "Network Delay" and the rest of the settings in this menu. "Network delay" is a fancy name for ping, but other names are also useful. If players look at these things in the game whenever they feel a spike in lag, they will be able to immediately tell if the problem is with the lag. 

If the frame timer suddenly jumps, or the player's total frame time is higher than usual, it means that there is a problem inside the system. In some cases, things like frame knotting and stuttering can feel like a lag.

However, if the player sees packet loss or "ping spikes" and the player's ping suddenly jumps before returning to normal, it is lagging.

When the information between the computers is transmitted from the server back to the player, the information between the computers slows down, a bottleneck occurs or is only lost, there will be a delay. When players play games on dedicated servers, the situation becomes more complicated. Since the dedicated server is usually located in the central area, the player can keep twice the distance from another player on the enemy team. Therefore, the lag is not only a decrease in the speed of information from one computer to the server, but also the time it takes for other players to communicate with the server.

There are several things players can do to fight time lag and improve ping, and the first one starts with the home network. Players do not need to use wifi. For fierce applications such as games, wireless Internet is slower. Make sure that roommates or family members do not simultaneously stream high-definition video or play games by themselves, as this may paralyze the home network. 

If this is not a problem, replacing the server can also help. By clicking on the small server browser menu on Valorant's queue page, the Valorant account can be freely switched between any servers in its area. Clicking on it will display a drop-down menu of available servers and the player's pings to these servers. Sometimes it helps to connect to a new server, start a quick deathmatch game, and then exit. Doing so will overwrite the previous settings and allow the player’s original server to create new settings, sometimes clearing the lag problem.

Most modern routers have a switch that can turn them on and off, but the memory in them can still be powered. If the player tries to solve the router problem, that would be bad news. By unplugging the router and waiting for a minute or so, the player can reset the onboard memory. This will cause the router to perform a complete startup, at startup it will check all settings and update all connections.

Sometimes, players have tried all the methods, but in "Courage Fighter", "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" and other games, their ping operation still has problems. When the problem is serious, it is usually beyond the scope that one person can easily solve. For example, the Internet line may be on a splitter that separates a strong signal into two weak signals. This may affect performance, and such fixes will be attributed to the Internet provider of the player.

Lag is a fierce opponent, and high ping can be frustrating, but some of these simple steps may help diagnose or even solve the problem.
