Hello everyone!
A week ago i have installed Windows 7 professional, and i have a little problem.
The download speed is ok and the speedtest also look fine, like on XP, but when i installed Steam(CS) and War3(DoTA) i have jumping ping. For example i play 5 sec on ping 40-50 and then for 5 sec 150 and again 5 sec 40-50 and again.
It's impossible to play like this. Maybe someone know how to help me? I've searched for answer but nothing seems to help me. Please help me, i don't want to back to Xp. And sorry for my english.

It sounds like you are experiencing intermittent high ping while playing games like CS (Counter-Strike) and DoTA (Defense of the Ancients) after installing Windows 7 Professional. This issue can be frustrating but can usually be resolved with a few troubleshooting steps. Here are some potential solutions to help you improve your gaming experience:

Troubleshooting Steps to Improve Ping Stability:​

  1. Update Network Drivers:
    • Make sure your network drivers are up to date. Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause connectivity issues.
    []Disable Background Applications:

    ]Check for Software Conflicts:
    • Ensure that there are no software conflicts causing the ping spikes. Sometimes antivirus software or firewalls can interfere with game connections.
    []Optimize Network Settings:
    • TCP Optimizer: Use tools like TCP Optimizer to optimize your network settings for gaming. It can help improve latency and stability.

    ]Power Management Settings:
    • Disable power-saving features for your network adapter to ensure a consistent connection.
    []Port Forwarding:
    • Configure port forwarding for the specific games you are playing. This can help ensure smoother connections by allowing the required ports to remain open.
    [
    ]Wired Connection:
    • If possible, use a wired Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi to reduce latency and improve stability.
    []Check for Network Congestion:
    • Monitor your network for any congestion issues, especially if others are using the same network heavily.
    [
    ]Quality of Service (QoS) Settings:
    • Utilize QoS settings on your router to prioritize gaming traffic for a smoother gaming experience.
  2. Game Settings:
    • Lower the in-game graphics settings to reduce the load on your system, which can help stabilize ping during gameplay.

      Additional Tips:​

      • Regularly restart your router to clear any temporary network issues.
      • Verify that no other devices are hogging bandwidth on your network while you are gaming.
      By following these steps, you should be able to improve the stability of your ping while playing games on Windows 7 Professional. If the issue persists, feel free to provide more details for further assistance!
