That's exactly what changing up the config does...So it does have some effect on the ping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

They will prioritise certain things and throttle others. Gaming can suffer. I have just opted to pay a little extra each month to PlusNet to prioritise gaming 24/7/365. it is claimed that this brings pings down but the lowest I have got since the upgrade has been 140ms. Scotty said,"ye cannae change the laws of physics, Captain" and the physical distance betweens us Brits and US-based servers is a constant about which we can do nothing. I have come to accept that gunfights with low-ping players will rarely, if ever, end in my favour. There are a few tactics that ping does not adversely affect so we can still play competitively.
