How to Get Rid of Lag Spikes in CS:GO
Best answer

First off, make sure your internet connection is stable. Wired connections work best for gaming, so if you're on Wi-Fi, consider switching to an Ethernet cable. Also, close any background applications or downloads that could be eating up your bandwidth. Sometimes, simply resetting your router can make a huge difference. And if all else fails, lower your game settings. Reducing graphics settings can significantly decrease lag.

Try updating your network drivers and make sure your CS:GO is up to date too. Outdated drivers can cause a lot of unexpected lag spikes.

Honestly, just play at odd hours. Servers get super crowded at peak times, which can cause lag. Plus, you get to meet the night owl gamers, which is always a plus.
