Very recently, my ping in games like Valorant and Apex Legends have been extremely high, like >300 ms high. I found this odd as other games like R6 and Battlefront had no issues.
I then found out that when I Alt+Tab into Discord, my ping goes back down. Then when I Alt+Tab back into the game, my ping shows 14ms then slowly climbs back to 300 in a matter of seconds.
Why is this and how can I fix it? I'm not closing the game, my screen just isn't focused on it whenever it goes back down.
Any help is appreciated!
