How To Set Max Ping For Matchmaking IN CS2

When playing CS2/CSGO and you notice that you feel lag within the servers and are giving you a high ping, it can be useful to limit your maximum ping. The mm_dedicated_search_maxping command will allow you to search only for matchmaking servers with latencies lower or at the value you set.

1) Enable and Open Developer Console

To set your max ping, you will need to enable the developer console, simply press ESC, then head over to the game tab and set your Developer Console to Yes.

If you find that it is taking longer to find a game, you can always change the value to a higher number, like something below:
