Fps is "frames per second" being processed by the monitor. Ping is how fast information is being sent from your computer to the server. The word "ping" is a youthinism from the word latency; ping being shorter, easier to say and understand than latency, it is used. That's why people experience lag in ai missions, windmill, etc. more information is being sent from the client to the server at one time. What I said is extremely useless for this thread but seeing that it was steering off topic, might aswell get this out there and correct a few people.
On topic: There is no 'real' way to lower ping externally, your going to have to go into AVA and change your video settings to a lower standard. However, you can increase your fps by (easiest way) downloading GameBooster and using it.

Also this should be in the "help" section, but whatever.
