There are a number of solutions for this issue including changing some of your router settings to refreshing your network. We will go through each one of them one by one starting with the easiest.

If you fix the network lag, this wouldn’t happen.
Solution 1: Updating PUBG
This issue was widespread in 2017 where the users had excellent internet connections but the game kept prompting that there was network lag detected. Hence after experimentations and diagnosing, the developer team released a new patch to fix the issue. Make sure that PUBG is updated to the latest build. If you are using Steam, make sure that there is no update pending. Same goes for standalone clients and other platforms. Patches not only fix issues like mentioned before but also introduce new features in the game. Once you are absolutely sure that the game is updated, proceed with the next solutions. Note: Also make sure that you are connected properly and the game is updated on your Xbox console if you play the game there
Solution 2: Resetting network configurations
If your game is updated and you are still getting the message, we can reset the network configurations on your computer. There are many instances where the network configurations get inconsistent with your current network and cause these problems. We will run a number of commands in the command prompt and see if this does the trick for us.
Note: Make sure that there are no other applications consuming the internet on your computer. You can check this using the resource manager inside the task manager.
Solution 3: Resetting TCP/IPv4
If the error still persists on your computer, you can try resetting the TCP/IPv4 mechanism on your computer. We will navigate to the properties of your connection using the control panel and then disable and enable it. This will force the module to reinitialize all the configurations and fix the problem if there were any discrepancies.
Solution 4: Changing Router settings
Another thing you can try is to change your router QoS (Quality of service) settings. QoS enables you to prioritize the internet connection towards specific applications where they will be given access to the internet first as compared to other applications. This may make the internet access to other applications slower but may fix our problem.
Solution 5: Checking other modules/Firewalls
If all the above solutions don’t work out and you are sure that your internet connection is working perfectly, you should make sure that you have no third-party applications running in the background which are consuming the internet. You should also check your firewall and add PUBG as an exception. If you have an antivirus installed on your computer, you should disable it temporarily and try launching the game. There are several cases where the antivirus software monitors all the traffic going in and out and this causes the delay in the game. You can always enable it later on. Note: All these solutions will work if your internet connection is normal and other applications are able to run without any problems. If your internet connection is bad, you should make sure you fix it before following the solutions here.
