Hey everyone,

Sorry for dropping out of the discussion. I tilted hard after another session. Once again, I had games where I was killing everyone on the map, and then suddenly in the next match I couldn’t kill a single person. That inconsistency broke me, and honestly, I don’t want to keep ...

Your sudden death often happens when a “magic packet” — let’s call it that — arrives.

That packet contains your death , possibly along with the first and only enemy movement you ever saw.

→ No prior movement
→ No buildup
→ Just: enemy appears + shoots + you die — all in one go

Because earlier ...

I'm not attacking you — and I appreciate your insights. Many of your points are valid.
But I think there's more nuance based on what I've personally observed in real matches.

Engine-Level Behavior in Siege:
In Rainbow Six Siege, I've noticed a clear pattern:

I'll say it clearly: I **believe** — and my belief aligns with my tests — that what matters most is **what comes in the packet**, and **when**.

I tested this by recording my game and packet flow, then reviewing in slow motion.
Every time I died suddenly, it happened **exactly when a certain ...

I conducted tests on the same server at the same time on 4g and fiber ppoe connection
I turned on and off the 4g connection and ethernet devices in device manager

on 4g I had ping 20~ms higher than on fiber, 20-100ms jitter, game felt great, people on dm can kill me

Here’s a capture from my recent FACEIT CS2 match on de_mirage. Ping during the entire match was between 45–55ms.

The game felt good — I’d even say above average. I was clearly seeing opponents and could take fights confidently. Hit registration felt consistent.

The recording covered the entire ...

Let’s clarify a few things.

First, I never claimed I was a game dev — quite the opposite, I said I *wasn’t*. But that doesn’t mean I can’t think critically or observe real behavior over hundreds of hours. And I’m not asserting things blindly — I **referenced known mechanisms** that exist ...

Thanks a lot for the detailed response and the distribution stats — very helpful.

I completely agree with your take:
I'm also not swapping my CPU mid-match or switching generators from diesel to gasoline between rounds

If power supply was really a core factor in this kind of issue, the ...

Honestly? I'm too lazy to go line by line, but let's be clear:

Your claim that "servers don't care about the client's connection quality" is **completely false**. That's simply not how modern games work — and it's easily verifiable.
For example, in **Rainbow Six Siege**, the **developers ...
