Window AC unit/Mini fridge schizo latency

Separate area for niche lag issues including unexpected causes and/or electromagnetic interference (ECC = retransmits = lag). Interference (EMI, EMF) of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction latencies like a bad modem connection. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI. Please read this before entering sub-forum.

Window AC unit/Mini fridge schizo latency

Post by Saphyen » 10 Mar 2025, 18:04

This might sound 100% schizo, however, I have had bad input latency for at least 3 years at this point. I have always had my window AC unit plugged in and my Mini fridge plugged in by my PC. I have done everything to fix my latency and I just thought I might as well try and unplug those. Let me just say that It feels amazing, I am popping off 10x what I used to do in the fps games that I play. This might be schizo, but on the off chance it isn't then what would be causing it and how would I fix it.

I have side by side footage of my recoil control and tracking vs firing range bots in Apex and the difference visually is a lot. Not just the feel.

No idea, they were bought brand new when I got them years back so I assume so.
My house is as old as me (21) so It is an older system I guess

This same thing happens to me on apex. My shots look similar to urs.

Sometimes when i plug or unplug an appliance in my house it makes my game work just like urs did in the video too. Aim assist strong all shots connecting no desync no delay.

Sadly the delay will come back and u will be in the same boat plugging and unplugging stuff

Seems like more of an electric / grounding issue than it randomly being ur AC or fridge :/

I mean, you do spray better in the last three, but that could anything, focus, you being more warmed up etc.

I am not, but I feel like I am with this.
