[Power/EMI] I discover why sometime PC become fast and low input lag and otherwise feel high input lag

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.

Did your mouse feels better in csgo only? What about Windows desktop, browsers or other games?

So it working still weel…
I think mouse feel on desktop is more presize and faster. In the game i am force lower mouse sensitivity.
I want say one point there: friday i play one game on faceit it feel shit i delete completly google chrom from my pc - no single game after that proces
Read about the name of the PC there
Sunday change the name of the PC
BANG
Over 2 years heavy input lag, hitreg like when i have ping 200, overybody go ferrari peak on me.
Allso i check all my internet properties if there is same speed ping and so on its all the same.
If it go to bad state i will let you know.
So far i cant complain about anything so for me it was PC name, or google chrom i will not touch any setup until it gets bad again.
I go hunt faceit now

I tested this years ago, because my router listed my pc name multiple times in the settings, thought maybe a conflict or something. I don't even remember if it had an impact, but definitely did not work for me long term.

I can bet this one will be resultless too regarding to completely fix the problem. Btw hope you never come back again to this thread to say that familiar sentence "everything came back"

Ok so my problem is, is that I can log onto my game(csgo) and immediately I will feel the mouse is sluggish. Its especially noticeable when u try to spray and trace, it feels like the mouse slows down randomly. There are slight moments in the late night, midnight 1 am where my mouse will return to smooth play. The mouse sensitivity feels faster, its extremely easy to trace targets again. This all seems indicative of an EMI issue, I will purchase one of those noise measuring devices and report back if I do in fact have EMI.

Correction, because too many new users in this forum make the wrong assumption.

More than 99%+ of the time, no it does not indicate EMI issue.

Internet slowdowns (combined with game lag compensation algorithms) can create a lot of local weirdness, since the mouse cursor responsiveness is kind of linked to internet performance, and Internet performance can vary during peak / offpeak, etc.

Correct, many users here are coping thinking they can hit the jackpot by buying that emi reducing device or buying a new pc lol. But the truth is, emi and electricity is one of many many many reasons that lag might happen, there are many many more things to consider as far as lag goes, computer components, servers, ISP, steam accounts, compatibility of drivers in operating system with the pc components lol.

Yes i think too that many drifting into wrong directions and path...

Last time when i was googling...i find an whole topic in german where guys talk about electricity and input lag...

that forum is specialized about electricity and all stuff around...but for germans and in deutsch only ^^


I even find Eonds there which is long member here on blurbusters...

https://www.elektrikforum.de/threads/on ... rom.37676/

Here is it but these guys dont really figure out anything...

similar to most and many topics here on blurbuster about emi and electricity...


i think that all should already proof that electricity cant be the main issue and 99% all people around world...even the russians...are still talking about this bullshit and try to find something deep and an magic fix in that all electricity...

similar forums and topics exist even on Russlan side of internet...

This Guys go rly crazy and even turn on there Iron while playing csgo...haha xd


its rly funny to read all this and im an guy who understand all 3 languages...english, Russlan, german...even Ukralnlan...


that why i can say too that all and most problems are 99% not related to electricity.

and i dont need to be an specialist in that stuff to understand all this and just all my researches my knowledge in many languages and my own online gaming experiences and my logic are enough to say that and confirm all...


but that the point i come too...at the end of all this electricity bullshit path...
