Has anyone done grounding resolved the input lag?

Post by danbmx » 13 Jun 2024, 17:18

Hi, I'm from São Paulo, Brazil. I live in an old house without grounding. Has anyone done grounding resolved the input lag?
I've been suffering from input lag since 2015, I play CS and Apex. Both games have exactly the same input lag, no hitreg, desynch, heavy mouse. The game rarely goes smoothly.
Generally at 3 am it becomes playable, I also feel on days when the city is emptier (holidays and the end of the year), the gameplay is much better and everything is more responsive.

Some tweaks (placebo) that work temporarily:
change dns to google
install warp 1111
change earphone to headset
disable/enable xmp

I'm thinking about just grounding the computer socket and making a direct connection to the main panel.

That could be less traffic on your ISP making it better, rather than an electrical issue. Just for reference

I play with stable 5ms, no packet loss, Buffebloat test A+

Could it be the internet?
