HIGH % YOUR InputLag/HitReg IS NETWRK RELATED.

[bladeZ]

Ok, Chances are you've done most of the tweaks found on here which likely relieved some of your issues as ive done so myself like bios, rufus windows, reg edits, power plan, device manager, ram timings etc., there are many awesome ppl on here with great insight on any topic trying to help with this but if you're still chasing a consistent snappy fast gaming/mouse exp. after doing most of these tweaks i have reason to believe your issues are network related as i literally just found out mine were.

note that it is important that you can confirm you have input lag before anything as i have and will explain how i knew for certain, basically early of last year i built a simple RTX3060 12gb gpu 5600x CPU PC for someone as a gift which wasnt optimized at all you can even say the drivers were poorly installed, once i finished i decided to test some games to ensure stability so i downloaded valorant which is the game i main and let me tell you this pc felt like cheating i genuinely couldnt get enough i actually ended up not testing other games because it was so much fun, the hit reg was unmatched the mouse feel was as 1:1 as it gets, the game felt new essentially and so i went to my own pc which has an rtx3080 5900x CPU and noticed how worlds apart my pc and terrible my rig felt compared which obviously was more expensive and somewhat optimized, i couldnt believe it this is what led me to this forum trying to fix this and some of the problems were gone using the methods on this site but nothing felt like what i experienced on that PC.

now you might think this is hardware related as i did but it is NOT so save your money plz noobies ive made that mistake and its not worth it, i found this accidently just yesterday so try this to get an idea, heres what i did.

_____________________________
1. (Must Do) UNPLUG ethernet cable connected to motherboard.
2. connect using wifi or hotspot.
3. test your game.
_____________________________

you might be on higher ping than usual like 30-70 or lower depending on your signal but you can get a rough idea just by playing some dm's if you notice faster gameplay such as fast movement, animations are faster, mouse is faster then you have an ethernet related issue which can be due to poor cable, far away from router so youre using a long ethernet cable which i believe causes major issues, or poorly optimized ethernet settings in windows.

for some context i only discovered this because i am currently changing internet providers and needed to use my PC so i connected on hotspot and remember seeing a post asking people to do this method and i am now pushing this message further because in a few days i will find out if my long ethernet cable and distance from router was causing this inconsistent and insane lag and hopefully help others from wasting their time with this, now i will be really close to the new installed router and will be buying a new ethernet cable.

keep in mind this is the closest i ever got my PC running super snappy as the 3060 rig i gifted which WAS tested using ethernet and significantly closer to the internet router which is why i believe it ran perfect, so my theory simplified is the 3060 snappy rig was worlds better because of shorter ethernet cable, closer to router. and my personal 3080 rig ran like an absolute slug was because of lengthy ethernet cable, further distance to router. as i stated i will be finding out in a few days.

closing this post i am asking for opinions as i understand this is a known issue and know people who actually strictly switched to a wifi connection because of this, my motherboard uses Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller which i dont think that in itself has issues.

Hey, im having the same delayed hit reg and teleporting enemy movement and i turn on the setting in valorant>video setting>stat>network RTT + Processing delay. my ping is 20ms but my network rtt + processing delay is 50ms, which in total i have 30ms of delay which also causes weird delayed lag. idk if my internet is causing problem or if its my pc. And i got a 50meter ethernet cable for my pc to router. consistent 20ping and 0% packet loss almost all the time. hopefully you can help me out and Thank you.

First look up: Valorant Fix the "Run and Gun", Main Lagging issue by dB Valorant on youtube and follow the guide.
______________________________________________________________________________

Second step is to launch Valorant and change the network buffering setting from minimum -> moderate -> maximum (testing each one individually) also do note that you might have to restart your game after changing this setting.

______________________________________________________________________________
After doing these you should notice faster and more responsive hit reg/gameplay, the only other thing you would have to do is buy an ethernet adapter and use that to connect a shorter ethernet cable to your pc so you do not have to use a lengthy ethernet cable, i have a 50 meter ethernet cable as well and it is probably the culprit, that being said do not buy an ethernet adapter yet i will be having mine soon and testing it along with a shorter ethernet cable to see if that will eliminate this issue along with some more info.

Network buffering does nothing here...
Tried so many times.

This Setting total useless and seems just a Placebo gimmick by valorant developers.

I sadly can't see and notice any difference or posetive impact with that here...

3.
I buy not so long ago a new very short good 8cat Cable (with protection against electromagnetic interference and shielding) and my Routers literally near my PC. LTE and DSL Router.
Does literally nothing and same like the Network buffer setting...zero impact or any improvement.

But maybe your Case different and shorter Cable will help you.

Gonna try the first Point and watch what this Video is about...but I dont have rly hope...

edit: This Video only about delete Configs and he believes that it's the Culprit and something going on and bad happen or get's triggered by that all.

I find saw a similar Video some days ago but about CS2 and with Title: "Input Lag because of Configs ?"

phpBB [video]

My opinion: If this was rly that problem...then People would already figure out long ago and don't waste there lifetime on thousand fixes and suffering with that all... Developers probably would talk and figure out about this too if they noticed that there a Problem with that all generated Configs for some Users which causing hitreg or delay or lag and or fps performance problems...


edit2:
Haha i just read some Comments under that Video and the CS2 one...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN-H2xS ... dBValorant

here just one example from Valorant video:

didn't work. still new account feels one thousand times better than main. unfixable..

@offonk
2 years ago
Hey man this unfortunately didn't work for me. My main account which was made during the beta still feels "heavy" despite having the same settings and FPS as my other account, the only difference between the accounts are some skins and the friendlist. Do you know anything else I could try? Riot support keeps assuring me there is nothing wrong lol

and here from CS2 video:

Бро, согласен что есть эта проблема, и она существует наверное столько же сколько и сам стим клауд, помимо этого проблема есть и в других играх допустим в том же валоранте, на твинках игра всегда будет лучше и приятнее чем на мейне, и объяснения этому нету.

Translation:
Bro, I agree that there is this problem, and it has probably existed as long as Steam Cloud itself, besides this, the problem exists in other games, let’s say in the same Valorant, on Smurf (New Account) the game will always be better and more enjoyable than on main, and there is no explanation for this...

Всегда переходя на смурф аккаунт ощущал что как будто сенса какая-та увеличенная, не думал что это так картинка лагает, сделал всё по видео, офигел от разницы, зашкаливает, думаю просто наперед всегда отключать облако стима, я в нем не нуждаюсь


Translation:
Always switching to a smurf account, I felt as if the sense were somehow better, I didn’t think that it was the picture that was laggy, I did everything according to the video, I was amazed by the difference, it was off scale, I think I should just always turn off the steam cloud in advance, I don’t need it.

ля, а я всегда думал, что только у меня одного такая проблема. Писал даже разрабам на почту, но была обычная отписка в духе "почистите кэш и переустановите игру"


Translation:
Ever since the days of csgo, there were more frames on smurf and the game went smoother, because there you didn’t run around with mediocre dms and didn’t hold cards from the workshop, thanks for the advice, friend

Reply from OP to that:
Yeah, I always thought I was the only one with this problem. I even wrote to the developers by email, but they received the usual reply along the lines of “clear the cache and reinstall the game”




Summary and Conclusion:
What this all Talk really about and those Config Fix Videos

Some People literally talking there about Smurfing and new Account and how Amazing it always feels with new Account and all the easy many KILLS and the good "SKILL" Advantage and just good Dopamine Time and this nice "smooth" Difference...

but all this FUN going only until they Rank Up to there near old ELO (main acc) and get stuck again with all the known Problems and "Input Lag" and random hard unpredictable Ferrari Enemy and Bad slow Hitreg disadvantage and Desync feel and other Symptomes hahahaha...

And probably Config files just gets corrupted at exact that Point somewhere then and on the "new" main acc again and over again...//sarcasm off

interesting, i should also add that i disabled MPO and enabled Exclusive Full Screen which may fix some issues for you also i am on windows 11 pro and it works fine with those settings, the only other advice i can give you is to hear youtuber @ Winkli YT discussion on input lag and following some of his recommendations will be huge for your fixing input lag he knows this stuff way better than i can explain here, honestly i can only advise you to follow these other guides because they helped me significantly with desync issues etc. once i do enough testing on my own i can advise you to try other tweaks, currently i am testing network related problems, my next effort will go towards buying a 100% legit physical copy of windows 11 home FPP in store as some people have stated simply doing this is instrumental for a true PC lag free experience and its making so much sense to not do this but i will explain why that is when i get to that.

Блядь а хули у меня на фейсите только игра идет всегда по разному и с инпут лагом? Это как то с античитом что ли связано. Премьер идет всегда одинаково. инпут лага, нет, отклик на мои действия моментальный, а на фейсите просто пизда, просто каждая ебаная катка по разному идет, с разной степенью инпут лага. В премьере просто нажимаешь кнопку движения и персонаж сразу же идет.

Стрейфится одно удовольствие, играть тоже. Но блядь на фейсите часто просто такое ты нажимаешь кнопку движение а персанаж как бы с запозданием начинает движение. Бывает чуть ли не через треть секунды. Играть просто не возможно жопа горит . Что делать подскажите есть фикс како то для фейсита, почему на нем каждая катка по разному идет? Про регу вообще молчу на фейсите часто просто в упор даже не регает.

Damn, what the hell, on my Faceit, the game always runs differently and with input lag? This has something to do with anti-cheat or something. The premiere always goes the same way. input lag, no, the response to my actions is instantaneous, but on Faceit it’s just a hell, it’s just that each fucking Match goes differently, with different degrees of input lag. In the premiere, you simply press the move button and the character immediately walks.

It's a pleasure to strafe and play too. But damn, on faceit, it’s often just like this: you press the move button and the character seems to start moving belatedly. It happens in almost a third of a second. It's simply not possible to play, my ass is on fire. What should I do? Tell me, is there a fix for faceit, why does each Match run differently on it? I’m generally silent about hitregs. On Faceit, it often just doesn’t even hitregs at point-blank range.


And now just here this some inetresting Topics but about Valorant:

So who the real with Placebos here one and in this all Madness ?

Let's start to figure out and think for some minutes or hour about it all...

Theres something weird with their anticheat. From one day to another i needed to enable UEFI mode, then some months later Secure Boot, and last month TPM (all under windows 10, so wtf). Their FAQ says that some accounts need specific settings to be able to play in their servers with the anticheat. Of course this thing eats up CPU cycles in real time and has an direct effect on input lag and FPS, but its funny that some players don`t need all that bullsh*t enabled and maybe their game runs better.

Same for Valorant since Windows 11 but i noticed that now even with Windows 10 you need to enable all this and can't play more without...but don't matter if with or without...cause i played without all that Stuff and even Windows 7 and all my Suffering and unplayable Inconsistency Pattern was exact same back then already from Match to Match...

But then why TenZs and Donkkks or let's say many other similar High Rank (which don't even in PRO but just casually normal playing like everyone else) don't suffer this all Troubles and Problems and Differences that hard and are able to easy Rank Up to High (even after rank resets in valorant and go easy back to there almost old ELO) just in some Days and still stay same Stable day by day and keep a Form even at such Levels against others Nerds there ?

That what i really want know and how this shit works in this real fake "SKILL" World...

[Hyote]

I've been experimenting with some settings that needed to be disabled in gpedit and now I have massively reduced desync. The last two that disable cmd and regedit should be set before playing games and reenabled when needed. There is a potential for placebo as always but the reason I'm sharing these is because I notice a huge change in online games which have been nearly unplayable until now.

Donk was godlike when he had 120 ping. Xantares was using cl_interp 2 when he had 55-60 ping.
For me with 120 ping game is 1 second delayed and with interp 2 i cant even shoot normally.

We shouldnt compare ourselves to those pros cuz they are mechanically and mentally gifted.
