CS 2 literally unplayable on Faceit

[310094303]

my English is not good I use a translator. I think both faceit and valve are not good but valve is slightly better, and this problem is more serious in cs2 than csgo.

In addition, my cs2 had no problems before the update on October 9th

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I've had the same problem for many years now, it's on Faceit that the game is going very poorly, it doesn't register hits on the enemy well, sometimes it feels like the movements are delayed. Somehow the server is lagging.
I've done a clean install of windows 11 many times, and nothing but CS2, the Faceit anti-cheat, and the browser, and it still didn't solve the problem. Anyway, the game is playing the worst on Faceit.

Ban fct Frankfurt server (in EU). Biggest trash under sun. My winrate here is abysmal as playing at Frankfurt is a dice roll.
Also check your jitter/loss, both must be zero in actual shitty iteration of cs2.

Valve Frankfurt something similar (with Lagszawa and now finally closed HELL-SINKi edit: they reopened it after fixing its loss issues).

Frankfurt always most laggy with most jitter, frametime spikes, enemies being given more time to react when they should just die with no firing back.
London is also not greatest (the fibre trough channel most probably sucks). But at netherlands and especially france im feeling like its me actually playing the game and deciding about the performance, not a server neither the desync nor lag. Weird thing is that to France faceit servers i have either 17ms or 40ms ping but in both cases i feel no issues. And polish players usually complain since minute 1 about "why picking baguette server" and dont concentrate on the game.

I don't understand how people keep blaming bad routing for their issues. A bad route is a route with at least one hop that introduces issues like jitter, loss, out of orders etc. if telemetry is saying you have stable ping, low jitter, no out of orders and no loss then how is the route bad?

Guessing you're from UK. I have the same observations as you as a UK player. Frankfurt servers are so inconsistent and laggy even though in game telemetry doesn't show me any real issue. Netherlands servers when they added them were better, a third of the ping as Frankfurt but I still had terrible desync.

We don't have nl servers anymore though, they removed them at the same time as they added London servers so I assume they relocated them to London. London servers are the same experience as the nl servers, great ping of 12 but the timings and mechanics are still skewiff.

I had 12 ping to nl servers too despite bing routed much further than London.

As for Paris and Madrid, I don't think I've been connected to either of these in a loooooong time. But, I do remember Paris being hit or miss with ping like you me ruined, Madrid was always about 40ms. Iirc Madrid was as bad as Frankfurt with it's desync.

The best server I ever experienced were years ago and I havnt seen them since. Vienna and Stockholm.

These days I'm 95% connecting to London and 5% to frankfurt for DM, and about 75/25 for comp/premiere.

Can I ask where about in UK you are and who is your ISP and what type of connection?

I've had these issues for 10 years now over multiple ISPs, even with the switch from fttc to ftth. I'm currently on giganet/cuckoo 500/75 through openreach and have been since I switched to ftth. I'm switched over to Zen 990/109 tomorrow, my first try on an alt FTTH connection since going ftth. They say they have direct peering with game servers with steam, ea, Activision etc but I'm not holding my breath to see a difference after all these years.

Can you do a test on packetlosstest.com with the following settings to both the UK and German server?

1000 bytes packet size.
64 pings per second.
10 second duration.
40ms acceptable latency.

For me, I have around the same average jitter under 1ms for both UK and Germany. But for UK I have an average latency of about 13ms with intermittent spikes to 25ms up to 3 or 4 times per 10 seconds, sometimes never. For Germany I have an average about 33ms with I termitte t spikes up to as much as 50ms.
