valorant desync/network ONLY thread

[mel]

windows tweaks/hardware tweaks dont come in here please, you have your own threads.

Here we go again. ive just experienced the reminder that its all game/network/lagcomp related in most cases.

first 6 rounds were impossible - the usual stuff - ferrari peeks, players ignoring movement tagging, feeling like playing half a second in the past, strafes and crouching being useless, had to use my brain and try to break the timings

then a player disconnected

and suddenly the game easy to play, the difference is night and day, my strafes and crouch key are finally working as intended, it all finally felt like i played against 60/144hz brokies that cant aim and react, as it should be in ascendant lobby. We won 12-8 despite being down 5-9 in a 4v5 game.

This is not the first time such thing happens. What rarely helps is toggling some crappy vpn with occasional 1-2% packet loss spikes and reconnecting. I also got baited into buying edgerouter x but i guess its all a scam.

Some examples, keep in mind that these people cant aim, the fact that i move constantly, the fact that im probably holding an off angle and i probably did not make any sound to get prefired

Have you experienced this? If there is any success stories, what did you do to combat/manipulate valorants potato code? Also, in my case, and probably yours, the ping/jitter/packet loss has no effect on this - the game can behave just equally bad on both 70 and 120 ms.

It is obviously ISP related but they probably wont even bother setting up their hardware properly and i dont even know what to tell them, i wish i knew

I can tell and even show very much about it but i gonna wait some...


Very good Topic.

Let's see how many good souls brains we have here on Forum and how everyone feels and opinions...

one more thing - if anyone here has a really fast pc that can run this game at 800+ frames, please, do this for the sake of experiment:

uncap your fps in practice range and tell me if it makes your character teleport around

i wonder if it was just me or this is telling me something about my network connection - and if so, what it could be?

This is about Valorant, but I have this problem in all games.

- Hits on enemies are displayed, but do hardly any damage
- Hits on enemies aren't counted at all
- You need 2-3 times more bullets than usual
- Enemies can read you as if they were cheating (which they aren't)
- You die in 1 frame (almost instantly)
- Enemies have an abnormally strong focus on you

My thoughts:

Battlefield 6 runs at a tick rate of 60Hz. That means 60 packets per second are coming in and out. The packets are small. The maximum bandwidth is around 550 kbps (download) and around 150 kbps (upload). That's nothing! It won't disrupt any internet connection.

I could be wrong, but I've noticed that most of the affected users have Asus motherboards.

I suspect that some kind of "desync" is starting at the hardware/system/OS level, throwing everything out of balance. I suspect the Windows timers, but I don't know for sure.

I have cable internet (Docsis 3.0 + 3.1 @1Gbit). My boyfriend has VDSL. We have the same problem. We live in the same town and play completely different games.

Look how many hits (right) I need for a few kills.

its mainly you, 1200 fps in range no bots no teleporting around i fixed my games fully same problem like you, try from 0 with optimized defaults in bios fresh windows install get network driver from motherboard or site and no tweak no powrplan nothing, check kahuu for ram instability with expo 1, AND expo 2 then choose, play for a whole day like with a normal setup no optimization, if that issues persists in online gaming ask your isp if they can offer better PERRING to a certain server for money or free if u have business line with better peering to all servers they will give it for free, you might get it for free on normal plan also if u keep asking them like i did

[LaggyTyp]

I think it's the timers. If they get out of whack (for whatever reason), you have the problem. If it were the UDP packets, you'd notice it because you'd be teleported, for example.

The majority of those affected have it in all games, even with different or newer hardware.
