Input latency makes my game unplayable...
Input latency makes my game unplayable...
The issue is that after moving to a new apartment I’m experiencing so much latency that I can’t play CS2. I usually sit around 3500+ ELO, but now I can bottom-frag even when playing Premier or against significantly weaker opponents.
Things I’ve done since moving:
Bought a newer, better LAN cable
Tried adding a static IP address
Bought a new 400 Hz BenQ monitor
New mouse and new keyboard
Besides the new hardware, I’ve reset the PC and tweaked the BIOS, but I just can’t seem to find the problem.
The new apartment has the same internet setup as the old one—not fiber, but 1000/500 through a coax cable, exactly what I had before.
My PC specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RTX 4070
Lancer Blade 6000 MHz CL30 32 GB
MSI MAG Tomahawk B650 WiFi
Arctic Freezer liquid cooling
Kingston NV3 SSD 500 GB PCIe 4.0 M.2
Thermalright 850 W ATX 80 Plus 3.0 Gold
I’ve also felt, ever since I built this PC about six months ago, that there’s been so much input lag/latency that I haven’t been able to play optimally.
Someone please help with this. Even my friends who tried to play a few rounds faceit told me that they feel it instant...

Check if you have ground/neutral issues for your outlets and whole electrical system.
Re: Input latency makes my game unplayable...
check routing issues, network node close to you, ask for bussines internet and mention you want better routing to x servers they dont always upgrade your routing since its a bussines, mainly peering issues,e.g val update fcked my and my friends (me and including them same countr same isp) ping and routing every1 got +40 ping for no reason on frankfurt and london hitreg bad aswell fixed my whole inputlag a while ago try these things since it can change randomly without no warning/update evenLucasged wrote: ↑17 Sep 2025, 02:16The issue is that after moving to a new apartment I’m experiencing so much latency that I can’t play CS2.

So permanent that you're the only person suggesting it in the whole world. I don't know why so many people here are stuck in their own ways.

I did a tape trick to lower my huge LOD (g9x logitech) in 2010 to play cod4 normally. It worked like a charm
