Separate area for niche lag issues including unexpected causes and/or electromagnetic interference (ECC = retransmits = lag). Interference (EMI, EMF) of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction latencies like a bad modem connection. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI.

Exactly, but the dude still refuses to accept that the problem is electrical, even though he admitted that he's known for a decade that running well at night means overloaded electrical grid, but then, the electricity somehow isn't the problem according to him, it must be some other magic that appears just during the day.
And there are still no answers regarding the laptop test - because, you know what, he shockingly discovered that the laptop works like a charm on batteries, but if you plug it directly into a wall outlet, it works like shit again... which would lead to another shocking discovery, that the problem is indeed electrical.
Boom, I start the PC on battery power.. and.... nothing.
Well you can't explain that to a low IQ person that uses ChatGPT and still can't write a coherent sentence. Poor guy thinks he will solve the problem by playing on a laptop. HAHAHAHA. About 15 years late discovery.
To be fair, I was playing on a laptop in the problem area, and the difference was truly night and day.
A damaged transformer neutral or a current leak doesn't necessarily mean the problem is confined to the socet. The transformer can emit radio frequency interference, and it can be quite strong.

well I hope the mods dont delete this, go try find grass and soil outside and walk barefoot on it for a few minutes, touch it with your hands too. No this isnt an elaborate touch grass meme. its something about grounding your body, go home and reset your sockets and test it

just turn them off and back on at the wall, ill come back here in a few weeks to see if the desync comes back like it does with every 'fix', but this feels different

how often you have 'ground yourself?' and is it possible to fix it again by doing it again?

I only tried it for the first time today, ive had the issue since 2018 and its followed me to different parts of the UK which makes no sense. As soon as I got back to my flat today after the experiment I noticed all text and visuals were clearer and that shadow that follows the mouse cursor was less apparent, cs2 and battlefield 6 were smoother, like there were more frames and movements happening in the game not just the fps. If the desync comes back I'll go touch grass barefoot again and see what happens, this would suggest our physical body is messing with electronics somehow

Yes, no issues with hardware grounding in my opinion. My pc has been on for 12 hours and mouse movement has stayed the same throughout, which is new

Placebo is strong with this one...touching the grass barefoot, really? And you only tested this for 12 hours and came to the conclusion that this was the culprit?
If your body can cause a computer to heavily malfunction like that (degraded display, mouse delay, stuttering, sluggish performance etc.), then you need to call some top scientist in the world who would pay you millions to experiment on you, because you're the only one out of 8 billion people who can cause a computer to stop working properly just by being near it.
How about if you would fix the actual grounding in your house, instead of trying to ground yourself?
And only the sockets in the UK have "on/off" switch, so we cannot "reset" it like that anywhere else, and this is not really "resetting" of any kind.
And if I quote you from the other thread: "...which caused me severe emotional/physical/mental distress, the desync issue (with bad looking 1440p, sound etc) followed me until recently, i started working on making my mind and soul calmer and less anxiety ridden and less fearful of the world and people, the issue is starting to subside."
That alone is an indication that we're not taking you seriously... so I hope people aren't idiotic enough to walk barefoot on the grass in a hope to "fix" a computer.
