Has anyone found a fix to desync in games? (Behind the server feeling)

[taupemouton]

Hi, I want to share with you my experience with desync in games. In 2020, I was playing on a Vivobook Pro 17 on Minecraft PvP servers. For 6 months straight, I only played on multiplayer servers; I was really good at the game and winning Skywars with a lot of kills. I had 50 ms in game on Wifi.

From one day to the next (November 2020), I couldn't even win a single game with 4 kills. The feeling was different. I thought I was playing badly, but the next day I played again with the same feeling that most of you are describing. I don't know what is causing it.

In 2021, I changed my computer for this:

Motherboard: Aorus B560M
CPU: Intel Core i5-11400F
GPU: RTX 2060
RAM: Crucial Ballistix DDR4 3600 MHz (2x8)
OS: Windows 10

The problem was still there, with exactly the same feeling as on the first computer. I even moved to another house with this computer (with the same ISP), and nothing changed—the problem has been there since 2020.

Active powered fiber line, no PON.
I meant classic old style when people were connected trough SFP modules in smart switches directly to opposite SFP module at providers side again in some local smart multislot SFP switch (and very often combined with 1gbps local ethernet as a last mile and handover interface from smart local switch somewhere in basement). It was a little bit less reliable as it was prone to power outages, but for gaming this connection was way better than PON which is from my point of view a slight downgrade (more reliable but there is always a milisecond or two added in term of ping and jitter).

oh yeah, i see what you mean now. in Belgium this was never available to "normal" customers but i know that some hospitals, banks, airports, etc do have this technology available for them.

At work we called this (P2P - Point to Point) which is essentially a dedicated fiber directly between the provider's central office and your location. Are you sure that you used at some point this kind of technology? Is it extremely restricted to very specific uses here, nobody can access it here except if you are worth multi million dollars...

Btw i agree that PON is definitely not the best fiber optic system. And i wouldn’t call it more reliable either, there are tons of issues. But it is the one that can fill up ISP's pockets the fastest; you can literally split A SINGLE Pon link to 32 to 64 customers -- that is 2,5 Gbps down 1,25Gbps UP shared across 64 houses.... so no wonder why all the money hungry ISPs corporates moved to use it...

You've got the general concept right, but the issue is happening further down the line if at all, specifically after the junction point (where the all connections connects to olt).So in general PON or XGS-PON is really good at this time.

I see a lot of people having issues with this, but having clear context would really help isolate what's actually going on. What are your PC specs, and what exactly do you mean by desync? Are you dealing with bad hit registration, a lack of peeker's advantage, or fast opponent movement or more like high interpolation buffer?
