After all these years and still no fix for this input lag and desync :(

I tried it without soil, but it didn't improve. The improvement was only with soil. Secondly, I have proper grounding at the electrical outlets, so don't worry, but it has a high resistance.

As for the soil outside, I planted a rod approximately 1.70 meters deep and it didn't give me any improvement.

You people are in big minority, many many people actually did fix it by moving / fixing electrical installation (including myself), they just don't report it on forums anymore after they fixed their issues...if you moved 20 times, tried 20 different PCs, then I'm sorry but you have some other problems, maybe in your brain...and no, it is MUCH more ridicilous thinkin that your body is causing computer lag and error-correction delays inside a sealed faraday cage (pc case), meanwhile it is scientifically proven that ripple, voltage drift, harmonics etc. are causing erratic PC behaviour because of wobbling and unstable 12V rails.

I agree with you, there is no way body is causing input lag or desync. It’s crazy theory, too crazy- and it’s pretty dangerous imo to believe in shit like that

Did you even read what i said? I said this problem is an anomaly never claimed i was 100% certain it is body. It is dangerous to believe that messing with electricity will solve this problem. I will say this again: I did an actual test with Steam Deck and a DIY faraday cage and the problem was still there. I made sure to charge my Steam Deck using Anker charger and charged it my car because i believed "dirty power" bs claim. Tested games in a tunnel as well. I made sure to install Windows to prevent Wayland input lag on SteamOS and have as much input lag free experience as possible when i did the test. Played some games and had massive input lag. It did nothing. Believe whatever you want now.

I had same experience. Problem same across games, locations in 3 continents and several countries, several different PCs, different isps, even in gaming cafes, on laptops/desktops/consoles, online/offline, running on battery/running on solar or trying on powerstation. It's an anomaly that I don't know what it is. And same with sometimes getting fixed for a bit from random BS tweaks.


I will have a game where I go 50/10 KD without even trying in BF6 after some random tweak I hear about once in a while and that same random tweak will not work again until weeks later possibly. Sometimes it improves randomly for a bit without doing anything also. Enemies play like bots / move and react slower even good players on the other team. Rest of the time when the lag issues are not good, I either go 20-15 after trying hard or negative K/D where enemies react instantly and dying in a second, enemies seme to move faster and feels like it takes more bullets to kill the same players. And this all can happen in the same match, where I start out with minimal issues where my K/D is 15-2 after 5 minutes of playing and by the end of the match My K/D is like 22-20 as the lag issues get gradually worse over the same match.

And usually first game of the day is good and after progressively get worse with more and more input lag/delay, inconsistent mouse, desync, behind the server feel, hitreg issues, muffled sounds, graphics/refresh rate not feeling and looking right, broken aliasing/jagged edges. unsmooth screen and 165 hz feeling like 30 hz. But, I will try few more locations and gaming cafes to confirm my experience so far more.

Every time you make a change to Windows or your PC there is a massive, complex chain of things happening in the background that you are not aware of and some of those things can directly influence the response time of your system. If you change something random on your PC, like disabling HPET for example, you can trigger a chain reaction and it can take time for your PC to return to its normal baseline. The thing is for for people who don't have input lag issues their baseline is already normal so they don't notice such drastic changes but for people who have input lag our baseline is much lower and our latency/input lag is already high so when it stops working we notice it come back in real time. By doing random tweaks you are never solving this mysterious input lag you are just artifically lowering response time of your PC by messing with random settings and getting a random reaction. This is why you can disable HPET today or mess around with Windows services/BIOS settings and have a pretty solid gameplay but comes tomorrow and you try that again and it no longer works. It's never consistent because it is completely random and depends on random explosion of events that happens inside of your OS/PC. Guys like r0ach and other tweakers are correct that their tweaks are not placeboo but they refuse to adress that they have this massive source of input lag , like we do, that is making them do all these crazy tweaks IN THE FIRST PLACE because let's be honest... if you are someone with a properly working PC you wouldn't be chasing unicorns and trying to reduce your system latency by 0,001ms instead, you would simply enjoy video games.


TL;DR: Those random tweaks work but they are only temporary and do not help with our main source of problem/input lag. It's like polishing a turd. You might reduce overall input latency of your PC but the main problem is still there you just don't notice is because your system is artifically working faster for a short period.

Also the online UPS on battery test is also pointless and doesnt prove anything, because the same fake effect as changing a setting or wiggling a wire might be at play, and itd lose charge before you can play long enough
