Finding root cause/fix
Forum rules
IMPORTANT:
This subforum is for advanced users only. This separate area is for niche or unexpected lag issues such as electromagnetic interference (EMI, EMF, electrical, radiofrequency, etc). Interference of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction (ECC) latencies like a bad modem connection, except internally in a circuit. ECC = retransmits = lag. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI.

Re: Finding root cause/fix
I've already explained this in my previous comment but none of the tweaks that you do that temporarily help you actually address the underlying problem. What you are essentially doing when you are applying random tweaks is altering the behavior of your PC by messing with Windows kernel and system configuration, timer sources, thread scheduling, interrupt/DPC behavior, power-management states, driver behavior, etc. This will mess everything up including how long it takes for your opponents to react to you and is a form of cheating, which is one of the reasons why you are not allowed to mess with any of this in LAN/tournaments.simon wrote: ↑04 Sep 2026, 11:39I agree it's everywhere and you carry it into the server with you and it affects how others see and hit you as well.
If it's good for you then other players see you as fast and unhittable. Someone always gets advantage or priority in the server and it's possible to "steal it" from others by doing changes to your pc or something else. Sometimes it comes by itself, like at night. Maybe because more players who have this problem play at night. Who have it worse than you, so you get it to yourself.
This theory would suggest that from certain point on skill doesn't matter anymore and it's all fight for the advantage.
So, those who think they were once good and now the game got shit and they can't play anymore - no, the game allowed you to be good back then and now it doesn't. You lost something that gave the priority/advantage. You were not faster than others or something lol.
Pro players becoming noobs is exactly that. They were never pros, just the game allowed them to get the kills. Now it doesn't anymore and other players have the advantage.
Sorry but your theory is ridiculous. Most gamers like 95% of them do not have this problem. Your reaction time, skill and time spent practicing playing games are your limiting factor not when Microsoft decides to give you consistent gameplay.

Re: Finding root cause/fix
I believe there’s levels. Cuz in one game that I’m given the *upper hand* in the desync weird thing, i can flatten most of the lobby but still run into a team where i lose my aim and they move way faster than me.
But absolutely correct. It can give a gold plat level player perfect aim against me, literally mostly headshots. If i move for a second in the open bullets connect to me like magnets. I die instantly
Or- it can give me all the *resource* or whatever we wanna call it. And i can what feels like almost aim bot the lobby. I can dance around bullets when running in the open. Easily
But if what ur trying to say is that this is controllable and not somehow some engagement based matchmaking then idk that’s crazy
It also Seems like we don’t just *fix* the game to work at 100%. It sometimes feels like I’m at 150% and I’m literally aimbotting. Too weird

Re: Finding root cause/fix
I saw it in cs2 dm the other week. My base movement speed changed multiple times in one match, I flew out of bounds then my game was sped up and was fully synced, perfect mouse and keyboard inputs, zero input lag, one taps, picture quality perfect. Obviously I'm never allowed that consistency

Re: Finding root cause/fix
Why do you keep repeating yourself? You already said this we get it you have the same problem as we do. What progress do you make by constantly whining?astroasis wrote: ↑05 Sep 2026, 16:14I saw it in cs2 dm the other week.

Re: Finding root cause/fix
Nope, I don't agree, male gigolo. The majority (like 95%) as you say are in the average range, their game is not too good and neither too bad. The "issue" affects 100% of the players 100% of the time, just the severity is usually/mostly average.MaleGigolo wrote: ↑05 Sep 2026, 12:13I've already explained this in my previous comment but none of the tweaks that you do that temporarily help you actually address the underlying problem.

The guy who said it's like 150%, yeah, you're unstoppable when it's right. And no, it's not skill, it's when you have enourmos advantage over others.
I've had 80 year olds beat me because their game ran perfectly. Skill and hardware don't matter from the point when you know the game well enough. Your reaction time and mouse movement precision is decided by the game, not because you were born to be "a pro gamer" lol

Re: Finding root cause/fix
Why are you playing against 80 year olds? Are you in retirement home? The stuff you will read in this forum...simon wrote: ↑06 Sep 2026, 13:32Nope, I don't agree, male gigolo.

Re: Finding root cause/fix
Yeah, what a bunch of nonsense. I'm just a schizo who for some reason has something that you're all looking for, just in another unknown old game.

Instead of trying to make people understand it (what good do I get out of it anyway?), I'll continue to enjoy smooth game and "joystick like" mouse movement.
Good luck on that high horse.
