CSGO/CS2 observations (2 tweaks for you to try)

[JimCarry]

Hi, I saw your post, but there is no specific solution to increase ping. Can you tell me here?

1. Clumsy 0.2
2. VPN
3. Router with OpenWRT and Netem plug-in
4. Linux

1 and 2 are not very good ways to do it. 3 and 4 are good but let's add 5 which i consider the best using OPNsense router. If you're asking yourselves why 1 and 2 are not viable it's because 1 is a software and lag at software level is not ideal, on top of that who knows what companies considers bannable. 2 (VPN) is not a good option because it completely changes routing and in some cases MTU values. That leaves us with OPNsense(BSD) / Linux router OS. There is absolutely no doubt higher ping plays a lot better than ping 2, it's not even a secret anymore. I'm not saying that those 65 ping players topping scoreboards are bad but they also play on "easy" mode which helps a lot, oh and they most likely don't have PC with input lag like most of us do.

PS: I never got the OK from Chief to post the tutorial or a link to it so if anybody wants i guess i can private message.

Then make a tutorial how to simulate slow internet connection for other reasons than gaming

BTW try to simulate low-end PC by decreasing your fps to 128 or 64 in CS2. You will be surprised.

so in katowice on 360 hz zowie monitor with latest cpu they put fps_max 64 ?

Did I mention anything about 360hz monitor or tournament in Katowice? Are you delusional?

Yeah man I know my tips are insane, because they actually have an impact on gameplay, instead of pretending to be smarter than microsoft software developers and fixing all their mistakes in the registry. 128 fps trick is well known in Valorant and helps a lot in hit registry and desync. In my case it reduces desync drastically and visually there is no big difference in smoothness between 128 and 400 fps.

Ok but does it work for cs2?

Yes, that part:

was about CS2. For me it makes significant improvement. Looks like it corrects packet transmission.

The tutorial has already been made and it's up on reddit you just need to search for it. Why would i want artificial lag for other reasons than gaming, i don't need lag when browsing or other stuff. While i appreciate your suggestion if i remember once i'll try but for me it doesn't really help a lot because my issues are more with the routing Spain has and framedrops. I have pretty much managed to get the mouse back with just a few tweaks and nothing crazy. Honestly the more default you keep ur machine the better, this is what i learned lately. Oh and old drivers do give packet loss, i didn't want to believe it either but it turns out to be true. Another thing to keep in mind is that a lot of software like Armory Crate, AORUS Engine, Corsair iCUE etc do introduce stutters. The artificial latency tutorial does not fix input lag in any way, it just levels the playground and counters russians/turks and honestly anything above 45ms you will need to change your playstyle because it's not the same.

[joseph_from_pilsen]

True but my only playstyle is to dodge them. There is no playstyle against players which you see not what they do but what they did 100+ms ago. Its clear disadvantage. Always dying from players accelerating shooting me to head when they should be defenseless (you cant normally hit head when accelerating before you deccelerate and stop to aim properly), sadly the cheap "lagcomp" works this style, in old good games laggers were permanently drawed back to prevent this unfair advantage and one-sided advantage desync. I dont join the game when there are turks/russkies/kazakhs and another "gifts" in opponent team and switch account and search again. Problem: there are only turks, kazakhs, russkies, portulags, finlags and arabs in MM/FCT.

You don't understand. I suspect that the reason why you can't post it here is because it's considered as cheating. Do it for other stuff than gaming, for example testing windows applications under slow internet conditions, and it's not cheating anymore but just a test.

Of course further interpretation belongs to the website administration.
