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.

How to keep it steady
I’ve been dealing with this problem for 6 years, and on my current system, if I don’t touch the computer for 2–3 hours, the game runs smoothly for the first half hour after launching. Then the issue gradually starts to appear. Is there a way to keep it performing like it does at the beginning?

Re: How to keep it steady
is your outlet grounded? I kinda want to know if maybe the grouding can "clean" the interference if we are not touching the mouse/kbkadirg wrote: ↑03 Jul 2025, 11:28I’ve been dealing with this problem for 6 years, and on my current system, if I don’t touch the computer for 2–3 hours, the game runs smoothly for the first half hour after launching.

Yes it is grounded but voltage isn't stable it changes every second 240 to 245.internetexplorer4 wrote: ↑04 Jul 2025, 06:11is your outlet grounded?

Re: How to keep it steady
try to let the pc running something while you're away for those 2-3 hours, or just put a macro that sends mouse and keyboard inputs constantly, so you can see if that happens because the pc is idle or if its because you're not touching it at allkadirg wrote: ↑05 Jul 2025, 11:57Yes it is grounded but voltage isn't stable it changes every second 240 to 245.internetexplorer4 wrote: ↑04 Jul 2025, 06:11is your outlet grounded?

if you see that is probably because you're not touching the pc then theres something you can do, but you'll need a second pc (or laptop) for that, you can use a software called input director so you can control the mouse and keyboard from another pc, so you'll be using that pc without touching it, if that is the problem then it should work. maybe you can try to do it with your phone, I think its possible but honestly idk about the latency, I know that input director has basically 0 latency if both pcs are next to each other, and I also tried with parsec, if you look at the monitor of the pc that is being controlled and not the one that you're controlling from, its basically 0 latency too, however that thing about not touching the computer for 2-3 hours and getting better gameplay doesnt happen to me so idk if I should try after 2-3 hours, I only tried that instantly
let me know if you have any results if you try that

The exact same thing happens to me and I've tried everything and I still don't have the solution.kadirg wrote: ↑03 Jul 2025, 11:28I’ve been dealing with this problem for 6 years, and on my current system, if I don’t touch the computer for 2–3 hours, the game runs smoothly for the first half hour after launching.

Re: How to keep it steady
I have the same issue. I tested all wireless peripherals for this reason, no improvementZINZIRIO wrote: ↑05 Jul 2025, 21:40The exact same thing happens to me and I've tried everything and I still don't have the solution.kadirg wrote: ↑03 Jul 2025, 11:28I’ve been dealing with this problem for 6 years, and on my current system, if I don’t touch the computer for 2–3 hours, the game runs smoothly for the first half hour after launching.

Re: How to keep it steady
even the headphones? can you try a separate desk for the monitor and pc? maybe if you touch the desk that the monitor or pc is on, the interference still goes through, also if there are cables in the ground try to not step on the ground directlyDMNCS wrote: ↑06 Jul 2025, 09:16I have the same issue.

and btw, do you also have grounding?

Re: How to keep it steady
do you have grounding? I'm asking for the same reason I asked the op, want to know if this is specific to those who have grounding, because if is then maybe the grounding can clean the interference to some extentZINZIRIO wrote: ↑05 Jul 2025, 21:40The exact same thing happens to me and I've tried everything and I still don't have the solution.kadirg wrote: ↑03 Jul 2025, 11:28I’ve been dealing with this problem for 6 years, and on my current system, if I don’t touch the computer for 2–3 hours, the game runs smoothly for the first half hour after launching.

Re: How to keep it steady
Yes, I have a ground connection and it is much better than a conventional one and it is not the solution either.internetexplorer4 wrote: ↑08 Jul 2025, 00:15do you have grounding?

Re: How to keep it steady
Now I'm trying with 2 pcs running connected with InputLeap. Gaming on my main pc, keyboard and mouse plugged to other pc. It feels good for now. I will update.
