valorant desync/network ONLY thread
Posted: 15 Aug 2025, 06:06
windows tweaks/hardware tweaks dont come in here please, you have your own threads.
Here we go again. ive just experienced the reminder that its all game/network/lagcomp related in most cases.
first 6 rounds were impossible - the usual stuff - ferrari peeks, players ignoring movement tagging, feeling like playing half a second in the past, strafes and crouching being useless, had to use my brain and try to break the timings
then a player disconnected
and suddenly the game easy to play, the difference is night and day, my strafes and crouch key are finally working as intended, it all finally felt like i played against 60/144hz brokies that cant aim and react, as it should be in ascendant lobby. We won 12-8 despite being down 5-9 in a 4v5 game.
This is not the first time such thing happens. What rarely helps is toggling some crappy vpn with occasional 1-2% packet loss spikes and reconnecting. I also got baited into buying edgerouter x but i guess its all a scam.
Some examples, keep in mind that these people cant aim, the fact that i move constantly, the fact that im probably holding an off angle and i probably did not make any sound to get prefired

Have you experienced this? If there is any success stories, what did you do to combat/manipulate valorants potato code? Also, in my case, and probably yours, the ping/jitter/packet loss has no effect on this - the game can behave just equally bad on both 70 and 120 ms.
It is obviously ISP related but they probably wont even bother setting up their hardware properly and i dont even know what to tell them, i wish i knew
