One of the biggest problem in 2025 in my opinion

[neweraa]

Hey everyone, before reading this post, please take all the information without bias, without thinking it's some kind of crazy idea.
I'm tired of all this. We're living in 2025. Why are people still chasing tweaks that provide temporary benefits? There's only one in a million truly useful things here, it's all useless, although in any case, everyone suffers as they please.

I want to raise another issue: I'd like you to tell me if you've had similar experiences or anything else.

Basically, I play Faceit with friends, three of us, and EVERY game our game responsiveness fluctuates. For one of my friends, the game runs reliably well, but for me and my friend, it fluctuates every time. Either nothing registers for him, or it doesn't for me. And it's not just the registration, but the way opponents engage you – instantly, and they also kill you.

My question is, have you encountered anything similar? You're playing in a group, and every time the game works differently, sometimes better, sometimes worse. But there's simply no stability. This is absurd. What is this? A 50/50 system from Faceit? (It still annoys me that Faceit integrates its own thread into the CS2 core. I tried playing without anticheat and changing the affinity and priority of some threads, and after these manipulations, I repeated the effect of this undoing, where nothing registers and everyone kills you instantly. This is just nonsense. I started to slowly log out of people, and for me, everything registered.)

So after this, there are so many questions - what is this? Electrical input lag, Faceit's doing, or something else entirely?
Please share your experience, even if you think it's complete nonsense. Just remember situations where you suddenly couldn't play for one game, and tell me what could have potentially influenced it.

Any experience you have would be greatly appreciated. I want as many people as possible to know about this problem; it's absolutely terrifying.

Something to think about - You have different opponents with different skill levels. And from my own experience my internet stability is very unstable, so sometimes it runs good and sometimes bad. I notice this when I start to randomly rubberband. I mean just think about it, we are in 2025 (soon 2026) there are more and more ppl with high speed internet plans.
I mean I dont know your situation, just my opinion my thoughts on this.

I personally fixed it using ONfilter. I can share a video of me playing with the device. I’ve tried every other solution from Power Conditioners to UPSs to generators. This is the only one that works for me. You do need to have grounded outlets in your home for it though.

I won't butt into every single topic but I have to claim this every time. I, for years now managed to have consistently low latency with minimal problems from what might be EMI. Drivers and Windows versions change over the years, so do the settings that are needed to achieve the best results. This is about the third post in two days where someone writes how setting up things properly is placebo. Not everything is about regedit and even regedit values have their uses but for some reason most of you are stuck in some kind of mindset about how things work.
Also this is just modern gaming. You are a puppet and no matter how you push, it is up to the server how much opportunity you are given. Another thing is that I have very bad input lag in CS2 only. I can't imagine meeting the ridiculous requirements for FACEIT where you have to enable all of the worst Windows and BIOS settings.

Some people are so lucky. They peek they adjust they miss they go back peek again shoot again but still can be alive. If i peek and cant kill the enemy in 1 sec i got killed by armless bot.
