I completely fixed desync in online games.

The problem turned out to be the screws on the graphics card and CPU cooler. I first serviced them, then tightened them loosely, meaning I tightened them just enough to hold them in place. I ran stress tests, and everything went as usual, but stuttering in games completely disappeared, and enemy models stopped moving quickly. You don't need to configure anything in the OS; just set XMP/EXPO in the BIOS. Please share your results. I know it sounds like nonsense, but try it.

I mainly play Escape From Tarkov, but in EFT Arena I had absolutely bizarre stuttering, with player models flickering and moving abnormally fast. After fixing the issue, the game runs like this; for some reason, YouTube plays it at 30 fps.

Mouse lag and damage registration have also been fixed. I suspect the issue was caused by chips deforming under pressure. This problem may be widespread, as if you haven't previously serviced your graphics card and processor yourself, they may simply be too tight.

I have a licensed Windows 11 installation, and all features and other standard settings are enabled by default. The only thing I disabled was mouse acceleration in the settings. You don't need to disable or uninstall a bunch of standard applications or make questionable settings, and you don't need to disable everything in the BIOS either. Everything should work perfectly on default settings.

I'm uncertain but it may be tide to variable frame rates. How do variable client side fps conflict with server side frequencies? Idk

It seems logical to me that the sudden movements of enemy models or deaths behind walls are related to PC performance. I'm suggesting something that almost anyone can do without buying anything, and it might fix all your problems.

Temporary effect. I have already tried this before and some other user has also posted this few months back. 😂It's been how many days since it's been working for you?

It's been more than 7 days, so it's a shame this hasn't solved your problem :( Can you send me the article on this solution that was previously written? Maybe something else was suggested there?

I've been struggling with this problem since around 2018, and the only thing that effectively helped was loosening the screws on the graphics card and CPU cooler. Even though I experienced the same symptoms as everyone else. I mean about these bolts, I hope we understand each other well, unfortunately, I use Google translator, maybe something is not entirely clear in my messages.

Initially, I read this post and was skeptical, but after doing this, I immediately felt that everything started working as it should.
