Switching Weapons Lag

Recently, whenever i try to switch weapons or pull out a grenade, it lags/rubberbands back to the previous weapon. This will happen with all items, nades, guns etc. This will even happen if im scoped in. I will mash my nade button and it will pull the nade out for half a second but will return to the scoped in weapon a couple times. Anyone experiencing a similar problem? Any fixes? I'm usually running around 120 fps and i typically have ~70 ping, but i move around the map just fine. This is only a problem with switching weapons.

Solutions So Far-

(Note that only a few people have had these work)

Play on Faceit.

I have seen a few people say they have no issue on Faceit servers, only Valve servers.

People do not have this issue on community servers either.

Stream Game to Discord.

Saw a few comments saying that this worked for some reason. No idea why.

Verify File Integrity

Some say that after doing this a few times, the issue was solved. Others have had no luck with this fix.

Delete Workshop Maps.

A few people have had success unsubscribing to workshop maps. Others say this doesn't fix anything. May be a person to person thing.

Also try- under the local folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\maps) Delete any files that contain the word workshop.

Latest update seems to have fixed the issue

This happened to me after the update! I thought it was my keyboard and mouse so I got new ones but same issue. We need a fix for this.

Same here, devs pointed me to this board and said it must be my network. Super frustrating

this is what is happening when you have packet loss, this game, unlike csgo, does not attempt re-sending switch weapon packet if it is lost

in csgo this also happened, but you would have instead seen the weapon drawing animation twice or thrice, actually making the animation longer for you since you can't shoot until it completes (first — client predicted, second — hopefully actual server-authoritative information)

shortly — cause is the same, but games are coded to behave differently in reaction to such network conditions.

I also have weapon switch lag and when I throw grenades there is a speed lag. And the most annoying thing for me is the „drifting“ when I try to jiggle peak. Anyone else experiencing „drifting“?

I have this issue as well but mostly only when I'm lagging. Then I kind of expect it. Still sucks though. Happens at least 5 times a game for me. I have noticed that i will drift when jiggle peeking though... and i know for a fact it's not due to lag. i have tested with cq_netgraph 1 and there was no noticeable lag happening. Hope they fix this soon.
