40 Ping not good enough in CS2?

[ouch-that-hurts]

Let me start this thread by saying I have played counter strike since 1999, right up to source. I played a little bit of CSGO but not much - 80 hours or so. So I know what to expect when it comes to performance.

I installed CS2 last week and I am experiencing strange lag in CS2.

My ping sits around 40 - no major spikes, wired connection to the router, fiber to the room.

My FPS sits around 80+

Yet, when there is a lot of action there is lag, for example reloading the animation will stutter, throwing a grenade It might do a half throw before resetting and doing a full throw. strafing out a corner I can get shot while still in cover.

I am based in Japan, is this an issue with Asia servers?

I remember back in the day playing 1.6 / source with 80 / 150 ping on American servers and not running into this many issues.

Thanks.

No, it's good enough. My friend had 40-50 ping and didn't got the problem before (two weeks ago for cs2), I guess it's just cs problem due to updates. Cs2 uses "subtick" than csgo's direct ticks, so it's kinda different. It also cost almost double bandwidth than csgo. I'd say that try uncapping the network bandwidth limit in setting to "unlimited" and see if it helps. If it's not, then i guess wait for further fixes.

Hope this helps!

No not really. 64hz is even faster than 60hz which needs 16ms ping for smooth play in a game with no lag compensation. So like...you gonna need less than 15 for this. Otherwise you will get subticked by anybody with a closer to whatever 64hz is in ms ping than you because this game is making a list its checking it twice. It takes 2 ticks to determine who's laggy and who's nice. And will rollback on you and delete your inputs.

I have 40 ping on east coast north america and anyone I play against who has <15 ping is almost unkillable in a straight up gun fight. I have to outplay them so monstrously hard to stand a chance, it feels like half my bullets just pass right through them and they see me a full second or two before I see them. Genuinely unfair and valve REALLY needs to invest in either better servers or put them in strategically better locations

80 fps is pretty low by itself and if your fps dips to around 50-60, of course you'll experience stutter and there is gonna be some input lag introduced.
Try to upgrade your system if possible and keep fps 100+ at all times

Fps has nothing to do with ping? Get better pc?

Just started playing again recently, I have less than 20 ping at all times and my fps is always above 200. There are big lag spikes where player models will skip, voice coms distort, etc. Don't know the problem, other games seem to have no issues.

It's just some animation bugs and probably related to the new subtick system colliding with something, I have between 5-15 ms ping on my fibre optics connection with cable and I still experience these stutters now and then too.
