About LAG on cs2

[furyzao]

Guys when i turn on telemetry parameters to check QFPS and MS AND ping
i see my PING STABLE AT 40. my fps 350+ STABLE aswell with 240 on 1% low
but the (MS) is going from 5.2 5.0 8.0 to 120 + and then i goes back to 5,2 etc...
and when it goes high it gets heavily lag, almost as an internet problem, but my internet is fine in every other game i play, anyone knows how to fix it? or had the same problem?

Same, and don't know to fix it.

Same. Some kind of netcode or server issue. I'm getting stable 30-40ms which is somewhat normal to the higher side. But every 30 seconds to a min or even less I get massive lag spikes that jump me up to 150-200. Then drops back to normal. Keeps happening on multiple servers, not sure if just an issue with me but I've seen a lot of people saying they're having issues on cs2 with server lag, and their internet is fine and other games are fine. So starting to think there's actually an issue with how many others are all getting the same experience. But it's impossible for me to play right now because I'm getting peeked and dead before my game catches up. The second I see their model I'm already dead. Always happening during crucial gunfights lol.

EDIT: oops this post is from months ago, but I am experiencing this too.

Same here, sadly :( the game is unplayable even though I have invested a good inventory... I just don't want to give it all up after all these years...

to fix it, go to nvidia panel, search for LOW LATENCY MODE, and select ultra, then go to counter-strike and select nvidia reflex mode, ultra + boost.

if it dont work, go to your BIOS SETTINGS, go to XMP if you intel or EXPO if your AMD user, and DISABLE IT, yes it may seen strange that you should disable something that "boosts your memorie performance" but cs2 is a NON OPTIMEZED game, and that fix worked for me! try it and let me know

Now, this comment/solution is jarring. Never in my life have I had to go out of my way to edit some files (Which I did, and it still doesn't work, NVIDIA, Game Settings, etc.). CS2 should have been optimized from the very start. I remember CSGO when, for almost the entirety of its existence when I was a teen, I never had any lag-based issues for long periods of time until CS2 came along and mucked it all up.

Now, as a fully-fledged working adult, I saved up for a good computer that could last me a decade or so compared to my old PC, which sounds like an airplane engine. I may not be speaking for all of us, but we're just coping at this point that our game that built our childhood, we WANT this game to be GOOD, and we're supporting it, but this game is comparable to an addict that's sucking up copious amounts of cash from us supporters and never truly going into rehab and bettering themselves for us...
