Insane packet loss after update?

[Shroomy]

Getting upwards of 40% packet loss upload and download at the same time, spikes of 220 ping and 80 ping 50% of the time, normal ping the other 50%. Anyone else having this issue? Worst packet loss I've ever seen in this game

im gettin 50 ping and %70-90 packet loss new update just came 10 minutes ago but same issue its time to delete

yup same here, constant packet loss 50% at least every game

What servers are you playing on? I get the same thing with Aussie servers as well as the subtick getting shot behind the wall thing

my understanding is that this packet loss has been there the entire time. my lag feels exactly the same but showing constant 10% - %40 packet loss up/down. i think we have been blaming this on subtick when its actually packet loss -- unless subtick is the cause of this packet loss.

Well Iam sitting same situation like you but different from your scenario a little bit, my ping was around <50ms but 40% packet loss with OpenWRT sqm with both Software flow offloading - Hardware flow offloading on, also enabled both DNSSEC - DNS Forwarding. And in-game settings max ping around <100ms configuration.
Hehe some players I had played with their lantency and mine may raise over time from Casual to Competitive mode

From what I've read you're pretty much right, the packet loss has been there the entire time but now it's actually being calculated and visualized in net graph. Still though I have been getting 220 out of nowhere a lot more frequently than I ever did before the update and my ping has been going non stop up and down, maybe that's part of the new measurements too idk. I feel like my connection is a lot sloppier now though when I play, maybe it's placebo.

im hitting a lot of headshots but many many are not reaching servers because of packet losses.
i see headshot animations sometimes 2 and 3 times but players dont die.
some will be spinbotting too but it had become worst

My headshots sometimes register but they happen 2 seconds after the shot making the game feel like ♥♥♥♥

yeah same for me

No. I had no packet loss of any kind before the update. I certainly wasn't warping around or rubber banding at all. Now I am. This is new. It has not "always been there".

I constantly get the dead behind a wall now - you never see them and you are dead.

Ive got a theory here, and you guys are gonna think im crazy, again. Its ok, im not offended.

I think vac 3.0 involves using more game data like reaction times, angles, ticks, yada yada. I have no problem with download, its only the upload i keep getting massive choke on.

Using waveforms buffer packet test thing, I do have some kinda jitter, but its not bad enough it would normally interfere with a game as simple as counter strike. Compared to a game like bf2042 with 50-100 players. But it did allow me enough data so I could tweak my connection so that these large ass data packets that the server is sending to me, and im sending to the server dont lagg my connection out.

I and others, started experiencing this around the time they deployed the limited vac 3.0. It could just be coincidence. I think now its just on by default for everyone, not just people being reported for cheating.

I got a feeling it may be connected. Now why would I think that?

I was able to fix the issue like 90% by limiting my bandwith. Its fine now in the casual servers when its 10v10 but I get this initial choke at the end and start of every round. Which I suspect might be when the game trys to upload the biggest packets.

My experience in competitive is pretty different. I get way more packet loss at random intervals. On top of that if I pull off a crazy shot, I will start to lag out mid round.

I think its because these data packets are to huge and they work fine on valve and their employees 200$ fiber internet and 500$ gaming routers but not so much on the average persons hardware.

I could be wrong, I often am.

If im right, then its very likely they know exactly who is cheating and who is not.

If it's the anticheat thing, I get stutter when I am heading towards enemies I can't see

So it's doing wonders as an anticheat by doing the opposite.

Well, I have gigabit cable internet. I get 900+ MB/s download and ~50-100 MB/s upload. I have no jitter or packet loss on any test I've run, but on CS2 it's insanely high. My internet should be able to handle anything and videogame can throw at it.

I've loaded up a couple other FPS games and I don't have any issues.
