This issue has been confirmed by Fletcher Dunn that the game is sending more animation bandwidth than necessary. He confirmed that they're working to replace the old animation to a better one. But it takes time because it's a large project.

Rest assured, jitter issue is caused by the game and not from your side.

I have 500mbps fibre speed with 3ms ping. I still occasionally get jitter problems. There's absolutely nothing I can do until Valve fixes/improved their game netcode. Until then, we have to suffer for it.

Yeah bro, that packet loss + jitter combo is actual rage fuel 💀 Here's a quick breakdown and how to fix it — even if u have "good WiFi", doesn't always mean smooth CS2.

### 🔧 **How to Fix Packet Loss & Net Jitter in CS2**

#### 1. **Stop using WiFi (if possible)**
Even good WiFi = inconsistent for online shooters.
➡️ **Use Ethernet (LAN cable)** — it's a game-changer. Stability >>> speed.

#### 2. **Restart your router**
Simple but works. Flushes out garbage processes and can fix weird network issues.

#### 3. **Limit background apps**
Turn off downloads, streaming (YouTube/Netflix), Discord calls, and even cloud sync (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc). They **steal bandwidth and cause jitter**.

#### 4. **Use Task Manager to check if something is spiking**
Go to `Task Manager > Performance > Ethernet/WiFi` and look at traffic. Something sus? Kill it.

#### 5. **Use NetGraph in CS2**
Open console and type:
```
net_graph 1
```
You’ll see your **packet loss**, **ping**, and **choke** — super useful for spotting issues.

#### 6. **Try using a VPN**
Sometimes your ISP routes traffic like trash, and a VPN (like ExitLag or NoPing) can **lower ping and fix jitter**. Might be worth testing if you tried everything else.

#### 7. **Call your ISP**
If it's been consistent for days and you're not downloading 10 things at once, tell your ISP to check routing or packet stability. Could be on their end.

#### Bonus: **CS2 Launch Options**
Try adding this:
```
-high -tickrate 128 -novid +fps_max 300
```
Helps with performance/stuttering — not directly net-related, but smooths things out.

And if u *did* almost break your mouse, respect, but maybe just take a 5 min break before u do a Logitech sacrifice ritual 🔥🖱️😂

Let me know if u want help checking your actual settings.

That's some solid advice for those struggling with connectivity issues! It's true, even good WiFi can be inconsistent at times. Using Ethernet is always the most reliable option for competitive gaming like CS2.
Using a VPN can sometimes be beneficial too. Remember, your ISP might have traffic routing issues that a VPN could help bypass.

Thanks For Reading My Insight.

For sure bro, facts 💯
Glad u feel me on that — WiFi’s like that one teammate who hits shots sometimes, but disappears when it matters 😂
Ethernet? That’s the clutch god, always shows up.

And yeah, VPNs are underrated. ExitLag saved me from rage-quitting more than once.
Shoutout to all the gamers out here fighting their ISP harder than enemy team 😤

GGs and smooth ping to u, my dude 🫡

Happening to me since yesterday, i got red packetloss/net jitter every matches. Even with lowest ping server. Idk what valve do with this game.

[LiL J]

Yeah, i'm using wireless connection. I already reset my router couple time. Usually, that will be fixed when i reset router but idk why it not working this time.

WIFI is not for gaming, go hard cable

it got noticably worse after one specific patch. could also be the game engine. also the physics engine is broken in cs2. it was broken after one patch, they fixed it but added a huge delay of the calculations to it.

But what makes you think that though. Are you getting worse connection? are people in your matches complaining?

i watched the complaints in the forums.

about the physics, there was a patch. i noticed the delayed calculations after the "fix" myself

Man, this was happening last month and they fixed this jitter within 24hrs, and now this is happening to me ever since the servers went to ♥♥♥♥ couple days ago, we never had these issues in GO. This game is in such sorry state it's pathetic.

what is with gearupbooster this app
is it legit ?
