@Chbmr18 First of all, I'm super jealous of that 10gigabit internet.

My only guess is something allocating more bandwidth to your partner on your modem/router (QoS). I'm curious about what home networking setup you're using to split 10 gigabit service between the machines at your house, I assume something fairly enterprise-y. If they are playing 2042 and you play any other game does it lag at all? Have you run any ping tests to see if your ping is having issues or maybe you're dropping packets?

There's networking debugging features in the options as well that you can enable to see if the statistics look vastly different between the two of you.

Enable the network performance features, record 5min of game play and post links here.

Ideally include

Clip of you playing solo with no issues
Clip of you playing with partner with issues
Clip of partner playing with you

Also have your partner play on your PC while you play on theirs. Does your partner experience the issues on your PC? Do you notice the issue while playing on theirs? I suspect you both have the same issue, but you are more sensitive/perceptive of it.

Are you both wifi or hardwired? If wifi can you try hardwiring to see if that fixes it? Can you swap router cables/ports with your partner?

As Anobix points out I would look into QOS and see if disabled helps, failing this do both of you have static IP's. It is usually recommended that you do when playing on the same network.
