Lag Spike? Input Lag? I'm looking for help with solution.

Hello,

I'd like to ask you to help me analyse and fix problem that i have been having since early launch of 2042. The first few hours or release was the only moment i didn't have it and i thought it's all related to rubberbanding that all players have experienced. After fix came for rubberbanding it appeared issue still exists for me. I am not sure if it's lag spike, input lag or anythinng else, forgive me but i'm not familiar with all technical difficulties hence why i decided to ask here. Here are short clips of how does it look and i'll try to explain afterwards what's happening:

In both clips i'm moving my mouse constantly however in the end you can see it stops, this is where my mouse and keyboard stops responding - my soldier follows direction himself. It looks always the same, there are two "lag spikes" one after another, they last for around a second in total and they occur every 40 seconds to 1 minute. Important thing to mention i believe is that from what i noticed everyone around is moving without any issues, there's no teleporting soldiers, vehicles, nothing that would imply it could be rubberbanding.

I'd like to add my PC specs are:

Ryzen Threadripper 1920X

Nvidia 2080TI

32GB Ram

Issue exists no matter what game settings i have (i've checked with the lowest settings and there's no difference).

I appreciate any help and if there's any information i need to provide to help with analysing this issue please let me know.

  • I solved the issue on my end by* completely reinstalling Windows 11.

    I did a full reset, wiping files (I backed up) and applications.

    Since then, this hasn't happened again.

    Hope this helps someone - I'm sorry that this is my only solution, I tried various other things while avoiding a full reset, but alas, that's literally the only thing that worked and it worked perfectly. I can play on full 128 server without even the slightst hitch.

    @EA_Atic Hello,
    Forgive me for late response but first week i didn't have enough time and later i wanted to play with new update to see if it changes anything.
    Unfortunately problem still persists in every single game now. Answer to your question is no, there are no markers whatsoever regarding connection or frames.
    Here are another examples how it looks:

    In both clips lag happens in the end and as you can see in the first clip despite "jump" or "cut" vehicle drives smoothly and perform an action, there's no rubberbanding, no teleporting, nothing.
    Best regards

    @Jannonek hmm, control frezzing I dont think thats just "normal" delayed input. Do you tab out in and a lot?

    @EA_Atic no i don't tab much, occasionally. Sometimes not at all. May tabbing out have any influence like this?

    I have this exact same issue. Literally cannot solve it.
    Sometimes it's worse than other times, but it's absolutely horrible.

    Have you figured out a way around this?
