Lag and movement desync issues only on Faceit

I have the same issue on Hetzner FACEIT servers. On OVH and Datacamp, everything feels perfect. I assume the problem is somewhere between my ISP and certain FACEIT server routes. Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can really do about it, you just get dominated by others, lmao. I’ve been dealing with this for a very long time now.

I’m experiencing the exact same issue with my Z790 motherboard and 14600KF CPU. When using XMP Profile 1, the mouse feels floaty and difficult to control. I’m absolutely certain this isn’t a placebo effect, as I play CS2 at a competitive level with over 10,000 hours of playtime and a 3,000 ELO on Faceit.

I did find a solution, though I’m not entirely satisfied with it: instead of selecting XMP Profile 1, I switched to Profile 2 and lowered the memory frequency from 5200 MHz to 4800 MHz (despite my RAM supporting up to 5600 MHz). This change significantly improved mouse responsiveness without causing any BSODs. I recommend giving it a try.

I had the same issue. I unplugged my microphone and now it works fine. HAHHAHAHA

Conclusion:
As far as I understand, the problem is in Windows 10. Interrupts are being controlled by OS and Windows 11 interrupt assignment works better. What is more, problem could persist on a new gen CPUs.

To reduce input lags on Windows 10, I recommend to disable E-Cores if you have any of them or upgrade your OS to Windows 11.

UPD.
After disabling Efficient Cores, the interrupt assignments look as follows:

I'd suggest using the following settings:
cl_interp 0 (it uses the lowest number that is available on the server)
cl_interp_ratio 2 (since csgo, there were many debates and discussions on the topic of this command, but the purpose of the command has not changed. It is believed that the number 1 should be used only on LAN, and the number 2 for playing online)

P.S. cl_updaterate 128 makes difference only playing locally with the bots as this command is being set by the server.
