Just wanted to say that i think this is an awesome video. Many people find this difficult to understand. There are other good explanations out there but many don't explain the concept as well as you do. The points you focus on and the way you present them make understanding the subject very easy and makes a difficult to comprehend subject very straightforward. The way you represented the concept visually was excellent and extremely helpful. Subscribed.

Lagcompansation has destroyed gaming

[@BlacK-tk8kp]

Truly awesome video, You explained everything perfectly but it's worth noting that after everything server always has to pick a tick to check, and since tick is obviously a integer you can't set tickrate to for example 1399.43 so if your interpolation is hafl a tick the server if forced to make the value colapse to either to 1400 or 1399, This is reason why low tickrate servers running let's say 10 tick per second have bad hit registration, The distance between those two ticks can be huge and could make a gap between two ticks large enough for you to miss a shot even while aiming directly at a head since you are aiming inbetween two ticks at a interpolated position.

Man, this stuff is great to know in theory even if you're just an amateur developer attempting lag compensation. This isn't even the craziest sort of trick that developers have used. There was a story somewhere about the way that the grenade throws in Halo work, about how the grenade speed appears faster in third-person than it is first-person, since there will be a delay of its appearance from the client's side, to the server and then to the viewing player.

[@crypterion_moon]

Thank you for this video, I only ever had a vague idea of how it works but now I have a much better idea. I don't play CS:GO but the online game that I do play has incredibly horrendous desync that happens in pvp. There's only one server that doesn't suffer this and it's KR. Tick rate was mentioned and given what I know now, I'm convinced there's no way to actually fix desync

[@Qwertype315]

this also means that, if you are a laggy client you have a dramatic advantage when peeking around corners, as you get a few additional miliseconds to see and shoot your enemy before they can retaliate. though that advantage disappears if you seek cover, allowing them to catch up.

[@DevinDTV]

not true, since your shot won't reg until after your ping. there's actually no advantage to having high ping while peeking.

[@OnceShy_TwiceBitten]

@@DevinDTV lag comp makes up for it and give the advantage to the high ping player, they peak first you dont see it they shoot. and it hits the server first. in normal gun fights where you see each other at the same time, yes lower ping works in your favor. the opposite is true for holding an angle or peeking etc. so if your ping is high you run and peek angles first. (not like 5 or 20 over but like 100 over etc) you will generally lose most battles where you are both there at the same time. but if you know someone is behind a wall and you push it you will def get those kills first IF your skill is on the same par to prevent the server from sending the info to his client before you actually killed him and he reacts quicker than you kill, ie dont have bad aim and you will see how high ping helps peekers.

[@RM-mf1fj]

also if you have high ping and peek enemy models appear depending on your ping, yes they appear after some time

[@JonelKingas]

[@mousetum]

A very informative video, thanks a lot! Yet, there is one point I think it might not be completelly accurate: the blood splatters. As I know from other sources, blood splatters don´t depend of server confirmation to pop up, I think they depend solely of your own client and the source engine working entirely from your point of view. That´s why it may occur that in your screen you hit an enemy and see blood flooding the place all over but it´s an illusion as the server may think otherwise. Leading to the classic: "how didn´t he die!?!?!?" Anyway, thanks again for this very informative and well explained vídeo.

[@DevinDTV]

+mousetum I believe that used to be the case but isn't anymore. I could be wrong. I know bullet holes are client side and don't actually match up with where shots land anymore because there's server side RNG now.

[@mousetum]

+DevinDTV Hey, pleased to meet you. I think you are right. I got offline in an aim training map with bots and what you expose happens. When you enable "show impacts" in dev. console, the red spots (client side if I´m not wrong) mark the wall hits, but only the blue spots (server side) define damage to the bots and trigger blood splatters. So I guess you were 100% accurate with your video. A very interesting topic. Kind regards.

[@MrJaaaaake]

At around 1:45 the reason this is a problem is because player A didn't even see player B. Which makes him an easier target. When an enemy sees me I strafe and make my movement hard to track. If I didn't see an enemy I don't do this .I become an easier target because of that.

[@gabrielandy9272]

cs go have a good netcode, but some games have crap lag compensation that acctualy give a advantage to the lag..... on cs go its just cry baby because u saw then for the exact same time they exposed so its totally fine to kill then... but some games the check is done clientside with allow bad connections to shoot a frozen enemy, in other words depending on how the game netcode is, its bad or just people crying.... cod have a history of having crap netcode tho.

[@weigurde]

Nice video, but maybe you could explain how interpolation impacts hitboxes depending on ping of clients? Ex. If you were cheating, you can rewind hitboxes up to 200 ms behind where they are clientside, but if you artificially raise your ping, you can rewind them up to 400 ms back.

[@Bzk--]

I have to be honest, I didn't understand half of what you said...Probably it's just because English is not my mother tongue. So basically we will never have a 100% accurate representation of the other player's position, but just an extimation which will never be accurate?

[@davidszabo7814]

Exactly. It can be called accurate because it was accurate somewhere in the past, but never going to be accurate in the present.

[@DevinDTV]

+Kris If you're getting reasonably good FPS, I don't think it could be hardware. It sounds like packet loss if anything.

[@The-Internet]

DevinDTV I can get up to 300 fps but I cap it at 120 because of my monitor. I do get packet loss at times, would any of the interp commands remedy this at all?

[@DevinDTV]

yeah, a higher interp ratio should make things smoother

[@bhiden6460]

+DevinDTV so should people with good internet speed and low ping with low packet loss have these settings as well? like, what should my settings be if i have around 2-30 ping and 60mbps?

If you aren't getting packet loss, afaik interp shouldn't help you, so the lowest setting is best.

[@nephew455]

Part of the issue with this is that not only do I sometimes get hit after I have already gone back behind cover and it ""pulls" me back out to where I was(or thats how it feels) But sometimes when I go to pop out again it screws up my timing to strafe and aim because suddenly I get pushed back to a few feet where I previously was.

Your issue is called rubber-banding and is a packet loss issue. Basically there's a problem on your ISP side, you should contact them if this happens frequently.

[@GottsStr]

Thank you for explaining it. I have a question: what if the client send packets of hitting the enemy instead of the position of the shooting. Would it be more efficient? How to prevent packet sniffing / cheating? Sorry for my english.

[@DevinDTV]

you can do that, then the server has to check if it agrees that the shot should have hit the target (by shooting server-side and doing lag compensation and seeing if it would have hit). i think it is more efficient.

[@spera438]

Could you make more videos of how this really works. I'm very intrested in how ex_interp works. Both for cs 1.6 and cs:go. I perfer a higher value than standard interp when set to ex_interp 0(auto interp value). I'm using ex_interp 0.032 for cs 1.6. To me it's just like the bulltes won't count. like you have showed in this video. But you say it in a confusing way. What's the difference between lag compensation and ex_interp?

[@DevinDTV]

Interp is a client-side delay that allows the client to smooth the position of a player model between ticks. Lag compensation adjusts whether or not your shots register based on your ping and interp, compensating for both. Basically lag compensation determines if you were actually aiming at someone when you fired. Interp does nothing useful for people with good internet afaik.

[@kristofkohari]

This is the problem with multiplayer games. For example, I came back to warface but on ps4 and I play for about a week now. I mainly do PvP to practise and it is more fun. Because of me having a higher average ping than other players (which I cannot manipulate) I can barely ever actually get a good match (high amount of kills). As in whenever I get close to an enemy player, I can shoot then in to the head at close quarters and still not deal the full amount of damage I should or none at all if I die between half my ping and when I shot.

[@josephpaulduffey873]

Yeah, but in this video Devin seems to be presenting lag compensation as if it's a "no harm" scenario. Right at the beginning, he makes it sound like somehow the other person just gets the same information later. In other words, he seems to be saying that if you peeked a door, they just see it a bit later and it's a fair shot since you peeked. That is COMPLETELY NOT TRUE. The entire field of players is on different delays and processing times. The information itself takes longer to send and receive on a continuous basis for the delayed parties. That essentially takes your peak and stretches it out in an artificial time while you are long gone. If there was no delay like this, there would be no need for lag comp. The long delay players are essentially sticking the game in continuous taffy. With bullets, the long delay means the servers package everything up from the taffy players in to to a big burst update that hits the low ping players in an artificially short amount of time. This happens on a continuous basis. The game state is continuously distorted and artificially bent towards the delayed parties. Positions are distorted. Data rates are distorted. Lag comp distorts things like sinusoidal motions as well. Extremes may be damped for example. That can potentially make hitting a strafing target virtually impossible. Lag comp should always have a minimal peak threshold and everyone else should just lose out for their slow connection to the server.

[@gabrielandy9272]

on cs go its true...... in some games its not because they have crap netcode, cod for example have a history of having shit netcode that give advantage to the laggy player for example... on cs go it only check if u aimed correctly of where the server think the enemy was.... in some games u client say u hit and the server accept that... also this burst can't happen in cs go, valve patched this on the engine long time ago(did work on cs source and older versions)... but its true that crap games have this issues bf also had this alot, when lag compensation is done right, it don't need a threshold... playing with 800 ping on cs go don't give any advantage at all..... totally different if it was on a crap netcode like cod and bf used to have :/ im all in for lag compensation that can make everyone be able to play, putting a threshold is bad because it means we will never improve the lag compensation and just limit it to achieve at most reduced dying behind walls is not the right way to do it, i will give u some examples of difference in lag it just show how different it can be inplemented.... netcode must be improved to allow the max ping possible to play without giving any advantage... as long as the lag compensation is only correcting the time difference its fine....... but if it accept packets without checking much things then its terrible, s4 league is a game for example that u can take the cable out of u connection shoot everyone and put the cable back in and everyone dies this don't happen on cs go, this is a example of bad lag compensation because s4 league just accept that the client said it shoot someone, cs go this don't happen because the check is on the server time no matter where the enemy is on u screen. overwatch and cs go have the best lag compensations on the tests i did...

The server is doing the same rewind and interpolation to register the hit... the fact that the travel time is lower is irrelevant just like the travel time (ping) is irrelevant to the fact that you died before seeing a player peak. The low ping client is buffering and simulating movement.. that shot is still rewinded to a previous point in time same as the high ping payers shot is to a previous tick.

[@DevinDTV]

ping doesn't give an advantage for hitreg but it does for order of events. most obvious example is unpeeking an angle with high ping. your client side prediction will move your camera out of LoS of an approaching enemy before you can see them, but you're still there on their screen, so you can end up getting shot by someone who never even appears on your screen the ordinary idea of "peeker's advantage" doesn't exist tho as i covered in another video

[@brendenbanks9293]

@@DevinDTV see that example doesn't make sense to me since the clients are predicting and buffering the game state to smooth things out. The enemies shot would be rewound and the server would see that your client was not where they saw you, no? Most netcodes now do have a heavier client side component I guess to 'favor the shooter." It is definitely more complicated than any explanationobviously

[@RM-mf1fj]

yes, try moving with +120 ping, if you get shot you get teleported so far behind instantly and it fucks up where youre aiming at

This is why I gave up on online gaming in general except maybe co-op. Even if you have a good ping, your skills won't actually improve nor will you find a challenge because others have higher ping and thus can be said that they aren't in the same playing field as you. Then it becomes worthless. Gamers giving up on LAN gaming was a big mistake.

[@DevinDTV]

+DarkStormErx Ping doesn't have a very big impact in CS:GO, until you've got something ridiculously high like 100+.

Why does adding artificial delay to the network not put lag compensation in one's favour?

[@DevinDTV]

+A Random Lag compensation just attempts to make your shots land where you were aiming them when you were aiming them, it doesn't help with lag in regards to who shot first.

[@arandom927]

+DevinDTV Thanks, for the reply, but I would like to know why adding lag does not affect the lag compensation in terms of moving around corners, and what the client sees, nothing appears to change no matter what degree of lag I apply to the WAN port. My only theory is that the netcode can detect a difference between artificial lag and real-world lag. I slightly disagree with you when you say lag compensation does not affect shooting, here is an excerpt from Valve's developer documentation: "This delay applies to all players actions like movement, shooting weapons, etc. and becomes worse with higher latencies. A delay between player input and corresponding visual feedback creates a strange, unnatural feeling and makes it hard to move or aim precisely."

[@DevinDTV]

I'm pretty sure your quote comes from an article about input prediction which is completely unrelated to lag compensation. Lag compensation compensates for the positions of entities when a shot is fired, for the sake of hitreg. It has absolutely no effect on anything else.

[@arandom927]

+DevinDTV Input prediction is a method of lag compensation, but can you explain why increasing the lag does not influence the interpolation for me?

how so?

The most thing I hate is when I shoot the enemy, nothing happens and I still die. Damn lag compensation. That's why I uninstalled this game.

You can't turn interp entirely off, unfortunately.

[@KindOldRaven]

I have 20ping average, never drop below 150 fps. My rates are 128000 and 128 per cmd/upd. interpolate 1. interp 0.015 something. Interp_ratio 1... yet when I play with interp_ratio 2 I get a lot more headshots to register. It's really weird... but There's times where I'm standing still (in DM for instance) aiming at ahead, spot on, and have to tap fire 5 times to hit it... it's absolutely shit for me atm and I can't figure out why =\ Am I used to basically shooting behind an enemies head instead of on top of it slightly? Nah that doesn't explain the standing still tap fire misses. Random misses I guess.

+Kind Old Raven Might just be bad luck with RNG.
