FIX Valorant NETCODE & HITREG DESYNC! -- FPS Cap / Memory Timings / MSI Priority / Interp / CS2

Ever been one tapped before even turning the corner? Swung by a Sukhoi F-15 Jett holding every angle? Valorant has been plagued with poor netcode, desynced hitreg, and impossibly bad frame pacing/input lag as a result of using 128 tick Unreal Engine 4. [TLDR IN DESCRIPTION]

No one had been able to solve the strange hit registration, shots that fly clean THROUGH hitboxes, and obscene peeker's advantage, even negative peeker's advantage that presented ONLY in Valorant - an equation with more than 5 unknowns. Today I'll show you how to rectify all these using EXTERNAL NVIDIA/AMD Framerate FPS caps and Modifying Ram slot placement and timings to 'correct' timings according to Valorant's sensitive netcode.

Unreal is more suscept than any other engine to desync and input lag, with Rising Storm and Red Orchestra being NOTORIOUS for having horrendous desync, FPS coded fire rate, movement and hitreg. Valorant is seemingly similar running on the same exact base engine of Unreal 4 modified to suit Riot's needs, but with the same gripes and sufferings such as an inconsistent frame time, poor frame pacing, a broken frame rate cap, netcode coded as minions tied to both reflex, FPS, and low latency mode.

This affected swaths of the playerbase with no solution for more than 2 years. Riot games has been caught once again saying they 'fixed netcode' this patch (again) just days prior.
Join me as I show how I solved Valorant's garbage hitreg across 3 vastly different PC's.

If you're overclocking this may be an especially big issue since you'll be fully stable on memtest HCI, but the game plays like garbage for no particular reason -

---TLDR---: [BACKUP YOUR OS DRIVE FIRST AND RUN MEMTEST HCI PER RAM SPEED INCREMENT - STAY UNDER 3000MHz for Slots 2 & 3]
1. Network device priority should be set either to High (correction from last vid), USB devices High, GPU being on LOW priority for the time being. Mind that some Wifi and ethernet adapters, especially the new intel line, require MSI MODE; and will BSOD on linebased mode. Avoid SATA/NVME modes but set prios to Low for Ryzen.

2. The in engine frame rate cap results in horrid frame pacing and causes you to miss shots you had hit, or see bullets flying through a phantom target whose hitbox isn't even there. Turn on FPS Cap on NVIDIA Control, or CHILL in AMD Control, with cap to your monitor's refresh -1. Then Use FAST VSYNC / ENHANCED SYNC respective.

3. Set of RAM timings I found can give consistent netcode in Valorant:
1-2-2-4 or 1-1.5-1.5-3.5 in that ratio -- I use 12-24-24-48 with 12 being the Cas Latency and 48 being the TRAS. Ratios apart from this outside 1.33333 and 1.5, appear to have horrendous desync when run in Valorant's comp games.

4. With all this in mind seat your ram in slots 2/3 to train consistent input lag for every single time you turn on your PC. This forces the motherboard, in theory, to train ram in adverse conditions to yield tighter timings and latencies than otherwise having a wide range of stable possible timings in slots 2/4. DRAM VTT needs to be at 47% of DRAM voltage. This ensures that your PC boots to identical input lag. TURN GDM OFF, start with 2133Mhz working to 2400MHz-3000Mhz testing on HCI memtest 0 errors 10000% pass - or 2400MHz on really bad motherboards [DDR4]. Start with COMMAND RATE 2T, especially on ASUS. Reduce speed if error, IMMEDIATELY

!!!If you have a B450 Asus, AB350 Asrock or B450 ASrock board, these ram speeds may be too high and need to be set to ~2400 if you don't use GDM or 2T.

PHD in Compsci not included - full video and commentary on channel 🤔

DDR5 4000MHz 40-40-40-116 is ideal. You should undervolt DRAM VPP

[yoloboie]

Need your help/recommendation on best timings for my setup:

I have an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with ASUS B550i motherboard. It only has 2 DIMM slots. For RAM I have cosair vengeance RGB PRO SL 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz with C18 Memory Kit. My GPU is nvidia rtx 3080

[johndoee]

nothing works. its just their servers. ive tried everything. I've played this game now at 3 different locations because I've moved 3 times since it was released. First time it was released I was on my best possible connection and I was constantly being accused of cheating. I moved to another location and I was also being called a cheater and I had 40% hs. I moved again but this time to an apartment complex and the internet here is the same as before but for some reason I have massive hit registration issues now. When I first moved here it felt ok and I was able to hit Immortal but about 2 weeks or so after Gekko release, something changed. All of my shots stopped hitting. Nothing hits anymore unless the person is literally not shooting me and standing still and even then i've seen my bullets miss.

What ram timing do you recommend for ddr5 6000mhz 32gb? I’m getting mouse lag when just using xmp.

[Scatterplayyy]

I replaced my MOBO and now I have only 2 dimms. Z790 Aorus Tachyon / DDR5 7200. What should I do?

[TheOairrr]

I bought brand new ram and its still same very poor hitreg and fully desync game it feels on faceit lvl10 2.8k elo

[Ayush-vuhg]

nothing is gonna happen the game is fucked, the only way to be consistent in the game is to get a high spec PC even then it is not a sure thing. the only possible solution is that somehow this netcode problem gets popular and RIOT has to fix it, also I don't think this is a very big problem to fix, funny how they copied everything from CS GO except from their a lot more consistent gunplay. I have switched back to CS GO, feels a lot better and you can actually improve their, waiting for CS2, valorant is not competitive, it is just a money making game and a game you can play with your friends to have fun that is all

[meme-zfew]

What should the priorities for the pci stuff be in msi util?

[RelaxxGamez]

How does this fix it, I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just curious. I think I have electric input lag and I want to understand it better. I’m mainly talking about the bios amd optimisations

[j.victorh.]

Try the following settings to improve hitreg

01 - NVIDIA Settings

Adjust desktop size, select:
01.full screen;
02.run scale in: Video;
03.Check to replace scaling mode defined by games and programs.

Disable the following services:

01 - Microsoft Account Sign-in Wizard (better hitreg)
02 - Sysmain and prefetcher

Hi can you help me, I got a 7800x3d and have a 32gb running on slot 2&4 and I have xmp enabled to 6000mhz. What should I do?

[vind]

But if u're using slots 2 and 3, your dual channel will not work, isn't it? Everyone saying that dual channel works only when your ram in 2 and 4 slots

[Dhruvr]

i have 5600x and b550 motherboard 3600mhz cl 18-22-22-42 and i have very bad hitreg what settings should i do?

[KAiiZERTOP]

Bro what about z790 mobo with i9 13900k and 64gb 6400mhz gkill ddr5 ? Please Nobody's talk about this.. it's an secret or what ? 😱

[nemesiz]

msi mode gpu low wait why? and why everywhere msi unchecked?

[vind]

bro, when I use same msi util settings, I have to reinstall windows, because it is dont even start, help pls

[occtavee]

aa cool I cant even change RAM timings in my bios haha unfair

[Maaury-br]

Hi bro! thanks for share your tips with us :D
i want to ask you 2 things:

first: i have a hyperx cloud ii wired headset and when i plug the usb dac, the mouse becomes heavier you know how can i fix this? without the dac i can't use the mic :s

2nd: i have 5800x with 3070, b450 plus gaming ii and for ram i have patriot viper steel 3600mhz cl20. the XMP profile give me 3600 with 20-26-26-46 timings, i read those are pretty bad and currently using 1600mhz 10-10-10-10-20 cuz i read in reddit that works better for mouse responsiveness. can you advice me about the timings for my ram?.

thanks in advance man :D

[sisimavl]

just get good guys you dont need this🤣🤣🤣. " I dont get kills in valorant, it definitely cant be me, it's just the game's and my hardware's fault" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and in this video when this guys showed us that he missed 3 shots he just whiffed(Running inaccuracy and bad aim)🤣🤣
