Settings to fix lag spikes in CS2
These settings include three commands you should write in your console, and they reportedly will make random lag spikes disappear.
The commands go as follows.
- cl_updaterate 128
- cl_interp_ratio 1
- cl_interp “0.015625” (for stable connection)
- cl_interp “0.03125” (for unstable connection)
How to open console in CS2
To open your command console in CS2, you’ll have to do the following:
Spreading awareness on this. INTERP settings changed my how CS2 feels (as found on reddit)
cl_updaterate 128
cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_interp "0.015625" (STABLE INTERNET)
or
cl_interp "0.03125" (LESS STABLE)
I’ve tried this as well, and it didn’t change how the game flows for me. On the other hand, I couldn’t complain about lag issues before I tried the commands either. Of course, I had them from time to time, but they were truly rare and not bad enough to negatively influence my gameplay.
Still, if you’re experiencing issues, go give them a try. If they indeed work for you and CS2 feels better, you could use them every time you launch the game. We believe, or at least hope, that these random lags will get fixed as the game continues to receive patches and updates.
For now, though, players should report similar issues to Valve, so they can be made aware of existing issues. So far, the devs have been appreciative of the feedback and seemed to tweak most of the bugs reported, so this could be the case as well soon.
