There's a big difference between network latency and input lag. Taking 100 ms for the server to register a hit on an opponent is annoying, but acceptable. Takin

There's a big difference between network latency and input lag. Taking 100 ms for the server to register a hit on an opponent is annoying, but acceptable. Taking 100ms for the game to notice me moving my mouse to the left and shift my view is not.
- fooker 8y agoOk, so input lag will be 2*your ping. An input lag <40ms is barely perceivable and 40-80 is playable. So, you'll need a ~20 ping, which is reasonable for a fast connection.
- Ajedi32 8y agoInput lag is actually equal to your ping. Ping measures round-trip time. I don't know what my input lag was during gameplay, but it was certainly enough to be noticeable.
