Hey guys !
Well, It's been a while since I started playing overwatch with xim4.
And as I became more precise at aiming, latency became a huge problem
As you all know, overwatch servers on PS4 are not on the same page as those used for PC ...
Well, that said there are still some room to improve your experience actually
So here they are as far as I know :
- Get yourself a low response time monitor :
- most tv are high in response time, so to optimize your experience, get a gaming monitor ! - When you play, make sure ( if possible ) that your bandwidth is mostly dedicated to you ( for example, if you watch tv through your internet connexion, switch it off . If you are downloading your latest episode of game of throne ... pause it
) Also be careful if you have a connected hard drive ( like "my cloud" from western digital for example ) it swallows a lot of bandwidth and can slow down your ping A LOT - Xim4 related :
For most keyboard and mice, switch of the led lighting as it will drain the power from your little xim4 adaptor and possibly make it more laggy ( for some reasons ) - Also try to use a usb powered suply to help you ( same reason as above )
- And at last :
if despite of optimizing all the stuffs above it is still laggy, then try to limit tick rate for client/server.
A weird consequence of limiting client/server is that, as you refresh less your datas, you'll see yourself more precise
( some random shot will land ) . My guess is, since you refresh less than normal, somehow ennemies random moves will appear less random as the movement will sometimes not be updated in time . And since what you see in your screen is what will decide if you land a hit or not ... it's like you hit an ennemy which movements has been slowed down a bit
► Well, let me know if you have the same feeling by using this technique , as it is just feeling I have ( I may be wrong, so if someone could try and confirm it could be cool )
If you can see other advices share it here so that we can all benefit to it
