found a fix for bad 1% and 0.1% lows

as everyone knows, this game is horrible for % lows and frametimes in general. 200+ fps can fee like 60fps and the game feels weirdly desynced. one week you will be dropping 2kd in faceit and next thing you know you cant hit anything.

but i have found a way to fix frametimes with an fps cap but not just any fps cap. it requires some tweaking of rivatuner settings and a steam launch option

for me to explain everything it will sound confusing so ill provide my cs2 profile for rivatuner and all youll have to do is put it inside the 'Profiles' folder in rivatuner directory which should be located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server"

for this to work correctly you also need to completely disable reflex from cs2 with steam launch option "-noreflex"

cs2 profile for rivatuner: https://www.mediafire.com/file/w4o4zttpe2qd9nf/cs2.exe.cfg/file

delete any cs2 profile you have in rivatuner and after you put the file where it needs to go completely close rivatuner and restart it. after that, you can open rivatuner and change the fps cap to whatever you like. preferably youd want to set it to an fps youre able to achieve pretty much at all times

normal fps cap any other way: https://ibb.co/201FJ7Jp

if you use any other method to cap fps, the game will push fps over your fps cap and it will also have really bad averages and % lows. but with my method, the highest fps stays at the fps cap and the averages along with the % lows are much more stable.
