First off, check your internet connection; a wired connection is way more stable than WiFi. Lower your game settings, especially the graphics and shaders, to reduce strain on your PC. Also, make sure to update your graphics drivers, they can really impact performance. Don't forget to close background apps, especially those hogging internet bandwidth. Lastly, consider adjusting your in-game settings like 'Rate', 'cl_updaterate', 'cl_cmdrate', & 'cl_interp' to optimal values for your connection.

Some folks say to upgrade your PC but honestly, just tweaking a few settings works. Lower graphics, get a good internet plan, and maybe clean your PC inside out. Dust can actually cause lag too by overheating your components!

Honestly, if you're still lagging after trying everything, it might be your internet provider. Not all ISPs are gamer-friendly.
