Interpolation in CS2 helps smooth out player movements by predicting actions between server updates. Proper settings can significantly improve hit registration and reduce apparent lag.

Key CS2 Interp Commands:

• cl_updaterate 128: Sets client update frequency from server
• cl_interp_ratio 1: Controls interpolation delay multiplier
• cl_interp 0.015625: Sets delay between server and client (15ms, ideal for stable connections)
• cl_interp 0.03125: Alternative setting (31ms) for less stable connections

To Apply Settings in Autoexec:

1. Navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg
2. Create/edit autoexec.cfg and add:

cl_updaterate 128
cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_interp 0.015625

3. Add +exec autoexec.cfg to CS2 launch options in Steam

Important Considerations:

• These settings won't fix poor internet connections
• Experiment with cl_interp values to find your optimal setting
• Default cl_interp is 0.1 (100ms)
• Only modify if experiencing issues like delayed hit registration
• Results may vary based on connection stability

Tips for Best Results:

• Use 0.015625 on stable connections
• Switch to 0.03125 if experiencing stutters
• Ensure stable internet connection
• Monitor performance after changes
• Adjust based on personal experience

These optimizations work best for players experiencing delayed hit registration or "teleporting" enemies. If you're not having issues, default settings may suffice.
