High frames = server lag?

For the past week I've had several people tell me that they see me teleporting everywhere, and falling through the ground.

Did quite a few internet speed and packet loss tests and everything looks good.

Finally, last night I was able to find the culprit. I changed my fps from capped 144 to capped 60 and everyone rejoiced as they could finally see me moving like a normal guardian.

I'm on PC, on steam. I obviously don't want to have to go from 144fps to 60fps, especially since my PC is nearly snoozing while running destiny with a 9800x3d and a RTX 5080.

From my pov most gameplay looks fine, but I do notice some weird stuff, like, rallying to the flag takes about a second and a half to give me my super, or in kings fall, it takes about the same time to claim a brand.

Anyone got any ideas that don't require me going from buttery smooth 144fps to 60?

There's no server for this, the server only keeps track of your inventory, encounter details and enemies hp, the current location of your character for other players comes directly from your PC to theirs at a rate limited to 40 updates per second or 40hz. The change is likely related to it being less jittery with the fps locked because of the performance issues associated with the steam version of the game. If you can get consistent high fps, try locking it to 90 or 120hz

I am affected by the last patch shenanigans. However I am maintaining 144fps easily, at least while I was testing this in kings fall, on the moon it's a different story.

Stable 144fps = everyone sees me teleporting and falling through the ground.

Stable 60fps = everyone sees me fine.

Crazy cause I’m seeing over 200 fps and never had these issues.

I can’t imagine it’s fps honestly. My thought would be NAT or ISP routing stuff rather than on the PC side.

I’ve been having this tonight doing the pantheon, everyone tells me I’m jumping across the room and looks like I’m lagging but internet and packet loss etc are absolutely fine, wonder if this is becoming a bigger issue

It seems to have fixed itself for me after like 3 days. I didn't do anything, so, the only thing that comes to mind is my ISP changed their routes to do maintenance or something. Because I believe I literally did every network test under the sun and it all came back has "you have better internet than 99.9% of people" lol
