 Okay, the setup is almost a million times better than I could have possibly anticipated. My PS4 is down there, Modem is here, and the Switch lands right where I could use it. I'm literally spamming eggs, bro. I don't know what's going on. Holy camoli. Dude. Bro. The purpose of a lag switch in most video games is either invincibility or invisibility. NBA 2K18 is the least skilled basketball game in the entire franchise, and you have to use lag switches to get ahead? I'm telling you, my guy is not a good look. I've been getting DMs saying that devs are even confused as to how it's possible to lag switch. So do you guys remember about four or five months ago I dropped a video of this lag switcher on the ante up? His name is Delayed Snags. I can't stand this stage, you're none of the people in this- Yo, I trust me. I noticed shit because I used to have a lag switch back when I played Socom. That was the meta. You had to have a lag switch. In case somebody tried to lag switch you, you needed to be able to fight against that shit. His lag switch broke. His lag switch broke. Bro, look at the ball. Look at the ball. Okay, since then I didn't think lag switching was going to blossom into this major issue it is now. But I've been getting more and more tweets. I've been getting DMs saying that devs are even confused as to how it's possible to lag switch. I am an ex-lag switcher. Back in the days, Socom was the first competitive game I played. And long story short, there were some fucking scumbags and they had lag switches. The only way you could hit back is if you had one of your own. So most people that were in the competitive scene built their own lag switch. So let's say you're playing an online game. You and another guy are facing off. Well, if you were to flip on your lag switch, you would appear frozen to him. In the meantime, you can run behind him, flip it back on, and as the server resinks, you will end up behind him, where you can do whatever you want. So let me explain the context because you need to understand what's really happening so you could get the full picture. This is a photo of a lag switch. It's not a complicated device. It's just the Ethernet cable with a switch attached. Just a regular light switch. The whole purpose of a lag switch is you basically want to control the consistency of your connection. So if you flip the light switch off, your connection is gone. And when you flip it back on, your connection is back. The purpose of a lag switch in the most video games is either invincibility or invisibility. You can turn the switch off and then nobody will know where you are. Well, on their screen, you'll be stuck like this because that's the last time you had connection. So your body will be stuck like this. But while you turn the lag switch off, you can run across the map. You can't use it too much or you'll lag out. You can run across the map. So when you switch it back on, it's like you teleported from this location to this location because you didn't have connection through all that running you were doing. Yo, use your stick, bro. Hold up for three seconds and click square. See? That's how you do it. I just play off rhythm instead of playing off what you're looking at. So as I say that, you might be wondering, Agent, how was it possible that people are using it effectively in NBA 2K? Let's talk. Lag switches only work in peer-to-peer servers. Do you guys remember in Modern Warfare 2 when you left? If you were the host, it would say finding new host. It needed a host to run the server so the rest of the game can play. So at all times, it has to have had a host. But on NBA 2K, there's no peer-to-peer. It's dedicated servers, which means 2K runs the servers somewhere in the world. 2K has a studio with a lot of servers set up and that's where everything is run. So if you lag switched with dedicated servers, that means you're lagging too. So how does it benefit you to lag yourself and the other team? So if you guys remember in that video I dropped four or five months ago, I was getting lag switched for days. Now, the guy was pretty clever with it because he only lag switched on our offensive possessions. On his offensive possessions, he's kicking it, he's doing this thing, he's not bothered. But when we're on offense and we're looking to make a shot or do some dribble moves or set a screen, we can't do it if we're lagging 24-7. Now, in most games, the case is if you lag switch too much, you get kicked out. Because if your internet connectivity is too spotty, they'll just assume your internet connection can't hold staying in the game and they'll boot you. Oh, do your thing, bro. Use your rhythm. I'm spamming eggs. I'm literally spamming eggs, bro. I don't know what's going on. Holy camoli. Oh, my God. So my guy, Benny, wondered, he's like, yo, agent, let's run park. And I was like, what? I haven't ran park casually in forever. I was like, cool, let's run park. I DMed a few guys. I got cold and man to hop on with me. Say we need somebody who could dribble like a king. It was about two games into a regular park session and we were being lag switched. Thing about 2K18, unlike 2K17, is when you lag switch on one court, it doesn't just affect the court. It affects the entire park. Bro, these devs, after so much proof, man's are admitting that they boot and that they have lag switches. They don't believe they're lag switching stuff. This shit right here could ruin 19. Like the whole first impressions of it. Especially on the anti-up. Beyond the anti-up because every grinder, every person that's streaming their game, all the geeks, all that shit, niggas is going to fuck with them. Unbelievable. Not that they don't want to address it, that they think that it doesn't exist. It's like flat earthers. It's like, what kind of proof do you need before you believe the earth is round? These guys are willfully ignorant. On top of that, and maybe this is the biggest problem, because, alright, okay, so this is a complex situation. It's not that easy to stop. At least we should be able to ban the people, IP ban the people who are doing it. No, we can't. It doesn't matter how much we report somebody, how much we tell 2K support about somebody, all the people lag switching are still playing the game today. See, that's the main problem for me. And as a YouTuber, I'm going to catch it more than anybody. Because when people play me, they want to win. So what do people do when they want to win? They get desperate. And anytime you get desperate, if you have that switch laying around, you might be inclined to touch it. It got to the point where we were kind of just having fun with it. Oh, damn, I hopped from three feet away. Let's get everybody in the paint. You got it, Cole, you got it. Is that a pump fake? Or are you going up with it? That was a pump fake. How was that not three in the key? What the? Bro, I literally was holding a square the whole time. Oh, I got it. It literally makes playing on the high-stake ante-ups a risk. There's no way to report people, and even when you try and tell somebody, like, do something about this, nothing ever gets done. So people are just going to buy more and more of these things. Oh, okay, take this in. 2K, I have a brilliant idea. This is going to solve the problem for everybody. Get the ISP, take them to court. Get that information from him, all right? Get the IP of these people doing the lag switches, right? And then give that IP to the booters, right? If the booters have the IP, the booters can kick them offline anytime. Unless, of course, they have a dynamic IP. So just keep winning court cases. Keep getting the IP from these individuals. And if they have a static IP, their life is ruined. Even if they have a dynamic IP, we can ruin their life for a short period of time. At least we can do something to these guys. Listen, if you lag switch, you're a loser, dead ass. Like, this is something that happened 10 years ago, and on the PS3 era, you might have been able to... You can use it every once in a while, all right? To counter some of the other idiots using it. If you're still using it in 2018 to win games, what does that say about you? Let's be honest. NBA 2K18 is the least skilled basketball game in the entire franchise, and you have to use lag switches to get ahead. I'm telling you, my guy, it's not a good look. There's people on the 25K high stakes court that'll delay you. So they'll increase that amount of latency to the point where you can't even really play. And on top of that, the lag switcher now. It's like these losers that just sit there and addy up have all these tools now so they could be full on dick heads 24-7. People are lag switching on dedicated servers in 2018 in the least skilled basketball game of all time. Holy. I cannot stand this toxic ass community, bro. Ladies and gentlemen, I put out a tweet frustrated. Beluba, Scott, Ronnie, something has to be done about these lag switchers. The problem's only growing and no one's getting banned. So let's create a lag switch, guys. Come on. All right, first thing we need is an Ethernet cable from this big box of wonders right here. It has to be long enough to reach my PS4, and I don't want to ruin my current Ethernet cable. I definitely need duct tape. Boom. Hey, what's good? We head into my brother's house. Hey, what y'all know about Canadian type? I'm here for one thing. All right, so maybe I got two things. 370Z looking fire. Looking fire, son. Looking straight fire. All right, so check it out. Boom. Ethernet cable coming out the PS4. Lag switch is officially set. Hopefully it works properly. I think I did everything correctly. We'll see, and then I'm going to plug that into my modem. So my setup's going to look kind of wonky and I'm going to be playing off of this one, but I'm going to hop onto a park now and test it out. First, I got to get a couple people to hop on with me. Okay, the setup is almost a million times better than I could have possibly anticipated. My PS4 is down there. Modem is here. And the switch lands right where I could use it. It's literally the most picture-perfect placement. So I'm going to give you all an update. I just ran through this myself. Setup connection, use the LAN cable. Easy. And my internet connection seems to be working. I hit up Swante and I was... Okay, okay, I don't want to show you guys any unnecessary information. Swante is going to hop on with me. I'm going to test it out on the park and hopefully things work out according to plan. I haven't done this in a while. I'm a little rusty. Look at those speeds. Kind of low, huh? But that means that the Ethernet cable works properly and that it accidentally cut the wrong wires or anything. So perfect. Swante's joining, baby. Wait, let it... I'm going to invite Swante. Swante DM me said, don't fry my router. Gotcha, Swann. Look at these guys, bro. Ads on ads on ads on ads on ads on ads. You serious? They have delayed in the beginning of their name. Like they move in like a movement. I have to message one of them. Be like, yo, put me on the list. Let me live. And they're like, okay, you should be... There's a list of people that live. That's unbelievable. Yeah, man. Oh my God. So here's the thing about the lag switch. So there's two different ways to use it. There's a hardware lag switch. That's the one I built. But you could also get like a software lag switch. And the software lag switch is a little different because all it does is clog up your connection. So like it'll send all this fake... It'll basically... It's almost like a DDoS. You're almost DDoSing yourself to the point where your connection doesn't work anymore. Temporarily. But the hardware lag switch is a little better because you can just turn it off and on. So it's not even like you're trying to bottleneck anything. You just completely cut everything off. I played on the 500 quart, like five times. The 500 quart. And you could tell they were doing it because it would only fuck up when we had the ball. But when they had the ball, no lag. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I'm going to try to switch, bro. What's your last one? No! So I realized something. You can't cut off your connection totally. So I guess they use the software and they just slow down their connection. The thing about these software is like I don't trust none of these shits. All of these could be viruses, man. If 2K has dedicated servers, what you're basically doing is just stressing 2K servers to the point where everybody lags like crazy intermittently whenever you want it to, right? So how do you do that? I mean, there's one way you could do a DDoS attack. But DDoS attacks bring down the whole network. And they're expensive. And they're most definitely illegal. So that's not it. And even if you do the software version of a lag switch, you would still be stressing your own connection. So why is it that when they stress their own connection, everybody else has lag? That doesn't add up. It doesn't make any sense. Full power. I should have got one of those switches that were like a dial. That might have made things easier. Like an on-off. Oh f- Swan? Yeah. That's the key, yo. If I get a switch that's a dial, I can slow down the internet connection to whatever level I want. I don't have to completely cut it off. Oh my God, man. Like you're just throttling your own connection with the dial. That would be f-ing perfect. Swallowish me a lot, bro. It's probably going to fail miserably. Look it real quick. Good news, the switch works. Bad news, that is not how they do it. That is not how they do it, man.
