Here’s the reality of how these three actually sit in the stack. In Windows Audio Engine Shared Mode, every stream gets funneled through the mixer (MMCSS), which resamples everything to your endpoint’s native format and applies effects processing before it reaches the DMA buffer — that’s your multiple buffer layers of latency, typically landing somewhere in the

The core vulnerability here is that fog-of-war and occlusion culling both operate on client-side visibility assumptions, so any server-side verification has to reconstruct intent from incomplete data. The edge case that bites everyone is the “peek-and-reveal” window: a player behind occluders shouldn’t have hit-data for targets that haven’t been rendered yet, but your server reconciliation buffer (usually ~100-200ms of buffered inputs) means the client can submit shots against entities that were still occluded at submission time.
