ZeroLag v0.16.0 — ZeroLag finds your game for you.

No more pointing the app at your game by hand. ZeroLag now scans your PC, finds CS2 where it's actually installed, and sets itself up — so you can get straight to a lower ping.

What's new

• Automatic game detection on first run. The first time you open ZeroLag, a new screen scans your computer and shows the games it found. CS2 is picked up automatically, wherever Steam put it — no file paths, no guessing.
• A scan button whenever you need it. Installed CS2 after setup, or moved it to another drive? Hit scan and ZeroLag re-checks and updates its list on the spot.
• More reliable CS2 detection. We rebuilt how ZeroLag locates CS2 so it finds the game at its real Steam location, even in the deeper folders and alternate Steam libraries where earlier versions came up empty.
• A clearer heads-up when a game isn't found. If ZeroLag can't locate your game, the message now reads properly in Turkish and tells you what to do next instead of leaving you stuck.

Why this matters

Getting started should take seconds, not a scavenger hunt through Steam folders. By finding CS2 for you — reliably, in the odd places it sometimes hides — ZeroLag removes the one setup step most likely to trip people up, so the app just works the moment you open it. It also lays the groundwork for the other games we plan to support down the road.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul is still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

If ZeroLag can't find your CS2 install, or a scan turns up empty when the game is clearly there, send it our way — that's exactly the case this update was built to catch.

ZeroLag v0.15.1 — Your tunnel stays put.

A small but real fix: refreshing the app no longer drops your connection.

What's new

• Refreshing the app keeps you connected. Before, reloading ZeroLag's screen could quietly tear down a live tunnel — you'd think you were still protected when you weren't. Now the connection stays up through a refresh, and the "connected for" timer keeps counting instead of resetting to zero.

Why this matters

When you're in a match, the last thing you want is a tunnel that silently drops out from under you. This makes your connection stick — what the app shows is what's actually happening, so you can trust the green light and focus on the game.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul is still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

If your connection ever drops when you didn't expect it, or the timer looks wrong after a refresh, let us know.

ZeroLag v0.15.0 — Start your free trial in one click.

New to ZeroLag? The first time you open the app, a fresh welcome screen gets you straight to a free trial — one click, no code to type in, no hoops.

What's new

• A first-run activation screen. Open ZeroLag for the first time and you're greeted with a clean screen that starts your free trial on the spot. Tap once and you're in — ready to connect and see your ping drop.
• Instant, no fuss. The moment your trial activates, the app updates to show it right away — no restart, no waiting, no wondering whether it worked.
• A confirmation that sticks around. After activating, the confirmation stays put until you tap Continue, so you always get a clear "you're all set" before moving on.

Why this matters

The best first impression is a fast one. Instead of asking a new player to hunt for a code or read setup steps, ZeroLag now hands you a free trial the second you open it — so you spend your first minute lowering your ping, not fighting the app to get started.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul is still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

If the activation screen ever hangs, dismisses too early, or doesn't reflect your trial right away, tell us — that first-run moment is one we want to get exactly right.

Thanks for being on ZeroLag. GLHF.

ZeroLag v0.14.2 — See your connection clearly.

A round of clarity fixes: it's now obvious at a glance whether you're connected, and which server is giving you which ping.

What's new

• You'll know when you're off. On the home screen, an idle tunnel now says a plain "Not connected" instead of a vague "idle" — so on first launch there's no guessing whether your game traffic is actually being routed.
• Tell your servers apart. In both the Diag tab and the server test, each node is now labelled by its name (like istanbul-1, istanbul-2) next to its city. When two servers sit in the same city, you can finally see exactly which one gave you which ping instead of a row of identical "Istanbul" entries.
• Familiar network terms. Jitter and loss now keep their usual English names in the Turkish app, matching what you already see in every other tool.

Why this matters

The numbers only help if you can trust what they're telling you. Knowing at a glance that you're connected — and which server a result belongs to — means less second-guessing and faster decisions about where to play from.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul is still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

If a server's name and city ever look mismatched, or the connection status doesn't match what you expect, let us know — that's exactly what these changes were meant to clear up.

Thanks for being on ZeroLag. GLHF.

ZeroLag v0.14.0 — See the road your ping takes.

Ever wondered where your connection actually slows down on the way to the server? The new Diag tab shows you — hop by hop, no command line, no extra tools.

What's new

• A new Diag tab. Pick your server and run a network check right inside ZeroLag. It measures the exact route your traffic takes from your PC to our server, one hop at a time.
• Two checks, two speeds. Traceroute gives you a quick map of the route in a few seconds. MTR goes deeper: it measures every hop for a full minute — a countdown ring shows how much time is left — and tells you how much delay and packet loss each hop adds.
• Results you can copy. When a check finishes, the result appears as clean, lined-up text with a copy button. Paste it straight into Discord or a support message when you want help — or proof.

A note on data

When a check completes, the result is also sent to us. That's the point: when you tell us "my ping is bad tonight," we can look at your actual route and respond with facts rather than guesses. Nothing is sent for checks you cancel.

Why this matters

"My ping is high" always has a where — a congested hop at your provider, a bad turn on the way out of the country. Until now, finding it meant fiddling with command-line tools. Now it's two taps in the app, and both you and we can see exactly where the slowdown lives.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul are still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

If a check comes back empty or the route looks wrong for your provider, send it over — it's exactly the kind of result this feature was built to catch.

Thanks for being on ZeroLag. GLHF.

ZeroLag v0.13.0 — Show off your ping.

Run a match test, get a result worth bragging about — now you can share it in a click. ZeroLag turns your before/after ping into a clean, themed image ready to drop into Discord, a tweet, or a screenshot folder.

What's new

• Share button on every test result. Once a match test finishes, a share button sits right on the result. Tap it and a small menu opens with four ways to share — no extra steps, no leaving the app.
• A polished result card. ZeroLag renders your result into a good-looking image that matches your current theme: direct ISP ping, tunnel ping, and how much faster the tunnel made you, all laid out cleanly.
• Four ways to send it. Copy the image straight to your clipboard, copy a ready-to-paste text summary, save the image to a file, or grab an embed tag — whichever fits where you're posting.
• Save anywhere you like. Saving the image opens a normal file dialog, so it lands exactly where you want it.

Why this matters

A faster ping is more fun when you can prove it. Sharing a result used to mean cropping a screenshot by hand; now it's one tap to a clean image that looks like it belongs to the app — and it quietly shows other Turkish players what ZeroLag does.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul is still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

If the share card ever looks off in your theme, or a copy/save option doesn't behave on your setup, tell us.

ZeroLag v0.12.1 — Updates that actually land.

A small but important fix: auto-updates now point at the right place, so the app can keep itself current again.

What's new

• Auto-update is back on track. ZeroLag now tells the update server exactly which build you're on, so it can hand back the correct installer. Before, the check could quietly come up empty and leave you stuck on an older version without realizing it.

Why this matters

The whole promise of auto-update is that you don't have to think about it — you open the app and you're on the latest. This restores that, so future fixes and features reach you without a manual download.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul is still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

If the app ever tells you you're up to date when you're sure there's a newer version out, let us know.

Thanks for being on ZeroLag. GLHF.

ZeroLag v0.12.0 — Steadier and self-aware.

This one's mostly under the hood. ZeroLag can now tell when something goes wrong — a crash, a tunnel that drops, a hiccup during a match — so we can spot problems and fix them faster, often before you'd ever think to report them.

What's new

• Crash reporting that just works. If the app ever falls over, it quietly sends us what happened so we can chase down the cause. No forms to fill in, no logs to dig up and email.
• A clearer picture of connection health. ZeroLag keeps a light pulse on how tunnels are performing so we can catch routing trouble early and keep your ping where it should be.
• Cleaner shutdowns. When you quit from the tray, the app now wraps up properly instead of just vanishing — tidier exits, fewer odd states the next time you open it.

A note on your privacy

This is about reliability, not snooping. The information is there to help us keep ZeroLag stable and fast — not to track you personally. Your game traffic, logins, and configs stay yours.

Why this matters

The less time we spend guessing what went wrong, the more time we spend making the connection better. Quietly knowing when something breaks is how a small team keeps a fast app feeling solid.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul is still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

Notice the app behaving oddly or dropping out? A quick note from you still helps — it's the fastest way for us to connect the dots.

Thanks for being on ZeroLag. GLHF.

ZeroLag v0.11.0 — A sharper match test.

A focused follow-up to the match test that makes it quicker to use and more honest about when the tunnel actually helps.

What's new

• Run another test without leaving. The connect-string box now stays right where it is after results come up. Paste a new match and test again in one step — no jumping back and forth between tabs.
• Recommendations you can trust. ZeroLag now only badges a server as "recommended" when it genuinely beats your direct ISP ping. If your normal connection is already the fastest route for that match, it says so plainly instead of nudging you onto a tunnel that wouldn't help.
• A tidier layout. The input and result cards got slimmed down so everything fits comfortably on screen, even with the test box kept in view.

Why this matters

The whole point of the match test is to give you a straight answer: tunnel or no tunnel for this match. This release makes that answer faster to get and more trustworthy when you get it.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul is still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

If a recommendation doesn't match what you actually feel in-game, let us know — that's exactly the kind of thing we want to tune.

ZeroLag v0.10.0 — Now in Turkish.

ZeroLag was built for Turkish gamers, so it's about time it spoke Turkish. The whole app — every screen, every button, every status message — is now fully translated. English is still there too, and switching between them is a single tap.

What's new

• Full Turkish, end to end. Dashboard, settings, the match test, your account page — all of it now reads naturally in Turkish. No half-translated menus, no leftover English in the corners.
• Pick your language right away. The very first time you open ZeroLag, it asks which language you'd like. Choose once and you're set.
• Switch any time. Changed your mind? There's a language selector in Settings, and one on the login screen too. Flip between Turkish and English instantly — no restart, no reinstall.
• It remembers. Your choice sticks across restarts, so you set it once and forget it.

Why this matters

A faster connection shouldn't come with a language barrier. Reading everything in your own language makes the app quicker to understand and easier to trust — especially when you're checking why your ping looks the way it does.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul is still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

If any wording feels off, sounds awkward, or a screen still shows the wrong language — tell us. We'd rather fix it than leave it.

ZeroLag v0.9.0 — Test every server at once.

The test tab got a real upgrade. Paste a connect string, and you now see how every server in your plan would handle that match — not just the one you happen to have selected. Pick the fastest. Done.

What's new

• Every server, side by side. The result page now shows your direct (ISP) ping at the top, then a sorted list of server cards underneath — best end-to-end first. Each card shows the total estimated ping, how much it saves vs direct, and the breakdown (you → server + server → game). The recommended option gets a small badge.
• One click to activate. Each card has its own Activate button. Hit it on any server and ZeroLag connects the tunnel through that one — without touching your default. Disconnect later and the dashboard's Connect button goes back to your normal server, no fiddling.
• Faster results. The old test was sequential — measure direct, install a route, measure through the tunnel, tear it down. The new flow is pure measurement: direct ping and server fanout run in parallel, and no tunnel state changes during the test. You see your direct number in under a second, and the server list lands a few seconds later.

Why this matters

Before, the test could only tell you "your selected server is faster/slower than direct." If a different server in your plan would have been even better, you'd never know without manually switching and retesting. Now the comparison is built in.

What's next

More server locations beyond Istanbul are still the big one we're working toward.

Feedback

If a server keeps landing as unreachable when it shouldn't, or the recommended pick doesn't feel right, tell us.

ZeroLag v0.8.1 — Small fixes.

A quick follow-up to v0.8.0 cleaning up two things that didn't quite behave right.

What's fixed

• Routed Apps badges now tell the truth. Previously the badge next to a game (e.g. CS2) turned green the moment the game was running — even if the tunnel was off. Now green means what it should: the tunnel is active and the app is running. Hover over the badge to see what's going on if it isn't green.
• Update errors actually say what went wrong. If a "Check for updates" attempt fails, you'll now see the real error instead of a generic message. Helps us diagnose problems much faster when you report them.

Feedback

Spotted something else off? Let us know.

Thanks for being on ZeroLag. GLHF.

ZeroLag v0.8.0 — More games. Smarter detection.

This release opens the door for more than just CS2. The app list is no longer locked to a single game, detection works for whatever you've added, and the whole UI got a quiet cleanup along the way.

What you'll notice

• A growing game list. Open the Apps page and you'll see new entries — some routable today, others marked Coming soon. From now on, when we add support for a new game, it shows up automatically. No update, no waiting.
• Detection that follows your apps, not CS2. If you've added another game and it's enabled, ZeroLag now notices when that game opens — not just CS2. The status bar updates accordingly: "Valorant detected", "CS2 +1 detected", or "No apps detected" when nothing's running.
• A cleaner look. We trimmed the theme list down to the three that actually felt finished: Clean Dark (the new default), Cyberpunk, and HUD. If you were on one of the old themes, ZeroLag will quietly switch you to Clean Dark — try the others from Settings if it's not your style.

A note on "coming soon" games

You'll spot a handful of games listed but not yet routable. They're there on purpose — we're measuring routes to those servers from Turkish ISPs, and we'll flip them on one by one as they pass our latency tests. If there's a specific title you want prioritized, let us know.

What's next

The big one is still the more server locations as we expand beyond Istanbul.

Feedback

If detection misses a game you've added, or the new default theme isn't to your taste, or anything else feels off — tell us.

Thanks for being on ZeroLag. GLHF.

ZeroLag v0.7.2 — Tighter and faster.

A small one. If you've been on ZeroLag since launch, this update very likely just landed in the background while you were doing something else — no download, no setup wizard, no popup interrupting your match. That's how every update should feel, and from this version on, that's how every update will.

What you'll notice

• A snappier app. ZeroLag now opens faster and feels a touch lighter. We spent the cycle quietly cleaning up the parts that don't earn their keep, and the result is an app that just gets out of your way sooner.
• A smaller download. The installer is meaningfully slimmer than the last one. Less bandwidth, faster install, fewer moving parts.
• Updates that just happen. This is the first ZeroLag update you didn't have to do anything to receive. From here on, you stay on the latest version automatically.

What's next

We're still working on more server locations as we test routes from different Turkish ISPs.

Feedback

If anything feels off after the update — connect times, the ping graph, an error you weren't expecting — tell us. Small releases are exactly the kind that sneak in surprises.

Thanks for sticking with ZeroLag. GLHF.

ZeroLag v0.6.0 — Hello, world.

This is the first public release of ZeroLag — a desktop app built for competitive players who are tired of watching their ping spike for no good reason.

What is ZeroLag?

If you play Counter-Strike 2 from Turkey, you've probably noticed it: your home internet feels fast on every site you visit, but the second you load into Faceit, your ping is 20–25ms higher than it should be. Not because your connection is bad — because your ISP routes game traffic through the long way around.

ZeroLag fixes that. It quietly reroutes only your CS2 traffic through an optimized path (Istanbul → Frankfurt), while everything else — your browser, Discord, Steam downloads — keeps using your normal connection. No system-wide VPN slowdown. No weird side effects. Just a shorter route to the server.

What's in the box

The core experience

• One-click connect. Open the app, hit the power button, you're routed. That's it.
• Connection timer. Know exactly how long you've been routed.

The little things

• Three themes — Cyberpunk (default), Clean Dark, and HUD — so the app fits your setup.
• System tray support. Close the window, the app keeps running. Right-click the tray icon for quick controls.
• Start with Windows. Set it once, forget it.
• Native notifications when the tunnel comes up or drops.

Under the hood

• Sign in once, stay signed in. Browser-based login means no fiddling with credentials in the app itself.
• Server selection. Pick your route automatically (recommended) or manually if you want to experiment.
• Ping test page. Stress-test any IP for up to a minute and see how the tunnel compares.

What's next

ZeroLag is being actively developed. Some of what's on the horizon:

• More server locations as we measure routes from different Turkish ISPs.
• Auto-update. update once and you'll get future releases automatically.

Feedback

This is the first release out the door, which means it's also the version most likely to have rough edges. If something feels off, if your ping doesn't improve, or if the app misbehaves — please tell us. The fastest way to make ZeroLag better is to hear from the people actually using it.

Thanks for trying ZeroLag. GLHF.
