Steering lag

Ever since I've started using gaming wheels with this game (so far I've used a G25, a fanatec wheel, and a G27), I've noticed a slight steering lag. Between moving the wheel and the game reacting, there's about a tenth of a second delay. This makes countersteering after a bad corner impossible, and makes driving feel slow and unresponsive in most cars.

Is this the case for everyone, or is there a way to fix it?

 

Just for my own curiosity:
Have you tried an Xbox controller? If so, does it lag too?
Do you have the latest drivers for the wheels installed?
Do the wheels work fine in other games?

 

The g27 (only one i have atm) works perfectly in other games, and the drivers are up to date.

I haven't tried an xbox controller because I don't own one.

 

Does it lag with the keyboard?
Something that I have seen on the web is that if you plug it into usb ports on the front of your case or though a hub there may be lag. Try plugging it in to the motherboard usb ports. Also try adjusting steering deadzone controls.

 

Make sure the filtering on the "steer" control setting is set to direct

 

How do I do this?

 

On the main menu of BeamNG, go to the controls, Force feed back tab, click the "+" beside Steering, and then there is the filter option with a drop-down menu.

 

I get around 60 fps most of the time, so that is not an issue. Also, selectinng "direct" on the filter options didn't work. Is it possible that the lag is "built in" the game?

 

No... works fine on my G27... i do not understand your issue.

 

It seems the delay is somewhat smaller, I'd estimate about 1 or 2/10ths of a second.

Here is the file. I won't try any of these solutions today as I am very tired. Will try them tomorrow

 

is there a delay between you moving the steering wheel and the ingame-wheel turning,
or only a delay between turning and the car reacting?

because i have experienced some kind of delay in the steering as well, but the virtual wheel reacts immediately.
seems like it takes the tires a fraction of a second to point in the direction they are supposed to.
this tends to cause me to steer harder than i have to because my initial steering input doesnt seem to be enough,
but then the car suddenly turns in and i have to reduce the lock to prevent running into a tree ...
kind of hard to describe, but makes the driving feel really weird.

using a G25 by the way, have only had this happen in beamng while other sims are fine (like assetto corsa for example)

 

The in game steering takes about a tenth of a second to react. After that the car will turn like a real one. If you want to test this with your own wheel, get low and look at the wheel, and line up the wheel center and "spokes" with the game wheel on the screen. Then turn your wheel fast to both sides. You'll notice the wheel on the screen will be a bit delayed.

Also, if you want to compare the feel of it, play LFS. No steering lag at all, that's where I see most of the difference.


Also, I don't have an SLI option in my Nvidia panel, so I assume I just don't have it. (750 ti). Limiting FPS or disabling postFX didn't help. I think this is actually a problem with the game's code. I haven't tried plugging the wheel into the back of my PC yet.

 

UPDATE: plugging it into the back of the PC also does not fix the issue. I'm almost certain at this point it's in the game code.

 

Bump, anyone else experiencing this problem?

 

You'd know if you had SLI. SLI would require you to add a second identical GPU.

 

Pretty certain at this point it's probably a problem in the game code.

 

I'll hook up a G27 again at some point. It will be weeks or months from now. I didn't notice anything unexpected the last time, but we'll see.

There is certainly no stick-to-steering-wheel delay in the Xbox 360 controller I have hooked up currently. Since you are currently alone in seeing this problem, I suggest that you borrow a 360 controller and test with it as suggested by MovingCNTower above.
