Steering lag

Here's a list of games i've tried:
Assetto Corsa
LFS
BeamNG.drive
Euro Truck Simulator 2
DIRT 2
RaceRoom
Project CARS

All of them had the same ammount of lag except for Assetto Corsa, which had a very small ammount of lag, almost unnoticeable.
LFS, Euro Truck Sim 2 and DIRT2 had no lag whatsoever (in other words, so little lag it's not important). However, I only tried DIRT 2 on my G25 so that may have changed.

 

BUMP

Torsion, if the problem is that the games are simply too slow, wouldn't BeamNG's steering lag for everyone else? It seems that nobody else apart from me can recognize this latency.

 

I'll try and make 2 points:

1. Based on reading post #12 in this thread I think stenyak was under the impression that lag was something like 40-60ms. That's a developer who thought that lag was less than half of the measured result. I've already mentioned that I can't easily tell the difference. I think people (even devs) just can't easily tell the difference.
2. If the lag you've noticed is present in many games then that is the status quo. By definition gamers are used to the status quo. They certainly won't notice it in the latest physics-driving game where many users already have performance issues due to low/mid-end hardware. Don't forget that as far as we know most users are using the keyboard, followed by a second group using analog gamepads... followed by a small fraction using wheels. The keyboards and gamepads are both filtered, lag is the least of those users' problems. [As another example... Nobody complains about that horrible shadow-detail circle that surrounds the camera in every game either. It breaks my immersion every few minutes in nearly every game! I don't mention it because it's the status quo. This terribly unattractive game behavior has probably been around for a decade now.]

You must remember that it's not possible to have zero lag. By definition with computer games as they are currently rendered we have some lag - both the input and output systems in modern computers create a delay. It's basically a sure thing that there will be some small delay in between too. If my users can't tell the difference between 30ms and 130ms, but they can tell the difference between pixel-shaded candy paint and regular gloss... guess what I'm going to focus on?

I'd love for someone to prove me wrong, but the fact that your problem doesn't affect all of your games coupled with the fact that you get similar latency to stenyak pretty much seals the deal here.

 

I think i have this problem, But i dont really notice it. The steering wheel in cockpit mode is a little slow with my wheel, But i dont notice.

 

Also on other games i play, It doesnt lag, But when it does, Its because the game its self is lagging (MSI GT740, Not GTX)

 

Thanks for the response, it's nice to see that the devs listen to the community

 

Your work does not go unnoticed! I was happy to see that in the patch notes.

 

Nice bump......

 

It's still relevant, so it doesn't really matter.

 

I tried a f*ck old version of BeamNG I found in my PC files. The steering lag is pretty much negligible. I was pretty surprised, driving was fun even with no FFB and the horrible cars of the time.

 

Who is saying im not? Maybe i just made this account on here, as i had a question when i made it?

 

Getting pretty damn tired of seeing you post this in so many front page topics :|

 

First one is slow mo:


And the second one in normal speed, sorry for vertical video:
