Weird lag issue

Post by ardiel »

I'm having an issue with response lag in some games, mainly Mushihimesama on Steam.

It's weird because it is not input lag, and doesn't seem to be display lag. I say that because when I show the controls on screen, it registers inputs with almost no lag. The on screen stick moves exactly when I input something. I was watching a video of me playing and there is clearly a lag of a couple frames between what the control shows and Reco actually moving.

If it was input lag or display lag, wouldn't the control display also lag? I don't understand.

I see, that's fine if it's normal. Just wanted to make sure it isn't my rig.
