That's really bizarre. A lot of rhythm games have a calibration test you can do for both visual and audio lag, the visual lag test would be a great way to get some time measurements of the lag with different controller types.
Edit: Rift of the Necrodancer has a free demo that includes a visual latency test.
Oh perfect, see edited post for a partial solution (so far), I will use this game to test my findings.
If you have any plugins installed, I would start by disabling them. I do not get any noticeable lag off the Steam Deck controls, but to be fair I don’t play anything competitively.
Short of user modifications, I would contact Valve. Their support is excellent.
No plugins, but see edited post for a partial solution (so far). Thanks!
You said some control works well, so it might not be your case, but i will leave the info here for others too.
Make sure your display is set to low latency like a "game mode", otherwise you get massive input lag
Maybe steam input is on when it isn't needed for the game?
Can you turn Steam Input off on the Deck? I did find a partial solution (see edited post)
I dunno. I've never had any issues with input lag so
Rocket league is unplayable on deck/switch. If you're going to play only do it on pc with at least a 144hz monitor
So, this got me thinking. I turned off thr FPS limiter and allowed Tearing in Gamescope. Turned off Vsync and set FPS limiter to 144 in Rocket League. Lo and behold, playable. I think this lay have more to do with the display than the controls.
God forbid people are having fun with games on their platform of choice
No I mean like it's literally unplayable, you're at an immense disadvantage and it sucks.
I bet you use a plain coloured Octane and can't fathom people use other cars, right?
I don't think you understand, maybe Google it for more information? I don't know how else to help you. You somehow think I'm against people having fun or choices, all I'm saying is if you play on switch/deck you're handicapping yourself. If you don't mind playing at a big disadvantage with no gain then go for it buddy lmao
You know they dropped all Linux support for the game when Take 2 took over, right?
