I’m having a weird issue with Forza games. On PC with my Logitech F310 gamepad, I’m getting almost a half second delay between hitting the stick and the car actually turning. It’s bad enough that, instead of modulating the steering, I find myself using the binary method of “smash the steering to 100% and release”, which is literally keyboard level. I bought one of the Forza Motorsports games and ultimately couldn’t play it because of this and the precision required in a sim. I beat everything in FH3 with it except for drifting because drifting is just impossible. When I pan the camera around and turn, there’s a very substantial delay and the wheels turn much slower than I’m moving the stick. Not sure if it’s just a graphics thing, but it looks like there’s something simply preventing the steering from turning faster to match my stick position. I’m noticing this exact pattern in FH4 too (just bought yesterday) and I’m sick of it. Why does this happen in ALL of my Forza games and NONE of my other games (The Crew, TrackMania, The Crew 2, Asphalt 8 etc…)? I’ve already set the dead zone to 0 and it’s made no difference.
Potentially along similar lines, what does anyone thing about a wheel vs gamepad. I feel like a decent wheel with good force feedback would particularly help my Motorsport game - IF the lag is gone. Kinda scared to jump on one though because then I’d be tempted to fall down the scary money pit of upgrading peripherals like monitors, desk (small desk), chair, headset, etc… Is the delay known to be an issue with gamepads and Forza games? Surely not because SuperGT uses a gamepad (don’t know what kind) and he’s got some proper skillz.
