Undisputed Lag Spike Proof

Going back a while ago i was discredited on grounds of not having clear proof of lag spike in test drive or rivals, so i did what any person with a great idea would do.

I used my Cell phone to record externaly exactly what i see on screen, while the quality isnt great you do see CLEARLY exactly what i have been harping on about (once You SPOT) where its at.
So please T10 will you finally fix it (its a joke) i personaly cant compete trying to battle that, and others not seeming to have this issue.

Please go towards the end of the youtube video @ about 2 minutes 13 seconds, you will possibly need to watch it a few times to catch it but once you spot it its unmistakable.

You Tube Video

Also to point out JUST incase you cant see it even after watching it a few times myself i lose where it was, until i start watching other sections of the track out the window as opposed to the left pillar of the car. But if you get to the time given and watch its at the same time the points make an exit across the screen from center to top rightas the wheel turns to the right you will see the hands pause and a quick jolt.

AND NO i didnt catch AIR, what i cant understand is why its not as clear on video from an external source watching the screen as i am, i see what the camera see’s when recording it.
yes i saw it crystal clear it was a huge spike the camera shows it as a micro second lag spike that looks harmless enough, only it wasnt and thats why i have to get the proof to proove i am not NUTS.

Also is it just me or is that hand brake a bit dodgy, sometimes it works sometime it dont ?

while i have no idea what you’re trying to say, i can answer your handbrake question:
in a RWD car, the handbrake is often not strong enough to counter the engine. the only way to consistently make the handbrake work is to declutch when you apply the handbrake. it’s what i’ve been doing since FM3.

Maybe it’s my aging eye sight but I just can’t seem to see the problem in the video. It is happening pretty fast. If the replay was slowed down with exact time it happens it might help. I even tried stopping the video several times but if you ask me, this video looks completely normal.

I concur, I cant see any lag myself. I am beginning to wonder if the op is on about lag from when he makes an input on the controller to what is shown on his screen.

i experienced this before, where there was a delay on my screen. However i do think i noticed a couple of actual lag spikes in the OPs video. Very small and quick, but if you look close I think you can see them.

I had to watch the video about five times to actually see what you were talking about. I think calling it a lag spike is a mislabeling of it. It is more like a hesitation and is probably due to the system dealing with some other process or loading scenery/graphics further down-track. I have seen this a few times, but there is really nothing we can do.

I can’t decide whether it is a good thing that the developers have already pushed the games to the point where they are loading up the system or bad that there is not much more room for pushing the envelope further.

In the last second I can see the left hand jerk clockwise about one hand’s width. Is that it?

The slight hesitation I saw was at 2:08-2:09.

One thought I just had you may be able to verify or disprove is that it occurred just as you passed the 7,000 mark.

Would this be the system automatically saving the video for the over 7,000 drift?

Just a thought.

If that would be the case, disabling GameDVR should do the trick.

I would have said that could have been the reason because its always at a perfect drift so its always over 5000 points, but it cant be related as Game DVR is already turned off.

With that said i am sorry its not as clear for people i never thought to slow it down, this was done with a cell phone as upload doesnt record the lag.

There were some minute laggy glitchy moments, but they are not what concern me, the lag spike i encountered was pretty huge.

Seriously ruined me points wise in my persuit of a rivals win on prauge reverse S Class Subaru BRZ, i had 57, 020 points for where i stand on the boards at moment now i cant even get past 45 thousand.

And it should be on or about the 2 minutes 14 to 16 marker…

Watch the hands more so its the best possible capture i can give tbh i cant believe it isnt much clearer, the cam corder on phone saw what i did but it hasnt captured it anywhere near as well as it should have done.

Please report this via email to forzafb@microsoft.com. Yes, you’ll get back an auto-reply (and you’ll know it got to the right place), and you may or may not get an individual reply. But that is the absolute best way to get the devs to look at it.

It is next to impossible to see it on the video you posted - based on the responses here, my own viewing of it, and the fact that even you have to watch, watch, watch to find it again. Add in the fact that you state others don’t seem to have the issue… Well, it’s going to be pretty tough for T10 to fix this “joke.”

That being said - from what you’re describing - I do think it’s very possible that you’re seeing slight screen freezes related to the “auto-save” feature… but no amount of discussing or complaining about it here is going to have any effect on that. Contact T10 directly via email.

You’re kidding, you are back again with a different gripe?

Last time you jumped and claimed it was lag when you landed this time…well.

These are called railroad tracks, they are quite bumpy. I’ve never met a laggy rumble strip. This is before the mark you gave.

Now this is called a curb, not a lag spike. You get quite close here and either hit this, the wall, or both.

Tracks are full of bumps, they are everywhere. You’ve managed to find a jump, train track, curb, and a wall in your lag spiking adventures. Please stop.

For starters none of which are where i claimed since 2 minute odd is at the end of the video, so i dont know what your harpin on about liek im dilusional, i suppose next you will be telling me that my dilusions are so bad tha tmy call to microsft was pointless. i am also aware of the bumps in the road but i think i know the difference, your attitude as a forum mod stinks yes your intitled to your opinions but DO NOT come here belittling me that is not what your here for so you dont drift, or you dont have these issue’s does not mean that no one else here does either.

no but your what 3 threads now on the subject, all of which no one else seams to mention they have the same issue or can even see what you are talking about kinda makes me think no one else does.

ive watched the vid about 10 times now and all i see is a slight video stutter at the very end which i would not call lag. and does not seem to effect your drifting in anyway.

Actually, it is where you claimed. Maybe slightly before…makes no difference the curb and railroad tracks go past where you said. Drifting has nothing to do with what you’ve claimed.
