So, I think I got backwards-deck. I play Rocket League, so input lag is a big deal for me there. However, the issue I have seems opposite of what I see online:
- Using deck controls has noticeable lag
- Using a wired X-Box controller has noticeable lag
- Using a Bluetooth X-Box controller works pretty good
Can anyone think of why I would have such bad lag on the built-in controls?
EDIT So this might be display, not input lag!
- Set Gamescope Disable FPS Limiter On
- Set Gamescope Allow Tearing On
- Set Rocket League Vsync Off
- Set Rocket League FPS to 144
The deck works a lot harder, and fans go crazy, but it’s playable without an external monitor now. I think in limiting to the didplay’s 60hz, the Deck must be doing something else causing display lag.
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!
