Gameplay delay when using question input on Halo Infinite
Gameplay delay when using question input on Halo Infinite
I made a mistake by updating my driver to the latest version, and I was doing fine with 511.65, but now it feels heavy when aiming in games like Halo Infinite instead of being fun. This is the same issue that happened months ago. I used an old GTX 980 before, then bought a new RTX 3060 and fixed the problem by keeping the same driver version as with the 980. The only change I made was switching to ultra settings just to test if it helped. But everything got worse after that, even when I went back down to the regular 511.65 driver; input lag stayed high. I don't know what's wrong. Halo Infinite is my main game, so having this problem makes it hard for me to play at night after work. Here are some of my computer details: MSI gaming motherboard with a RTX 3060, an Xeon processor running at 2.60hz, and dual-channel memory from 16 GB RAM installed in a chipset called the X79 on Windows 10 Pro. Thank you for your help so far!
Using a good driver uninstaller before installing new ones helps, especially when switching graphics cards because old parts of your card stay behind. Try this if you haven't already and always make sure to use it in Safe Mode as they suggest. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/disp...1-released I also recommend checking Digital Foundry's guide for Halo Infinite graphics settings, but if the lights flicker after applying them, turn off your computer first before starting the game. After doing this, I was able to use better-than-expected settings on my GTX 1080 and never had any problems later when updating drivers. Halo Infinite is a very fun game that made me create a video tutorial showing how to beat it on Legendary without using upgrades or tools other than the standard grappleshot. I wouldn't want anyone else's experience with it to get worse from lag issues.
Hey man, thank you so much for taking your time and replying. I really appreciate it. You put a lot of effort on that post, and helping me was very helpful. The game runs smoothly now, even though it's not as good as before, but it definitely improved. I've already done a clean Windows install, but some stuff from the old ones might still be left behind. With my new SSD, the game gets about 15-20 more FPS. Does switching to a new SSD also help? The OS and drivers are being set up from scratch (zero). I was going to buy a new processor AND motherboard, but since my budget is tight right now, I'm planning to sell something so I can get it working. I think it's more about the software than the hardware because sometimes these problems show up and other times they don't. Thanks again for your time!
You need to write down your full specs, like the power supply and hard drives, especially ones used for putting the computer on and playing games too. Tell us what version of the operating system you have. For the SSD, always check things carefully before thinking you need a new one, especially if you are on a budget. It is good to keep at least 15% free space on any drive, not just how much it says it can hold. Make sure the latest firmware for your hard drive is installed and that TRIM works well. Many drive makers have free software to check health, but with SSDs or NVMe drives, this is often just an estimate based on how many times data was written. Also, you have a certain limit in performance because the CPU isn't strong enough compared to the GPU power. This depends on things like resolution used. 3840 by 2160 is the best spot for normal work at about 2% weak link. Things get much worse when gaming though, especially since the RTX 3060 might not give good frame rates at 4K for many games. So sometimes the GPU shows as the problem depending on resolution used. This makes it important to list all hardware details and what kind of games you play, how you want graphics settings set, and which resolution you use whenever we talk about limits or upgrades. If that sounds hard to follow, this site can help make sense of it. You can put in your CPU or GPU or any plans for upgrading them along with a bunch of games, and it will tell you exactly how much weakness there is and what kind of upgrade would fix it. Sadly Halo Infinite was not included in the game list on that calculator. Xeon E5-2689 and RTX 3060 | Bottleneck check | PC Builds Website pc-builds.com As talked about, I also suggest looking at a good graphics settings guide for any games where you might have trouble. Digital Foundry is my favorite, but there are some decent guides from other people too. Note that I played Halo Infinite with keyboard and mouse, but using the gamepad on PC shows aiming problems that can cause issues related to controller detection. This video seems to show a simple fix for it. I hope this helps solve your problem. 😉
Omg long post mate. I'm going to try every single thing you said. I forgot to mention the SSD i was talking about is used on a laptop, AND it had the exact same problem before that. Before the change, i was using the HDD and there were NO problems, but when i decided to switch my laptop's hard drive to an SSD, the issue started.
I ran the Crystal Disk Test to see if the SSD was broken. No, it wasn't. I've used this exact SSD since then, and load times are super fast. Honestly, I don't know if that's a coincidence. But when i played Master Chief Collection, it had the same problem as before i changed my HDD to an SSD.
Well, since your main problem is probably slow input when aiming and you're using a controller, I think that might be the issue. So check out that second video I posted and look at the fix there. It's likely just what you need to do. That said, when I first set up Halo Infinite, I had some frame rate lag. Once I used Digital Foundry's recommended settings and rebooted it, it played fine. The game is a little picky about how things are applied, so make sure to reboot after changing the settings.
You seem to be playing that game too much. There are fewer people online right now compared to BF2042, and that means something lol. Maybe your computer is slow because of how it's set up or some drivers you're using. It could also be the graphics card software not handling things well.
I have never played TMCC on a solid state drive, but I did play Infinite on my EVO 970 NVMe and it worked fine. How many people online are playing this game doesn't really matter to me because he didn't say if they were playing online or the campaign mode, so that is up to personal choice too. A lot of players just choose the campaign instead, which most think is the best part of the franchise.
