Need for Speed: SHIFT (PC) - XBox 360 Pad Input Lag

Showing the Input Lag in NFS Shift (with Patch 1.1) with the XBox 360 Pad on the PC. You can clearly see that there is a lag of about half a second between physically steering and the animation in the game.

I forgot to mention that this is quite easily solvable, if I remeber correctly. I currently can't check it, but you need to navigate to the subfolder with the controller profiles in the Shift folder. Open the corresponding profile you use ingame with notepad or something and change the value of "dampening" from "1" to "0". That solved the issue I think.

I have the same damn thing with my keyboard. The game is unplayable.

I see its just the same as with prostreet.

Ea is making very sure all serious sim-racers stick to live for speed hehe

@brenosilver sounds like you have vsync enabled? Probably your refresh rate is 75 and your fps is locked to half of that?

Same here bro...besides the input lag I also have lag in the game but my fps doesnt go below 37, Literally the game starts to get lag but my fps is at 37!! i dont understand, that should not be happening with my machine.

@skillzofdoom I wouldn't judge the game just on this fact... I have input lag as well, maybe not as bad as yours but pretty close to the one in the vid, I still find the game quite enjoyable, great sound, graphics and physics are pretty good... Give EA some time to patch this. Look at it this way, you cant get worse than Undercover.
