Input lag/delay
So, is anyone having this problem? As much as I understand input queue and small delay, i.e reacting as I stop pressing the button, I have to say Wukong has some *extremely* bad input lag. Sometimes I have to press START three times before it decides to pop up. When fighting last boss of chapter 5 and pressing RT + X for stun it often dropped my RT and Wukong went for fast attack instead of ability despite the fact that icon was highlighted. Delay was slightly noticeable at the start of the game, but became inreasingly obvious around chapter 4. Now I am at chapter 6 and delay is MASSIVE. Playing with DLSS on 3060 with basically constant 60+ fps.

Do you have frame generation on? Turn it off and it will help with input lag

I'm at chapter 3 i did the optional dragon on the turtle island and i was pressing RT + left dpad to use a gourd medicine and i had to press it 3 times before it would actually use it. Is a bit weird. Same Happen in the prisons pressing RT+ B to take off the transformation and instead it did a dodge and made me fall to death.

I will try with frame gen off too and see if that helps.

Sadly, it won't help as I play without framegen

oof that sucks. I play with frame generation on so i have to test without.
yea the input lag in this game is gamebreaking/absolutely atrocious. Easy bosses are made artificially difficult because the game wont execute a button push. How the hell do you launch a game in this bad of a state? Did they even bother to beta test?

Try using nvidia low latency mode but I'm not sure it will help. I really hope this issue gets fixed because it makes combat way less enjoyable and it's a shame.

btw are u using keyboard or controller when u say input lag?

i use controller only, so idk how keybaord player feel (does multiple key input at the same time delay or block input?)

i think the input lag ppl are talking about are because last movement/animation are not finished? such as 3rd or 4th light attack have slightly more attack frame.
or things like smash strike cant be cancelled. it needs to finish animation before u can dodge/jump/drink?

the left shoulder button is aweful. if you have one of those controllers that you can add trigger button the back of the controller, use that instead, and you'll never have this problem using gourd again. just saying this because I had the same problem when pressing the left dpad button, sometimes it wont register.

As far as the lag/stagger that I have experienced with my RTX 4070. I tweakd some settings in NVIDIA control panel and it has made a difference. There has been some lag but for me it has become better. If you don't know how then simply run a search on you PC for NVIDIA contol panel. Under "Select a Task" towards the top left of the window you should see Manage 3D settings, Open the Manage 3D settings. Then, click Program setting and then click the scroll down box. If you cannot find BMWK in Manage 3D setting then it might have a weird file name but it is there. The first time I set this up the file name for me was a bunch numbers and letters but after a reboot the game showed up with the correct title. Click BMWK's EXE file and a list of options will appear below. Under the list of options I set Power Management mode to Prefer Maximum Performance. I also went into game setting and set the FPS to unlimited while going back into NV contol panel and tweaking my FPS until I got better results, Which for me was 90FPS. I hope this helps somebody.
1. In game: lock framerate at half of your refresh screen and activate v-sync and framegen

2. In your graphic card settings: lock max refresh rate it at -2 frames to your screen native max refresh rate (60hz=58 fps), activate v-sync.

This worked for me

PC:
3080 TI
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz, 3696 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

Using the latest XBOX controller, I experienced massive input lag even in the Main Menu, including many entirely missed button presses. Then in first fight tutorial, same thing. My other games don't do this and don't need troubleshooting. Refunded
