Vsync Input Lag

[マルコ]

You need Vsync to remove stutter in this game, but if you enable it, you get a massive input lag.
For anyone else experiencing this input lag, I've found the solution:
When you launch the game from Steam and it asks you how you want to launch, choose "Launch Titan Quest Anniversary Edition (DirectX 9)" - this way you get to use Vsync with 0 input lag, runs extremely smooth :)

Thanks for the advice!

After some testing, although the workaround above solve the lag when using vsync, it also makes the game more prone to crash...at least on Win10, I was crashing once every 60min more or less, which isn't nice... so I went back to the Anniversary Edition launch option and I'll be putting up with the input lag :(

You can just lock frame limit to 120 in driver control panel and disable v-sync. For me the game is unplayable with v-sync on.

From Nvidia Control Panel?
Max Frame Rate set to 144 (my monitor refresh rate) and vsync off in game, seems to have no effect, the image is still "jittery"...

Nor Nvidia Control Panel or Gforce Experince / App Nvidia are able to interact with the Titan Quest executable, I'm testing this by having 144fps (with Vsync off) inside the game and I'm trying to cap it at 40 using those - noone of them has effect xD
On the other hand, turning off V-Sync from inside the game raises the FPS from 60 to the refresh rate of your monitor, therefore I suspect your override from control panel is doing nothing as well - you got 120 FPS simply because you've turned off Vsync inside the game.
And I also suspect you're experiencing the "jittery image" I'm talking about all along, and you're just not noticing it ^_^'
Its very subtle after all.

Try this, walk back and forth some 2-3 steps in a place with Vsync ON and then OFF (from game options) and keep switching between the two - you should notice the difference

I honestly find that "jittery image" way worse than the input lag, and so VSync has to be kept on
