Mac mini M4 input lag during games
Hello!
I decided to download some games to play on new Mac mini M4, but every time I am playing it has input lag (or I think it is input lag). I tried 2 games so far: Among The Sleep (Epic Games) and Resident Evil 2 (App Store).
Both games have the same problem, if I stay in one place and use only my mouse everything is fine, but as soon as I start to walk I have problems with turning my mouse to the side and even walking in other direction.
Sometimes is no FPS drop during the lag, I just continue to walk in the direction where I was walking and I can't turn with my mouse for 1-2 seconds. It is a constant issue, which happens every time I move in my game.
Resident Evil 2 example:
I press W and move my mouse to the left -> camera does not move -> I stopped pushing W -> character still going forward
Comments to example:
- Sometimes there is FPS drop, so I know that my character won't stop after key release, but sometimes I know only after I released the key.
- While I have "stuck key" I can move my camera, until the next lag spike
- My setup is: Monitor - MG279Q (HDMI port), Keyboard - IQUNIX Magi65 (Bluetooth), Mouse - Logitech 203G (USB-C -> USB-A adapter)
- I tried other keyboard and it does not resolve the issue
- It is not a necessity to use mouse for this lag to happen (I tried just walking in different directions and I still got "stuck key" effect
I am not sure if Resident Evil is ARM64 native, so the problem might be with rosetta. It might be also monitor issue, but I don't think so. Maybe someone knows what is the issue or if somebody has Mac mini m4 can download Resident Evil 2 and test it (it is free partly, I didn't buy anything).
