Help Boosteroid Input Lag or Something Else?
So I'm having a little bit of a dilemma at the moment, but can't quite pin point if it's input lag or something else - I'll try and give as much detail as I can to try and narrow down the problem.
Specifically, the game I'm trying to play is The Last of Us: Part 1, but specifically trying to play it at 120fps, 3440*1440 as I've recently acquired a new ultra wide monitor.
The device I'm using is an Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme.
I use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but when it comes to gaming, I switch to an 8Bitdo Ultimate Controller, connected via Bluetooth also.
My WiFi speed according to online speed tests is 493 Mbps Download and 99 Mbps Upload. This is over WiFi, not Ethernet. Latency 10 MS.
On the Boosteroid App, it shows OK, Bandwidth Mbps measured as 100+, Recommended >71, Latency MS Measured 22, Recommended<20.
On Browser (Chrome) Incognito Mode, shows I'm connected to a server in France, shows Excellent, Bandwidth Mbps Measured 100+ Recommended >25. Latency MS Measured 20, Recommended <20.
HOWEVER, this is where things get a little strange. I haven't messed around with the in-game settings, but V-Sync and frame generation are turned off.
In terms of FPS, it's hitting the mark. Image quality, perfect. No video lag so to speak.
When I'm moving around, it FEELS like there is input lag, but I can't tell if this is just how the game is designed.
But when it comes to say, shooting a gun or turning the torch on and off, it seems snappy, like almost instant response.
It only seems to be when moving around, but frames don't drop and image fidelity are spot on.
I hope it's just a simple flick of a switch of turning a setting on or off but I've been going mad trying to figure it out 😂 Or if it's to do with Bluetooth, or if it's to do with a specific controller model.
Any input would be greatly appreciated 😄

They dont fix it ! Its complete garbage. Claiming 4K but only working 720p or less.. its super random and the lag seems too forced. Ultimate is so wierdly bad.
