How to Improve Input Delay and Latency in Rocket League* Using Intel® Graphics

Environment

Windows 11* Family, Windows® 10 family

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Summary

Improve latencies and input delays while playing Rocket League*.

Description
  • 10 milliseconds delay while controlling a gaming character using the keyboard or mouse.
  • Optimization has already been applied, but the issue will re-appear after few days.
Resolution

Start by Toggling V-Sync off
V-Sync is a technology that prevents screen tearing. It’s also a common culprit when it comes to identifying sources of input lag.

If your game engine sends display frames to your monitor too quickly, you may see horizontal bands cutting through the image periodically. V-Sync fixes this by forcing the engine to synchronize with the monitor’s refresh rate.

Optimize Your FPS Settings
Changing the number of frames per second your PC sends to its display can go a long way towards reducing input lag. There are two main approaches that you can try.

  • Limit the frame rate. First, try limiting the frame rate to just under your display’s refresh rate.
  • Attempt a higher frame rate. Second, try pushing the game to a much higher frame rate—double the monitor’s refresh rate or more. This should lead to a small but noticeable improvement in input lag.
