There’s a game I enjoy playing called Salt and Sanctuary (reocmmend it for everyone to try). However, since about a year ago, the game developed an input lag/would not recognize inputs.
You have to hit attack in quick succession in the game, and that move is often not registered in the game.
I am using the same controller (wired xbox360) with other games also on steam, and there it seems to work just fine.
I’ve only experienced this issue in Manjaro, and again since the past year or so. In all other distros that I’ve tried this (ubuntu derivatives and Solus), there is no input lag issue.
Does anyone know how I can diagnose, and more importantly, how I can fix this issue?
