Is anyone else experiencing a lot of input lag? (resolved)

Game Discussion
1

I’ve been noticing that recently, every time I join I experience about 2-3 seconds of input lag, making the game near unplayable. It runs just fine and my internet is working well, as evidenced by my being able to play other games without any problems, so I’m not quite sure what’s causing this.
Something interesting that I should note is that WASD and space inputs are working as normal, but casting spells, toggling sprint, charging magic, anything that involves an action without a standard Roblox control scheme input is delayed by a significant amount.

[RESOLVED]
apparently the performance stats option was somewhat faulty, it is apparently due to my ping after all. Now I just need to find out what’s causing the ping.

If it’s delay it might as well be your ping because in my experience when I’m in a server in Asia I can barely spam magic jumps to get to high places because of the major ping difference and I have to resort to climbing instead.

Same goes with PvP making it really bothersome with pressing a hotkey only for it to load 2 seconds after or not load at all. I think you’re just in a bad region or there’s something going on with your ping since I never had any of the problems listed without it having to do with ping.

Ping is averaging between 60-100 ms for me, so I don’t think it’s that.

That’s usually due to Roblox, Vetex can’t fix that.

Would you mind explaining to me how this is so? What specifically in Roblox causes this kind of phenomenon to happen?

Did you check this something like a speedtest, or via the Roblox network menu?
If you have yet to check within Roblox, go in-game and press Shift + F3, and your ping will be displayed around the 5th line.

Oh I had this problem too, I thought it was just my keyboard though.

I’m not really sure but it definitely does affect on the input lag since the game is big.
Ping can be a problem for it also.

Well, the F3 menu is showing me a much higher ping than what is displayed than the performance stats found in Roblox’s settings. I guess that’s the problem, although I find it strange that the application would disagree with itself.

If it’s not ping I don’t know what the problem could be, maybe ask a moderator on the discord they tend to be helpful. Most of the time anyway.

Most of the time if your in a big player server it might affect the ping and input so that’s a thing to mention but overall you can’t really fix it.

In my experience the menu shown with Shift + F3 has proven to be more accurate under more extreme loads/heavier network conditions but i’m not sure if that’s consistent behavior
Regardless you could probably troubleshoot further - does similar behavior happen in other Roblox games? E.g. Opening a door with E, or anything else outside of standard Roblox controls.
