Doom Eternal finally is here, BUT has INPUT LAG

I've been waiting for this day for a long time, finally Doom Eternal comes out. And unfortunately I have to say with great disappointment that it has input lag, in chromecast it is playable but it is appreciated, with keyboard and mouse it is horrible. I will be forced to request a refund, it is something that I did not want to say but it is so.

 

Is there any hope that google (or Bethesda) will fix it?

I got the answer I was looking for on reddit. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

I fully approve of the bans including my own, I'll just go ahead with something else

@Whito Why not try it if you think you might like it. If it doesn’t perform how you like then you can return for full refund within the two hour limit...!

I haven’t tried it with mouse and keyboard but with stadia controller is playable like doom 2016 on my ps4

I had lag issues on my tv before enabling the game mode, now runs well with chromecast on my tv too

@Matt1 I don't like to return products. I'll buy it anyway.

I will wait until April 1 there is a very high risk that Stadia closes the service.

But I'd like to get Voldemort fired for being a coward.

Oh deal done in 24 hours I will let you know.

Wow his wife has more marketing vision than Google, cheers for her.

If it doesn't work well I'll ask for Voldemort's head again.

Buy it, it works correctly, very good port, good graphics, high FPS without stuttering.

These are the games that I don't have

AoT, Darksiders, Wolfenstein, FM 2020, Just Dance, kine, serious sam, trials rising, monster energy, spitlings, heist, dig.

I have all the others.

I do not recommend

  • Borderlands 3 - stuttering and slow loading of textures
  • Rage 2 - Fps drops
  • Ghost Recon - Low FPS drops FPS low graphics (Stadia's worst port)
  • Metro Exodus - stutter (it's free so you won't spend money, but it works poorly)

I've had zero lag at all. It's brilliant, I can't stay off it.

@Whito I used to have stutter in metro Exodus on chrome but since I disabled "location service" it runs perfetly

Ghost recon... Oh boy I was disappointed... I have it on Xbox one S and was expecting a jump in visual quality and 60fps on Stadia... None of the above, same graphics, no 60fps and latency was big... I returned it

 

On chromecast and phone, I never had any issues, the responsiveness feels like instant (playing with my xBox one controller bluetooth on the phone)

@TekoRaiK  I would recommend experimenting with the smoothing settings in the control options. For controller play  i found that to be effective I was constantly missing with that setting at defaults but its much more effective with it off.

For me, Doom has only lagged under conditions when any other game would lag (other people streaming Netflix and Youtube at same time.)

I'll add my vote to try 'Limited Data usage'. I use that setting and I think it helps. I don't have a 4k TV anyway, and my connection isn't the fastest. So fun to be playing this on my 2017 pc without having to buy a new graphics card!

Hello,

I've decided not to refund, this is the main cause:

INPUT LAG (aka input delay) != UNPLAYABLE

I think that Doom Eternal has a good gameplay in Stadia and I enjoy that.

I mean that is sad to think that delay depends (despite another things) to the game and the release.

Comparing Doom with Borderlands 3 the input lag in Doom is very noticeable, same conditions, same network and ISP, same computer, same operating system and same hour of day with the same "other stream services", more than one time, a lot of times and a lot of days is the same situation about the comparison between Borderlands 3 / Destiny and Doom, Doom has more input delay.

This technology is good, but is new, and I think that Google should work to give us a better quality, not only for controller, also for keyboard and mouse. This is my though about that
