Sonic UltraSaturn is so slow with Virtual Controllers, low fps/lag

[Jobima1st]

Recently I noticed Sonic UltraSaturn (free fan game) having fps/lag problems with majority of Virtual Controllers, oddly it's kinda fine if I do virtual dualsense (it will lag in beginning only, then it will be fine, same as using original controllers), but the game dont support dualsense at all

I saw the same problem with PadForge, hifihedgehog/PadForge#350 (reply in thread) so if you want to take a look for more details, ignore the stiffness issue as it's not present in DS4Windows

thanks!

Its probably happening something similar to using dshidmini with a dualshock 3 controller, it lags the system, try the same solution to that, go to windows services and disable the gameinput service

go to windows services and disable the gameinput service

Unfortunately, that no longer work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oubzMMLLoFI

Disable, not uninstall. Here is the comment that i left in that video so other people can use the fix

Search the gameinput service and right click, properties, the first drop-down that appears lets you disable it, also look for gameinput redist and disable it (run the services window as admin to disable the second one) (works on windows 10 latest version, i dont know about 11)

already tried that, it will be reenabled after few sec/min or after restart, at least in win11, so yes, microslop know how to make it users hell

works on windows 10 latest version

btw, I already have an old laptop with win10, and here what it do hifihedgehog/PadForge#350 (comment) and hifihedgehog/PadForge#350 (comment) (I didnt even disable gameinput in it), and btw I dont remember there was slow at start (in 2024 win11), so yes even win10 was corrupted by Microsoft, but at least the slowdown will not be permanent as in the case of Win11

things seems getting better in PadForge hifihedgehog/PadForge#394 so maybe that will help in DS4Windows case too
