Being aware of a consistent lag in movement keys when running a game by a user on this Forum, many others have also noted that they have experienced the same. My suggestion at that time was to use SDL as the Graphic API instead of Linux11. However, now is a different story.
Through some research and further testing, my theory is that it is more likely a hardware issue. I refer to this
one article and also to this
other one.I created a little video changing the keyboard Settings on my system which, had a significant effect. you can check it out
here or on the Discord channel.
I have yet to test on Windows so there's not much i can say of how it did. However, Goombert has said he has experienced the same lagging problems, so he is looking into it as well. As of writing this, i haven't been able to discuss my theories with him, yet but i will as soon as he's available.
So that's it for now. as far as Linux is concerned, here are a few suggestions you can do
- use SDL setting as it performs better than Linux11.
- use Oracle Java 8 instead of Openjdk 8 jre (i'll explain in another post)
in case you haven't installed SDL on your Linux machine, you just need to open a terminal window and type the following command
- sudo aptitude install libsdl2-dev
or
- sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev
whichever you prefer.
