[QUOTE="Tann, post: 66760, member: 2327"] It seems that input lag is currently addressed by Farsight, and will come as a patch in a (very) near future. I hope so. I played an extensive time on each table I own (both in 720p and 1080i), and like I said in my previous post, input lag is more or less obvious, depending on the table played. Here's my final statement concerning lag, on a scale from 0 (lag free) to 3 (unplayable): [COLOR="#FF0000"]--------------------- Core Tables ---------------------[/COLOR] - [B]Theatre of Magic[/B]: 2 That's strange, but in 1080i, some shots become easier, like the captive ball shot. But keeping alive a multiball a long time, is very difficult due to lag. And I have to press buttons considerably earlier to achieve ramp combos. - [B]Tales of The Arabian Nights[/B]: 3 The worst. Loops are almost impossible to reach while aiming, multiball is a pain. In 1080i, my best score was around 30 millions, first game in 720p: 117 millions. Period. - [B]Ripley's Believe it or Not[/B]: 1 Lag is present, but the table remains playable. There's anyway a noticeable difference when I switch to 720p. - [B]Black Hole[/B]: 1 Almost 0. The difference is minimal, flips are responsive. [COLOR="#FF0000"]--------------------- DLC Tables ---------------------[/COLOR] - [B]Medieval Madness[/B]: 2 Almost 3, due to the sudden ball accelaration after a Damsel or Peasant ramp. In 1080i, you lose the ball, in 720p, you can chain ramps. Definitely a better feeling in 720p (but graphics are ugly compared to 1080i). - [B]Bride of Pinbot[/B]: 0 Perhaps a very little delay, when you attempt the leftmost ramp. No big worries in 1080i and the table is gorgeous. - [B]Monster Bash[/B]: 0 I was surprised, but i noticed strictly no lag on this one. Perfect. - [B]Gorgar[/B]: 0 I played only two games on this one, maybe a little delay when coming to multiball. But hardly noticeable. ----------------------- That's all. So, I play in 720p, but it's a pity, while the game is clearly more gorgeous in 1080 resolution (on my TV). I really hope the fix will come with the next patch (end of the current month?), to fully enjoy the best pinball game to date. Thanks for reading. Tann. [/QUOTE]
