Input lag where you steer but the car doesn't respond for a significant amount of time can be resolved by '''changing the DampeningEnabled="1" string to "0" in vehicleset_pc_custom_pad.xml''' and reselecting the "Custom" controller scheme in game.
 
 
 
== Issues ==
 
A poster on No Grip Racing details numerous fixes for a number of problems [http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/showpost.php?s=5260a329d0c67c1fdca3f2f8738d8638&p=1329563&postcount=1 here].
 
 
 
Should it be deleted, the text of the post is as follows:
 
 
 
'''Issues:'''
 
* low graphics quality
 
* low FPS and stutters
 
* input lag
 
* poor FFB
 
* cars feel like floating instead of driving on asphalt
 
* AA not working
 
* settings (car set-up, graphics) do not stick
 
 
 
'''Solutions:'''
 
* Force AF to 16x through the gfx card driver
 
* http://www.overclock.net/ati/979202-shift-2-performance-fixes.html#post12952722
 
* Edit DampeningEnabled="1" string to "0" in vehicleset_pc_custom_pad.xml and reselect controller scheme in game (to custom pad of course). Should work with custom wheel file as well. Disbale 'Allow Game To Adjust Settings' in Logitech Profiler.
 
* FFB is different for sure in Shift 2. The one thing really missing is tyre grip in the FFB.
 
* This is mostly caused by the default set-ups being very loose. See this thread how to tweak set-ups for more responsive handling.
 
* Apparently AA in S2U is software-based that makes the 'classic' AA not work. With ATI cards, you can enable Morphological Filtering in the driver, this gives good AA but comes with a huge performance drop. For nVidia cards, read this thread.
 
* To save a set-up, use the Shift button. However, there seems to be a bug in the game that reverts changed values to their old values.
