gamepad input leniency in high speed mode
It seems blocks refuse to go way left or way right, despite pressing the pad left or right even before block appears. Initially I thought this was on my end.

Tried for comparison the Xbox 360 TGM Ace game and there I see that blocks are way more responsive when you press left or right dpad from the beginning, leaving you more margin.

Are you using Steaminput? Using a controller with native XInpput, and disabling SteamInput for the game should give better results.

Controller has native Xinput. Issue is that pressing left or right is not consistent. 2 straight blocks can be directed to left or right end, but the third block falls in the middle, despite pressing dpad in left or right direction. there is no input leniency to switch from left to right like in Ace


By fast I mean normal mode 1.6 300-400 range, not the crazy speeds above. I also wonder whether it could also be vsync related. I use gsync monitor with in-game vsync off, nvidia vsync on and ultra latency active

Could you clarify the situation a bit?

Do you mean that there’s a delay between your input and the game’s response?
Or is it that, unintentionally, the piece falls downward before you even have time to move it left or right?

少し状況がわかりにくいので、質問させて下さい。

入力から反応が遅い?という事でしょうか?
それとも意図せずに左右の動かす時間もなく、ミノが下方向に落下してしてしまう、という現象でしょうか?

Even though your controller uses xinput, steam Input might still be on. Make sure it is disabled.

I clarify that I am not an advanced player. I played Tetris via GB and the arcade machine back in 1990 and kept some casual contact ever since and am not accustomed to the various terms and techniques.

I notice that when playing normal mode ( level 300 upwards) where controlling blocks becomes faster, there is an issue that despite pressing far left or far right on dpad, sometimes blocks do not obey the commands and fall in the center or center left or right instead of far left and far right. On this speed one mistake means game over.

Because it is a first for TGM on Windows and had nothing to compare, I tried Ace version via xb360 emulation and there I noticed that blocks go far easier on far left and far right on higher speeds at slight press of gamepad.

I am not sure if this is a game issue or has something to do with vsync and input lag
