dimcoe,
1) I meant : could you try to turn on the Aiming Preview and see if it creates a similar lag ?

2) Yes, Microsoft authorized me to raise it to 2GB, but this will delete everything on it, so people will have to download their Mods again ; so before doing that I'd like to warn all the users by posting a message in the TE4 Xbox Club, but I'm still waiting for Microsoft to activate it...
By any chance, can you see the club on the TE4 page on your Xbox ?

[dimcoe]

Thanks, cool that it is cross-platform! I ended up getting a Steam copy anyways, to support the project and play on the go.

Regarding 1), I don't play with the Aiming Preview. The only stuttering I notice happens just a moment before a ball is called out. I have to double-check, but my impression is that this happens more often when it is the cpu ball that goes out, not mine. (From the little I played on Steam, this does not happen there, only on Xbox).

Update: Just checked, and the stuttering also happens sometimes when my ball goes out, as well as the cpu's. Not always, but relatively often. Will try with the aim preview and report back.

I can see the Club after adding TE4 to the Home.

Just tested with every aiming on, including the danger zone, and the occasional stuttering when the ball goes out persists. No crowd animations, third-person camera.

dimcoe,
I was wondering if it would make the game stutter more, not less.
According to your answer, I guess it means it's the same, so I have no idea what's going on... I'll try to check with my console, but I haven't noticed it so far...

[dimcoe]

Yes, I didn't see a difference in how often it happened. It's no game-breaker, since it happens when the point is about to be over anyways, it just breaks the flow a bit.

Another issue I've been occasionally having on Xbox: sometimes just after starting the game, when the mod options window appears, the game seems not to recognise my controller, even though it is connected via cable. The only way to solve this is by quitting the game and starting it again (which takes quite some time in my S).

dimcoe,
1) I may have a similar issue on PlayStation so maybe I'll figure out what's going on sooner or later

2) Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, I guess I cannot do anything about it. However, an update of Rewired (the plugin I'm using for the controllers) just arrived, so let's cross our fingers that it'll help with this issue...
Thus said, if you turn off & back on (or unplug & replug) your controller, does it help ?

[dimcoe]

1) I thought it might have something to do with the line referees, but decreasing the level of detail so that they do not appear did not change things.

2) Fingers crossed! I tried both of those, but the controller missing window keeps reappearing. It's very occasional, though, so no big deal.

[manutoo]

dimcoe,
2) The missing controller message is from the Xbox system, not TE4, right ? If so, it may be an issue with your Xbox controller... Or do you get it only when you play TE4 ?

[dimcoe]

Yes, it's an Xbox system message. I get it with two different controllers and only on TE4, so I think the issue is with the game.

[dimcoe]

Regarding 1), I recently noticed the occasional stuttering when the ball is about to go to the net too, so it seems to be a more general issue with errors (or point changes, though I didn't notice stuttering when there are winners).

[dimcoe]

Update: it also happens sometimes when the ball touches the net but lands in.

[manutoo]

dimcoe,
I tested on my Xbox and I didn't notice any lag on error. However, the game can get terribly lagging when the crowd applauds, but it should happen more on winners than on fault, so I guess it's not your issue. To be 100% sure, you can try to disable Settings -> Video -> Advanced -> Crowd animation.

[dimcoe]

I have it deactivated from the start, since I had read here that it could cause stuttering. Do you have a Xbox X or S? Mine is S, in case that might be the difference.

[rafaelnadal]

I have Series X and all perfect
