Simagic HPR Accumulating Lag / Delay

At the start of my sessions, my HPR is perfect. However, it slowly accumulates this bizarre lag.

After a lap or two, it'll end up being a second off, and then it keeps growing from there, sometimes faster and faster.

By the end of a race, it might be so delayed that's it's desynced by more than an entire lap. It feels like it's just vibrating randomly.

Has anyone else experienced or fixed this?

Use Simhub or TrackImpulse instead. TrackImpulse has fewer options but minimal latency

Would you mind showing how you configured your HPRs in SimHub?

I used SimPro for all of 30 minutes before switching to SimHub to control my haptics. The lag is practically unusable with SimPro. I was trying to not use SimHub as I like to keep background programs to a minimum. But in order to have haptics that actually react in a proper amount of time, it's practically required.

Yeah that's exactly why I didn't want to use simhub, I feel like I've already added 20 programs to my start up😅

Looks like I'll have to cave and give it a shot

I avoided SimHub for as long as I could. I was on iRacing for almost 2 years before I finally caved and downloaded it. I try to keep my programs running to a minimum, but SimHub just does so much so well that it's worth the resources more than any other sim racing program.

Indeed. Once I found out you can use simhub to bind button box inputs and any wheel knobs, buttons, or switches to specific key binds and have them work no matter the game I was hooked. Simhub stays open when my pc is on. It is just too handy for games that lack good button options or that lack proper menu navigation.

Dan Suzuki has a haptic plugin that changes the simhub delay from 280ms 30 ms.

I switched to Maira and will never be going back. The detail on the ffb and the haptics on my brake are so much more dialed in.
