Lag in game, works great in Windows

[rishabh-os]

I have a 3rd party Nintendo controller that uses DirectInput, so I'm using XOutput to translate it to XInput. The set up process works fine and I can get a virtual controller running. Using the controller to move around the Windows 11 UI and Xbox Game Bar works just fine.

However, when I try to play certain games, there is a large amount of input lag, and sometimes the controller refuses to respond at all. I have tried x360ce and the issue is present there as well, to a varying degree. BetterJoy crashes after I add my controller so I don't think that is usable either.

Here's the log file: XOutput.log
