tap strafe not working
Last night I was playing Apex with some friends and I was tap strafing fine. I have been utilizing tap strafes for almost a year now so I am pretty good at it. But once I got off to eat dinner and go...
Oh god im not a windows wiz, I only install windows for gaming and when I get something wrong I just reinstall it (I have no benefit knowing the platform as I cant use it in my work). Hence when I was checking for errors on my input stuff I ended up using a full day of trying to fix it before I magically manage to get it right after getting help.
If you have input issues in linux I can help, but I suspect that is not the case hehe. Just try reinstall your mouse software and flash the firmware, my problem was firmware related in conjuntion with win11, for some reason the mouse was in power save mode even if driver/pc software said something else so reinsalling the pc drivers/software and flashing the mouse and updating the settings fixed my issue.
Hello Se6d, I was having the exact same issue less than 2 hours ago. I had changed some in game settings as well as some steam settings. I tried my game on max graphics, max res, and capped my fps to 120 in steam, i normally play 240 fps with all low settings on 1280x800. I tried doing my usual 180 tap strafe wall jump and it wasnt working. This bugged tf out of me. Turns out, for some reason if you turn your settings up it for some reason can add input delay to the game that normally wouldnt be noticed. However, in the case of tap strafing where every milisecond matters, it becomes impossible to tap strafe properly. My advice to you is to make sure all your video settings are as low as possible and make sure fps isnt capped in steam. This should solve your problem.
