    Hmmm, no chances for me either, i just brought win 10. So i’m not gonna go back. This is a problem on simtools. Just for me be patience. Or will turn off the rig for the time this needit.
    @Damien what type of sim motions you have? It’s it connected using the serial?in the sameComputer?
    Can i attach a photo of my setup simtools maybe can be help.?
    The truth all work better in win10 includes my fanatecv2.5 more faster reaction on inputs.
    For the record my Mobo is a msiX570

    I use SCN6.
    Like almost everyone else who has this problem here, I just did the 2004 windows update.
    With the 1909, everything was fine, which confirms that the problem is related to this update.
    My friends who ride with me on ACC have exactly the same problem.

    I use SCN6 and serial and AMC, same problem always...but if I disconnect all intefaces, and check in game in virtual axis turn on in Game Engine... We can see the same phenomen.... The sliders from diferents axis are very very slows...and big latency... with windows 10 2004 version only. For example, you brake, the car is stopped, and we can continue to see the sliders moving, and with 1909 version.... the sliders stopped in same time the car...

    The problem is not from the interface I think.

    Please state if you are using windows 10 Home or Pro, or Enterprise.... there are some differences between them that could be the reason works fine for some or doesn't for others...

    Mine is windows 10 Pro 2004 - Works fine on 2.4.0. I would not have thought anyone in this realm would be using Enterprise unless they are pirated versions and in that case they deserve what they get.

    Windows Pro for me too.
    I tried to reinstall simtools 2.2.5, but the problem is the same.
    It's definitely from Windows 2004.
    And I can't go back to 1909 anymore, it's been more than 10 days since I did the update... If anyone knows how I can get back to it, thank you.

    I've had some weird 'window drag' problems since upgrading to v2004 with random apps.
    I've read it has something to due with windows errors for variable refresh rate setups in v2004.
    So I wounder if the people having problems also using variable refresh rate setups?
    Chat soon,

    I format my computer with new windows 10 2004 family iso and I have always the bug..(latency under 100% intensity level), I come back to pro version with always the same problem. I check actualy with variable refresh rate settings.....

    Hey, Yobuddy.
    I'm French, so the translations aren't always perfect...
    You mean the refresh rates on the different screens?
    If yes, it's true that I have a 60hz screen, a 75hz, and the VR 90hz headphones.
    On the other hand, I found a way to improve the situation while waiting to find the solution.
    I lowered the acceleration to 250 instead of 500 and I lowered the speed to 5000 instead of 10000.
    The result is much better and more pleasant.

    Hello,

    i have the same Problems with my Motion using HyperAxis, now i had with 95-99 % all in Slow Motion...

    So i try 100% and everthing Works, but with Assetto Corsa its to massive.

    I try out the Smoothing Filter (2d Standard Setiing) from 1-5% over that the issue comes but overall highest Setting only up to 3% and now it feels more normal speacial to Assetto Corsa ;)

    Its a little figure out but Works good ;)

    I am shure its not Simtools Problem more MicroTrash Problem :)

    Hello,

    There is an update for this problem or tips for resolve this ? It's a big problem.... impossible to downgrade without format!!! It's crazy, with competitor software no problem (SRS for example) with Windows 10 2004

    Thx,

    I tested with differents screens, 60hz/144hz...with reducing latency option in windows enabled and disabled.... Same problem. And no problem, with SimRacingStudio and Lince.
    It's just for me it's not logic.
    Some people needs to downgrade with SimTools...
    I contacted a big manufacturer for simulators, and he tolds me, "more and more people needs to downgrade with SimTools. Ours customers doesn't understand... It's since a long time now (July 2020...), and a lot of people prefer to "upgrade" to the competitors softwares..."
    Personaly, I prefer SimTools, and it could be good to have a patch or a solution....
    I'm waiting since beginning of July... I 'm not alone...
    Maybe it's windows, maybe it's Simtools...It's not the problem.
    But why it's not a problem for the others softwares if it's Windows... In 60-144Hz... too, ready to use with others..
    They use telemetry capture system too, serial/scn / hyperaxis "plugin interface too"... without problem with 2004 version.


    I don't want to criticize or complain, I just want a solution to be found.
    The problem does not seem to be related to only one person, the manufacturer starts to relay this problem, simtools ok, only < windows 1909 version.
    It is therefore not such an isolated problem.

    I can purpose my help...for testing... special program tests...I don't know, I really would like a solution for people who have this problem.

    Sorry

    Hello.

    As I wrote above, I found a temporary tip.
    Put it on:
    - profile editor at 100%.
    - speed at 5000
    - acceleration to 250
    This gives something similar to what we had with Windows 1909.
    The video is in French for those who want.

    This simtools problem is very confusing with the latest windows 10 updates, I have the 2004 update on the simu control pc and the 1909 update on the games pc and it works perfect for me because I don't know ... I still have to keep waiting update of win 10 or simtools to see if these errors are solved.

    Hello yobuddy
    I’ve noticed that when I go to output testing I think everything is perfect the rig moves as fast as before windows update it feels exactly the same when moving the sliders it responds as fast as usual. It’s when I start any of my sims-RF2 ,AC ,ACC, AMS2, PC2, DIRT RALLY 2.0 , I’ve lost the intensity, 99% gives me some movement at 100% the rig goes crazy actually jumps off the floor theirs no in between .at 99% I feel I’ve lost Surge and pitch. Theirs definitely more movement in sway and roll or I would say it does not notice as much, hope this information helps as I’ve got used to the immersive of simtools motion And it now feels like PlayStation days “lol” pictures below of my current setting
    Cheers Dave
