I recently purchased a the InterAct V4 Force Feedback racing wheel to use with "Need for Speed: High Stakes". The force feedback works but it seems like the input from the wheel is delayed. Anyone know if there is anything I can do about this? It seems like the game runs much smoother when I use the Microsoft Sidewinder joystick that I have. I'm running Windows 98 300MHz PII machine and I have the V4 plugged in though my Soundblaster Live X-Gamer. Also, what does "Poll with Interrupts enabled" under the advanced settings of the V4 game controller screen mean? Should this be on or off? It seems that the controller works either way. This is the only auto simulator I own so I can't compare software. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

if you left your device monitor running in the system tray, you can right click on it and try to change the responce time there, Mine works good with NFS:HS I allways disable the Force feedback device monitor becuase it uses alot of your CPU and slows down games, It is only good for games that don't support force feedback. the poll with interrupts I have no idea what it is I am running a 333 K62 win98 SBlive Voodoo2 and NFS runs great Hope this helps

I did that first thing and I still think it plays really bad (basically unplayable). When you have the FF disabled, do you ever notice the FF light on the wheel turn off and on? Mine does this all the time even though the feedback is actually inactivated. The light will go off for about 30 seconds then come on for about 10 then repeats the process over again.
