*<b>Buffer</b>: At the bottom of the screen is the buffer option. Buffer is the amount of latency added to inputs. If you're noticing slowdown and stuttering <i>even</i> on very low impact scenes like a game's splash screens, odds are the buffer is too low and you might need to increase it. A simple formula that is accurate for most titles is <b>1 pad buffer per 15 ms</b> of latency per client. Two players at 50 ms latency would be roughly 3 - 4 buffer, where as three players at 50 and 65 ms would be roughly 7 buffer. Depending on your computer's performance (higher performance computers finish frames sooner, meaning slightly less buffer may be needed) and the quality of your internet, you may need to adjust this. Sometimes poll more/less than others, which may result in the formula not working at all. | *<b>Buffer</b>: At the bottom of the screen is the buffer option.
