How to fix UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes input lag issues

You may encounter some input lag while fighting in UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes. To see how you can potentially fix the latency, you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first potential fix, you should double check to see if you have Game Mode (or a similarly name mode) enabled as doing so will reduce the input delay.

2. We also recommend that you play the 2D fighting game with a connected controller as it should be faster and more stable when compared to wireless.

On the PS5, make sure you enabled USB communication by going to the console’s Settings menu and then selecting Accessories > Controller (General) > Communication Method > Use USB Cable.

For the PS4, open the console’s Setting menu and then select Devices > Controllers > Communication Method > Use USB Cable.

3. By default, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II has Vsync enabled. While this prevents screen tearing, it also adds to the input lag.

To disable it, open the Option menu in the game and then select System. From the System Settings screen, make sure that Vertical Sync is set to Off.

4. Return to the Option menu and then head over to the Game section.

From the Game Settings screen, move the cursor down to Input Lag (Network Mode). It should show the following description:

Configures the input lag in Network mode. The lower the value, the more likely screen rollback will occur.

The default value of the Input Lag (Network Mode) setting is 2. You will be able to change it within a range of 1 to 4. After changing the value, test it out during an online match to see if the controls feel more responsive.

How to prevent accidental pausing in UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes

If the action gets too intense in UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes, you may end up accidentally hitting the pause button (which is the Options button on the DualSense/DualShock 4 and the + button on the Nintendo Switch). This will end up throwing the rhythm and the intensity of the fight completely off.

To see how you can prevent accidental pausing in this 2D fighting title, you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech.

1. From the main menu of UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II, open Options.

2. Next, you need to select Game from the Options screen.

3. In the Game Settings menu, move the cursor down to In-Battle Menu (Versus Mode/Network Mode). You should see the following description appear at the bottom:

Change the length of the button press required to open the menu during a match.

4. Make sure that the In-Battle Menu (Versus Mode/Network Mode) setting is set to On and then exit the Option menu.

To now pause during the middle of the match, you need to hold the pause button. If you quick press it instead, then the battle will keep going.

How to automatically skip intros in UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes

By default, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes will play a short introduction at the start of every versus battle. To skip them, you have to press the Options button on the DualSense/DualShock 4 or the + button on the Nintendo Switch.

If you would rather set it so that the intro is automatically skipped for every versus match, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can properly do so.

1. To start off, you need to select Option from the main menu.

2. Next, select System from the Option screen.

3. In System Settings, move the cursor down to Auto Skip Vs. Screen, which has the following description:

Toggle auto-skipping of pre-battle Vs. screens.

Make sure that it is set to On.

4. From the same screen, move the cursor down to Auto Skip Vs. Screen (Network Mode). You should see the following description:

Toggle auto-skipping of pre-battle Vs. Screens in network battles.

Make sure that Auto Skip Vs. Screen (Network Mode) is set to Off.

5. You can then exit the Options menu.

The next time you play a versus match offline or online, you should no longer see any introduction cut scenes.
