This setting allows advanced users to customize the update speed of the script running on the Virtual Machine (VM).
Default Setting
- Cronus VM Default Speed: 10 milliseconds (10ms)
Adjustable Values
- -2: Reduces VM speed to 8ms – My personal choice.
- -4: Reduces VM speed to 6ms
- -6: Reduces VM speed to 4ms
Note: Setting values lower than this is not advisable for the following reasons:
- Hardware limitations, such as your controller, may cause bottlenecks.
- For Xbox controllers used on PC, input delays may increase when setting values lower than -2.
Additional Considerations for Input Delay
- If you are concerned about input delays and use a wired headset connected to your controller, consider switching to a wireless headset for optimal performance.
Risks and Disclaimers
- Exceeding the communication capabilities of your platform or controller offers no benefits.
- Incorrect VM speed settings can result in input delays and other errors, even if the VM speed appears to match your platform’s capabilities.
- Do not change VM Speed if your are playing with MnK on your Zen.
- Adjusting VM Speed changes every speed/time calculation in the script
There is zero benefit setting it to faster than your platform can read/perform.
Xbox One | -2 (8ms) |
PlayStation 4|5 | -6 (4ms) |
Xbox X|S | -8 (2ms) |
PC (Battlenet/Steam) | -9 (1ms) |
Important Disclaimer: Setting the incorrect VM speed can result in the reverse effect and increase input delay and catch you off-guard. Faster is not necessarily better.
