Controls for Car are Very Delayed

I made a nice car using Roblox’s car system, but when I test it with another person, the controls become delayed and obvious lag in the physics happen

With 2 or more players:

Short video because only 10MB.

With only one player:

There are obvious differences. The control is better, and the overall gameplay.
I have set the physics on the client and tried the server too. Each one outputs these terrible physics when more than 1 person plays the game.

This is a very good controlled car, but when more than 1 person joins the physics act like they just completely broke.

I really want a fix to this problem. It is fun to play with my friends and create really funny car crashes, but half the time we miss because the physics are so bad. These bad physics apply to anyone who joins the game.

What type of script are you using for the car controls, local or server?
Please post your car script here, and remember to put 3 backticks (```) before and after the copy/pasted code so it formats properly.

The wheels are spheres but meshed to look like cylinders

  • Do you have other scripts running? I see things like a licence plate that seems to be changeable by script, or the Customize button at the bottom of the screen, or the name Convertible printed on a GUI.
    Try disabling all scripts other than the car control script and check to see how the car handles. This includes any scripts in Lighting, or ones installed by plugins or free models.
    If the car works fine then enable the other scripts one at a time to see which one is the cause of the lag.

  • Is the second video in Studio test mode, or are you playing online? The reason I ask is the video screen size looks different.

  • Also why are you doing HTTP requests as indicated at the top of your second video? I’ve never seen that notification before.

You also shouldn’t have to set NetworkOwnership of a vehicle. The VehicleSeat automatically does that for you as part of the Roblox game engine.
