How to fix input delay

  • Launch the game.
  • Go to Options.
  • Scroll all the way down.
  • Find the Input Delay setting.
  • Set it to the minimum value.

I don’t know how long this option has been there, or why input delay isn’t set to the minimum by default. A few months ago it didn’t even exist. My wife and I bought Isaac, realized we had to buy all the DLCs to unlock online co-op, so we did. We played for about a week, ~10 runs, and it was fun, but the delay was too annoying to keep going. Recently we decided to check if it was fixed — nothing had changed, and there were no mentions of it in the patch notes. Out of curiosity I went digging in the settings, and that’s when I found this hidden option.
