“To be fair…” Looks to me that it is an issue that they might not consider it as a priority or that it is something hardware related and hard or impossible to fix. I would be disappointed too for that price and their advertising.
From memory, I think the value of the latency adjustment is dependent on what blocks you have in your chain. For example, I recall an empty patch requiring a different value vs a patch with an amp block vs one with amp and cab blocks.
It’s been over a year since I looked into this issue into depth with my setup.
I also had to increased the value from V6 to V7, although I might’ve just added more effect blocks into my typical patch.

I suggest dialling in the latency compensation to an in>out preset. If you dial it in for a super complex preset that perhaps does introduce a bit of latency, then you're negatively affecting it for simpler presets.
this is the link for the FM3 drivers
FM3 Downloads, Firmware Updates, Factory Presets, Preset Banks, FM3 Manual, FM3 Driver
FM3 Downloads including FM3 Owner’s Manual, Fractal Audio Blocks Guide, FM3 Firmware, FM3 Factory Presets, FM3 Factory Banks, FM3 Driver and more

They don't seem to announce it on the Fractal forum to my knowledge so I have to check every so often this link.

USB Firmware V 1.15 Release
Hi Everyone, New USB firmware for the AXE FX III, v 1.15, is available! This release fixes an issue where USB IN channels 1 and 2 can move to other USB IN channels causing a sudden loss of output. You can download this release from the downloads page for the AXE FX III on our main website, or...
The USB drivers can be found here on the forum I believe

Recording time is limited as is. Zero chance in hell I would be fucking with any of this manual correction.

You may very well be right.

Another thread was opened on the Fractal forum regarding this issue - it has now been locked, not sure why it was all very courteous.
"We are of course aware of the USB latency reporting complaint. We understand and empathize that this issue and required workarounds have made things more difficult for some of you. However, the FM3 team has been dedicated to keeping up with Axe-Fx updates for as far back as I can remember. It requires a lot more work for the "little brother" to inherit features from the powerful Axe-Fx III, and addressing the USB fix is would need to take effort away from these other areas. The vast majority of customers would prefer that we continue to add new amp models, new effects, new sound features, and more -- and even clamor on a regular basis for these to be done already. And this isn't like "dusting crops": the FM3 is a serious professional product which needs to be programmed and maintained with the utmost care. We will keep you updated on any developments in this area and maintain our commitment to high quality products"

Not allowing justified and reasonably expressed criticism is never a good move.
Although I personally don't actually use the FM3's USB audio, it should work if it's advertised.

Agreed but as FAS has stated before, it is their forum and they can mod what is and is not allowed, for better or worse.
Fortunately, we do have "neutral" forums where we can discuss such things, such as here!
Not trying to give FAS an out but this isn't out of the ordinary.

I think it fair honestly there was nothing more that could be discussed they gave honest answer , we will get to it as soon as we have time but at the moment most users want all the new stuff
What could be gained by 2 pages of complaints if they have addressed that they are aware and will work on it
