Cursor lagging heavily

[Delirium Enjoyer]

Hi, I really wanted to try out the game but my cursor is lagging heavily in the game, sometimes if i alt-tab it gets fixed for ~3 seconds but then starts lagging again. Changing to windowed mode didn't help either.

My laptop has integrated graphics but a good CPU and can run games like League of Legends and Fallout 3/NV on low settings so i doubt it would cause such lag in main menu here.

I'm having similar issues & not just with the cursor, the main menu/start screen has obvious stuttering when loading in; & very often menus don't properly register mouse clicks. I'm also seeing constant stuttering during gameplay as well.

eg. I will click an on-screen button/tab, HEAR the click, but menu won't update. I have seen this with: A) camp activities on the rest menu B) going between tabs in the settings menu C) very specifically with trying to disable fancy lighting in the display settings, to try & work around the performance issues

This is obviously a software issue... keyboard input is registered immediately whenever you have that option, it's just mouse clicks that don't 'take'; & the game itself is obviously intended to be able to run on a potato.

I observed that disabling weather effects, anit-aliasing, & fancy lighting had more impact on fixing the issues than windowed vs. fullscreen personally

Also seeing this problem.

I registered a bug thru on the intake form (SUP-22593 for any devs looking at the thread). Hopefully we'll get either a post-release patch or some well-broadcasted advice on how to tweak properly the config

Could be a mouse polling issue. I think you can download a program to adjust your mouse polling rate. I will try and see if this affects anything.

Getting the same in big fights. I'm on a laptop with integrated and dedicated gpu and it seems to force the integrated gpu over the dedicated from what I can tell.

Same issue. I am going to refund this.

Same/similar issue, every ~20s the game freezes for 2-4s (only music keeps plaiyng, but cursor, keyboard are non-responsive and animations stop, too). Tried three different mice on different USB ports.

Try out if it does the same in windowd mode.

What's your fps?
Steam -> Settings -> In-game -> In-Game FPS-counter

Also having this issue. Mainly in the menu when I'm trying to hire a sell-sword. Everything becomes laggy and I can't do anything. It hasn't pushed me to refunding, but it's really upsetting to just not even bother making another character because I don't want to deal with the god awful lag.

We should at least have this sorted in the next patch as it's a very specific issue.

We are sadly seeing some slowdown on certain systems and I'm working as fast as I can to fix it.

If the slowdown is during mercenary creation, we should have a fix by next week.

For generalized slowdown, is it happening in an area with fog effects? If so, try turning then off under Settings -> Display -> Weather Effects.

If this does not help I RECOMMEND A REFUND FOR NOW! I'm sure we can fix the issue as we go but I really don't want to give false hope. I'm a solo developer and things take time. The game will always be here for a repurchase once the issue is resolved.

It was disabling fancy lighting that had any positive effect rather than the weather.
