Game still has mouse lag ?

[senate]

How on earth haven't they fixed this ? I have everything on 0 and raw curve.

[Cryiox]

Play without Vsync and with Borderless Fullscreen and all input lag will be gone.

The mouselag in this game is linked to GPU utilisation. (like almost all others game that are GPU bound actually)
If you have less than 95% the mouse is fine.
And yeah to achieve that well you have to turn graphics down and also limit FPS lol.
Just wait for CDPR to optimize the game coz it's pretty terrible right now, even after all the patches.

[senate]

I'm going to try these things.

Take this with a grain of salt, this is all my personal opinion and I'm not trying to start any arguments. I do think they can further optimize the game but in my opinion people are just underestimating the stress modern game titles have on current hardware. I don't really see people with 3070's, 3080's or 3090's complaining that the game is running bad. But those cards are stupid expensive and out of stock. The average person probably isn't willing to drop $500+ on a graphics card just to get good frames in Cyberpunk but they still expect the game to run at least decently well for the majority of players who have previous generation cards(2060, 2070 series for example). Other times its just people being uneducated, for example I've seen someone complain about Borderlands 3 not being optimized when they were playing at ultra settings with a 1660 super which just doesn't have the raw power necessarily for ultra.

I could be wrong and I'm open to discussion about this topic as long as its civilized.

There have been many topics of people with beefy cards like the 3070/80/90 who also run into problems.

A quick forum search will tell you that this game is pretty much a hit and miss. You might be lucky, you might not be.

Yeah, there are too many different factors, processes running in the background, different hardware combinations, hardware capabilities, driver versions, windows versions, etc.

I've played this game with initially with an AMD system at first and then built and switched to an Intel build. Both ran perfectly fine even with drastically different hardware for each build. Makes me want to become a PC technician to see what may be causing performance issues for other people.

Be sure your Windows mouse settings don't have their smoothing enabled, as well.

[senate]

I'm mainly an FPS player. Warzone, Battlefront 2, Hunt: showdown. I don't have mouse lag in any of those games even when FPS drops to 50s. There is clearly a tiny but obvious lag in this game. It's been there since the game first came out, was hoping it would have been fixed, but it hasn't.

I play a majority FPS, as well, and the only mouselag in CP2077 I found outside the usual suspects was 'Slow HDD Mode'.
That will cause mouse lag that isn't from V-sync or locked framerates.

It's common sense, you can't play this game in ultra with a bad PC, and yeah I guess you have to say it anyway since some people are dumb or just ignorant.
But I would expect running this game in high or medium at least with my config (9700KF@5GHz + 1080Ti OC + 16 Go 3600MHz C15, everything watercooled).
Don't tell me my GPU is old, 1080Ti is better than a 2070 and can be better than a 2080 on some games too.
I just spend more 100 hrs on this game and finished it and it was with low graphics + fps limited to 60...
There's no consistency in frames, mouse lag, my CPU is litterally sleeping on this game (30-40%), but GPU is always at high usage for no real reason honestly.
I could understand dropping frames while driving but at a spot, with no NPC, no light, in front of a wall with nothing behind it, the GPU is still under heavy load.
If you don't limit your frames, the GPU will be at 99% almost all the time, even in low graphics.

I tried a lot of things to get rid of this mouse lag, Low Latency mode in nvidia panel, disabling fullscreen optimization, settings DPI scaling to application, disabling or enabling Windows 10 game mode, slow HDD mode, decreasing number of NPCs, lower resolution, timer resolution set at 0.5, MSI mode for nvidia driver, interrupt affinity changed for my GPU, nothing works.
The only thing what worked for me was low graphics, frames limited to 60 and raw curve for mouse and controller in the ingame options.
I played the game at its release in december and the frames were exactly the same as they are right now, the patches changed nothing on my side.

Maybe this is what I need to do too. I'll try it next time I play.

No lag for me, its your hardware

You playing with a GTX 1060 and you have no lags.. Glad to hear that mate.
But I believe you don't know what lag means and can't tell if it's lagging or not.
And you want a proof ? Check that : https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/3TShRUPjJEVwUKVkYvGuC.png
Even at 720p resolution with low graphics, you have only 70 FPS lol.

I have no lag, game is a smooth as anything. I absolutely hate lag I cant play a game if I get any of that. This game is a smooth as anything for me. I play on 1080p with most on high except shadows on medium (because shadows dont mean a lot to me) and it seriously runs smooth as butter. I can shoot down street on a bike at 100mph and its great. If you have lag in this game you must have something interfering with your speed. But admittedly I never go by fps. I just enjoy a game if its smooth. FPS mean nothing to me I am not into that crap.

I just picked it up again and reinstalled it. Lag issue this time. This solved my problem. Back to gaming Chooms!
