[Solved] Unusual PC lagging
Weird lag while playing, lowering graphic didn't help.
Turns out, it's the mouse, if you have the polling rate set higher than 1K, the game does not know what to do.
So those of you with a 4K mouse...yea. A bit sad for a game company.

I can't run my mouse above 125hz apparently. moved usb controllers, went wired, lowered graphics. all still reliant on mouse polling rate.

this game.. it's nothing but a series of fails.. how do you spend years making a game with an engine that holds your hand like you were 3 and still have this many ♥♥♥ ups. I wonder if the character movement issues I have are from the hall Effect keyboard I have running at too high a rate.

changed my polling rate to 125Hz and the game just keeps ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crashing.


10/10 game. ffs.

So, after some digging I found that the game is running below normal priority and that can't be changed.... but I changed the .exe to run as admin and then turned off motion blur and turned on FSR to balanced after toggling "AMD additional settings". I can at least move around the main town at 125hz polling without the excessive stuttering.

i'm on a 3440x1440 monitor at 144hz. (I tried 1280x800 too, same issue)

My specs are:
Ryzen 5950x
128gb ddr4
Asus x570 dark hero
Amd 6950xt


Other steps I tried:
Moving usb controllers on the motherboard - moved to different usb headers and a pci-e usb card and all still stuttered when moving the mouse but not the keyboard via wasd.

3 different mice - all produced stuttering down to 42fps when locked at 60fps (felt more like 15 with seconds between frametimes.
Razer Basilisk Pro (wired/wireless)
Logitech G300s (wired)
Logitech G604 (wireless)


this isn't the first time i've seen mouse poling rate be an issue in a game but its the first game that i've seen that wont even run at 500hz.

Have to keep changing FSR modes every few minutes before mouse stutter starts again. So weird.

My Asus flow x13 gaming tablet doesn't have the same stuttering issues. It got a warning that its performance may be too low but it doesn't stutter even at 1000 hz polling...

its got a intel 12900H, 16gb of ram, and a RTX 3050 Ti.

I just resolved my issues by turning off DLSS. Changing my polling rate did nothing for me.
