Is the input delay when holding down the mouse button normal?

[ThreeSon]

Feels like nearly a full second delay, when I hold the left mouse button to move continuously or right mouse to attack continuously, before the character actually does anything. Is that seriously how it's supposed to be?

Try limiting the framerate to 60 fps or so.

It's a good idea, but it seems that with the FPS capped at 60, or even 58, there is still the same long delay when holding down either mouse button.

Try limiting the game to a single thread (see step 4) and select 'software renderer' in the configurator if you're not going to use dgVoodoo.

I've actually been doing both of those combined, already, since using the hardware renderer with dgVoodoo causes mild text discoloration in dialogue boxes. However even with both of those, that input delay is still there.

A question though: Have you played the game recently? If so, when you hold down your mouse button to move the character continuously, does the movement start immediately or is there a delay?

Well I hadn't played this game for a year and it was on my other computer, so I installed it on the one I have now just to see.
I have to say I have the gog version and I used the steps in the guide I made.

I do notice the input lag/delay too when holding the mouse button as you describe so I guess that is just an issue the game has.
I never noticed it that much as I just frantically clicked my way through the game, I never used mouse button hold.
