Alt Tabbing causes mouse issues

[bugc]

Hi guys,
Whenever I alt tab in Warframe and tab back in, my mouse will act extremely slower than what I had set,
It also appears to slightly lock onto pixels when I move it.

Alt Tabbing creates this problem and the only way to solve it is to restart the game.
I've tried changing my resolution, alt Tabbing a few more times, going into Windowed and back to full screen mode.

Anybody else with this issue?
Happening with my mate as well.

Thanks

i recently had this too - and the problem was my mouse itself (age old logitec G9) - after replacing it, everything work fine again.
another problem might be your used USB port. if your mouse has an extremly high signal rate (high-tech gaming mouse), the port might not be able to handle it - especially if you have other devices on the same usb-hub running. see into your windows device manager to get which ports are of the same hub, and put the mouse to a hub with noting else on it (tough luck if you play on a notebook though, for those usually have only one hub for the whole notebook).
most desktop computer often have one or more unused usb-hubs on the mainbord where you only need to plug in the "card" with usb-ports.

Doesn't make sense though. The mouse works fine until you alt-tab out and back. Signal rate doesn't change from one time to the next when the game gets focus.

This is a known bug that the developers acknowledged back in 2015. They just haven't gotten around to fixing it.

I'm having this issue also ... but to me it almost feels as though the mouse is too fast when the game starts and it slows down to what it should be with my settings when I alt tab.

Playing on fullscreen.

got the same problem and it still persists ;( ... think its a problem with directX and the game mechanics ... if i change the directX settings in the launcher to DX10 or less the mouse is still on max speed and never drop to the slow state ... if i activate DX11 only/both the mouse slows down after a couple of alt-tabs and only in fullscreen ... i noticed that this slowdown-effect only happens if u have changed the windows mouse settings above/below standard speed ... if u only use your mousedriver to set the mousespeed the problem is gone ... but in my case i have a razer taipan and the mousedriver is horrible to set the right speed i need to work with on my pc ... in the synapse software i can switch only every 100 DPI and 800 is barely to slow and 900 to fast so i set the DPI to 1700 and use windows to get only half of it to get near 850 dpi and is great for me ... since this change i noticed that problem in warframe ... i used the 800 DPI from synapse without windows changes but i dont become accustomed over an year ... so its not possible for me to only use the mousedriver or disable DX11 because it has better shaders and more performance ingame ...
