Mouse lag

[Hakubi]

Heya, I love the game but I keep getting killed because mouse movement has a heavy input lag and is slow to react despite my FPS being locked at 50FPS or so. Vysnc is off. Mouse acceleration/smoothing is disabled in Windows and Logitech software. I don't see an option to disable smoothing/acceleration in game and don't have this problem in any other games so unless there is a hidden config option for it I have no idea whats going on. This happens on foot as well as in a vessel and so doesn't seem to be heavy mass related. Anyone have ideas?

The mouse lags big time in this game. The more powerful your pc will be, the less lag there will be, but it will still lag quite noticeably compared to other games.

I'm experiencing horrible mouse movement after recent Nvidias drivers update.

I have never noticed mouse lag in this game and my computer is not what you would call powerful.

This sounds like an NVidia problem. I know a recent NVidia driver update really messed up Farm Simulator. An error on their part which they admitted.

It was strange. I play Empyrion and next comes Nvidia's update and at the same moment after installation I have difficulties with the mouse in the game. It is slow and inactive, I have to click several times to get results that were previously only one click.

What brand of mouse do you have? I had a Razor mouse and after one of their updates I had a similar problem. Couldn't figure out how to fix it. Solved it by buying a Logitech mouse. It wasn't just EGS. It was everything.

Everyone affected should try rolling back your NVIDIA drivers a version or two, & see if that helps. And also, let the NVIDIA devs know, as well as the name of the game (Empyrion) that is affected. This will make them more likely to fix it in a future update.

(This is exactly why I DON'T have auto-updates on for my graphics card; I've been through way too many updates that broke my games, even stopped my sound-bar speakers [on an HDMI connection] from working anymore - & NVIDIA support outright told me they weren't gonna fix that particular issue ever, LOL, so my speakers would have to remain broken if I stayed up-to-date~. So yeah, I had to roll back to old drivers & stay there.

Now I have a new system w/a proper 3.5 mm connection so that's no longer an issue, but I still won't update my video card drivers. If they already work just fine, there's no reason to. I'll only consider it if I have issues with certain games in the future.)

It is not uniform, and it's most apparent when using the jetpack in space. Also WASD keys lag when using the jetpack: the movement starts a fraction of a second after pressing the key. I almost exclusively play my own custom scenarios which are very light but in the vanilla game and when surrounded with many npc I can notice a small amount of lag, not to mention brief hiccups when any kind of prompt from the game comes up. It even froze the game a few times when doing missions.

Yes, I remember people discussing this bug so I am sure it is real. Fortunately I have not encountered it.

Thanks for the tip, it will be a new mouse.

Before buying a new mouse do you have another one you could try out? I would also try rolling back NVidia drivers first too, as previously suggested.

The game has terrible performance, panning stutter, mouse lag etc even on 4080/7800X3D system, devs would rather play around with paid DLC than fix these issues, it's been like this for ages.
