Mouse lag
Enjoying the game so far, but I have terrible mouse lag which is turning it into a chore. I have a decent setup, i7-7700K, 1080Ti, 16GB RAM. In either fullscreen or windowed, whenever the mouse moves over an object, it gets "stuck" and I have to move the mouse even more to keep it moving.

Edit: Should also mention, it happens with either graphics driver as well.

Happen to use a g-sync monitor? It's been known to cause issues with AGS games. I've also had ocassional issues with web browsers (specifically video playback, even when paused) causing AGS (the game engine) to lag, so if you could also make sure that no browser is open when you play we could eliminate that as a potential error source.

I had a similar issue where the mouse only seemed to move consistently when moving it fast. When moving slowly, the cursor seemed to only move sometimes and it was very hard to get the mouse to actually go where I wanted it to.

For me, the issue went away when I turned off "Enhance pointer precision" in Windows' mouse settings.

To turn that off, press WinKey+R, and in the Run window type:
control
After that press Ok, and navigate to Mouse -> Pointer Options, then make sure that Enhance pointer precision is unchecked, and click OK.

Great tip, will keep that in mind if others have similar issues!

In case someone has a Logitech mouse and uses LGS (Logitech Gaming Software) to have your mouse switch profiles automaticallly, you need to disable mouse acceleration in both game and Default profiles. I had the acceleration disabled in game profile, but it was still enabled in the Default profile, and when I disabled it in Default, the issue went away immediately.

Hope this helps.
