Horrendous mouse cursor delay.
This game has a cursor delay who makes it unplayable for me, its 2019 and this is the only game with this problem i know, how cannot ppl want a responsible direct cursor?
I remember playing a game (civ4?) many years ago who had a cursor delay on the main menu but not in the game and how sad it was to click on the menu options.
I tried the mouse sensitivity options and turning off mouse acceleration but with no success.
I can't understand how people can enjoy this and how more than an year before game launch the devs didn't managed to fix that or at least add an option to turn it off who works...

I have this as well. The cursor 'delays or lags' in game as to compared to just using it on the desktop or in a spreadsheet. It's just the game. I've played around with some of the settings and I've gotten mine a little better but I've just come to accept it and work through it. It's not too bad once I've gotten used to it.

The above people don't understand what you mean, maybe because of the terminology used.

The mouse is not "delayed". But it is sluggish. And this is because the game uses software cursor. Most games use hardware cursor.

That's the problem. Games that use software cursor have always sucked in this regard. Not sure what the benefit is to developers over hardware cursor functionality. It may just be that it's more stable or compatible.

Google hardware cursor to learn more.

Basically just makes it easier to port to consoles, or vice versa

Thats becouse im not native, yeah, sluggish looks like a better definition to me after i translated it.

I was hoping there was a solution becouse i like mechanics and so on but this issue makes the game unplayable for me, i tryed the last version and it had the same problem, i was hoping they fixed it on the new version...

Make sure you have these settings:

- Controller = Keyboard & Mouse
- Sensitivity = 100%

I noticed the delay when I first installed the game and I think it was these two settings I adjusted to fix it.

Tried all sensitivities, no success, gonna take a look at videos of gameplay to see if i note this effect.
