Dota 2 (and others) freezing when Mouse is moved...
As the title says, everytime I move the mouse some games freezes.
At the begining was really weird, it happened sometimes and sometimes it didn't.
Before, when I turn on the computer and the mouse caused trouble, I just had to turn it off and on again and it was magically solved (and if I turned it off and on a 2nd time, the problem magically came back), but now this particular problem seems to be here to not go away never again...
I searched for the same problem and found some interesting theories of why this happened, unfortunatelly no fix worked for me. The only thing I found usefull was disabling AMD OverDrive, which "improved" the way the games freeze, but it didn't solve the problem.
I don't know when it started, but I know that it went permanent today when I upgraded the video card drivers.

Im using an AeroCool Strike-X Combat and the video card is an AMD Radeon HD 6670

If more info is needed, please ask and I will post it asap.

Try using older versions of video card drivers.
I disabled OpenGL Triple Buffer and now it works perfectly fine. Probably I enabled it before upgrading my mouse, the weird stuff is that if it was enabled before, why sometimes it failed and why some others it didn't...
At least, upgrading those drivers and making the problem bigger helped me get a solution. Anyways thanks for the help, otherwise I would never go into the card configuration to solve it since I thought it was a mouse problem.

Note: English is not my best language.

Triple Buffer should not be on when VSync is not needed to be on.
They work together. Having one on and not the other can have odd effects.

Catalyst defaults this to off. So u must have turned it on at some point.

But yea VSync + Triple Buffer can always run that risk of USB Input Device Lagg.

I would also disable Catalyst A.I. as most games can run sluggish with that on as well, if they were not originally designed with Radeon GPUs in mind. As we've all seen, some games are usually somewhat more partial to being run on either NVIDIA or Radeon. While they should run well on both, some tweaking may be needed in order for that to be achieved.
