Mouse Input Lag and Acceleration

Post » Mon Feb 11, 2013 2:56 am

First off, I understand that a topic has already been made in regards to input lag in the Crysis 3 open beta. My intentions are to try and get some developer feedback on this issue.

Also, I do not require any tips from other players on ways to reduce or "cope" with the input lag that many of us are experiencing. I am in the group that expects developer feedback and corrective actions to ensure the game we all plan on buying has the smoothest controls possible.

My system specifications :
Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp U2412M
CPU: Core I5 2500K at stock settings
GPU: 2x Geforce GTX 680s in SLI mode
Hard Drive: 1.5 TB Western Digital Black edition
Memory: 8 Gigabytes of Corsair 1600 mhz Dominator
PSU: 860 watt Seasonic Platinum rated
Mouse: Razer Naga
Secondary Mouse (Used to verify problem isn't on my end): Logitech G400

The input lag and mouse acceleration I am personally experiencing is difficult to put into a quantifiable measure. However, the difference between aiming in Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 with similar graphical settings is tremendous. On both games I have set Vsync to disabled and maxed out all graphical features with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. The only exceptions are that AA is turned off and motion blur is disabled.

In Crysis 2, the input lag is not present with either of the mouses I own and acceleration is a non-factor. In Crysis 3, both input lag and acceleration are noticeable to the point of feeling very similar to aiming with an Xbox 360 or PS3 joystick. I apologize for the relatively hazy definition of my problem, but it is the best comparison I can think of.

Also, I have tried to record some videos of my issue but the problem is just one of those "have to feel for yourself" kind.

Thank you Crytek for addressing this matter.

Hello, choteusprime.

Before proceeding further, try running the game windowed. It currently has an issue in which the game runs much better windowed for some reason: Should be fixed by release date.

If it still doesn't run well enough, run it windowed AND turn all graphics options to low. If the issue is solved, experiment with graphics settings until you can fine-tune it for optimal visuals and performance

IF THE ISSUE PERSISTS: Please, create this thread in the Crysis 3 MP Beta forums here: http://secure.gamesas.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=61

Reply to this thread with the URL to your new thread, but please continue all further discussion in the other forum.

Thank you!
