Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
We have issued a fix to address most of the “mouse lag” issues associated with gaming in Windows 8.1, which vary based on the game, input methods used, etc. More details on the issue and available resolutions are available via KB 2908279, and affected customers can go to the Microsoft Download Center to install the update
We can all chill now. Microsoft have finally acknowledged this mouse lag issue and are working on a fix :)
It wasn't overlooked. While some people reported it during the preview, a buddy of mine hasn't upgraded his preview OS to the released version yet and he doesn't have this problem, while I do on the released version.
If the bug was reported in RP and MSFT ignored said bug, then yes, it was overlooked.
You can get about 15+ DXDiag reports from the Blizzard thread I posted earlier in this thread, FYI.
Can you please post your systems DxDiag?
Run > DxDiag > Save all information.
Is there any custom software you are using? MontionJoy .... Joy2key.. or emulation programs that overwrite base drivers?
Some people are and some people aren't experiencing these issues, so it would be really awesome to see if it is specific type of software that could be causing the problem.
One thing I have tried in the past is slowly rolling back or removing specific software to see if they could be affecting the interface devices.
Bios fully up to date? Amongst all other hardware? its the best first steps to take for trouble shooting after making such a big change on your OS.
This issue was reported on another thread where the solution posted was to rollback the driver. The member stated rollback option had not been available until recovery was performed.
