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

    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.

    I was actually just trying to pass on some friendly positive news. Everything new has teething problems, I also have the issue but I know they will fix it asap so nothing to worry about.
