When I have the game selected, it makes my mouse cursor operate at the game's locked 60 FPS. On top of just wanting the game to run at whatever FPS I'd like, just freeing the cursor from the game's FPS would be a win.
#Increased/unlocked FPS, or at least a way to not slow down my cursor's framerate.

The game runs at whatever FPS I want. Even seen some people get up to 160 fps
Unless it was patched out, it is possible
ripe burrow
Could you elaborate? Would love to know how to unlock the FPS.

It was just automatic for me when I had a monitor that was 144 Hz. Like I said, it could've been considered a bug and patched out for the time being
ripe burrow
I'm on 144hz and it definitely limits me to 60 at the moment. More than willing to hear any workarounds anyone has.

do you have this on?

My game only runs at 60fps, which is a shame since it would be cool to get 100+, not a big issue tho 😄
ripe burrow
do you have this on?
Yes, and turning it off puts the FPS at 30.

It annoys me because it makes my cursor run at 60, which sucks.
60 FPS isn't enough anymore, period.
Especially for a game that isn't graphics intensive.

I don't really understand the mouse being 60fps? 😄 are you running the game in fullscreen or something?
ripe burrow

Nope.
windowed.

im running in window and I don't notice any difference in my mouse despite being at 60 fps
ripe burrow
do you have a 144hz monitor?

ripe burrow
click your game window. move your mouse around. then tab to discord. click it. move your mouse around. is there a visible difference?
ripe burrow
well that does give me diagnostic information
reef token
but it feels exactly same ingame, in windows, in discord
ripe burrow
it feels horrible after I click into the game
reef token
that seems like something else problem then :S
ripe burrow
if you're running at 180 i'd hope you could notice the difference, that's higher than I even have access to
correct
reef token
do you have different cursor in game btw?
ripe burrow
which is fine, I'm just trying to solve the problem
reef token
because I don't
ripe burrow
I do not
I remember games having a "hardware cursor" option
and idk if that's a potential solution here
reef token
only thing that comes to mind is that windwos 11 have all sorts of game mode crap
I think I have disabled everything on my end
ripe burrow
I mean, sure, I can try it
reef token
like if something hijacks the game session and locks your cursor in that instance locking it to 60 fps, instead it being just normal windows cursor or something
ripe burrow
thats sort of the feel I get
cause it fixes itself when I click any window outside the game
reef token
i hate windows 11 😄 took so long just to get it stripped of all the bs 😄
ripe burrow
no luck after disabling steam overlay
reef token
do you have winaero? nifty tool to toggle windows features on/off
could try that and disable anything that seem to have something to do with games
did some googling, do you perhaps have enhance pointer precision on in mouse settings in windows?
Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Mouse → Additional mouse settings → Pointer Options
→ disable Enhance pointer precision
google said "This is Windows mouse acceleration and can make in-game movement feel inconsistent in some titles (especially windowed)."
- Disable Xbox Game Bar + Captures
Windows can inject extra frame latency here.
Go to:
Settings → Gaming → Xbox Game Bar → Off
Settings → Gaming → Captures → Off everything
especially disable Record what happened
Background capture can absolutely make windowed input feel worse.
- Disable Fullscreen Optimizations for the game EXE
This is one of the biggest causes.
Find the game .exe → right click → Properties → Compatibility
Enable:
Disable fullscreen optimizations
Also click Change high DPI settings and enable:
Override high DPI scaling behavior
set to Application
This often fixes bad mouse feel in windowed/borderless games immediately.
few of the suggestions
and
- Enable / verify VRR for windowed games
Windows 11 can mess this up.
Go to:
Settings → System → Display → Graphics → Default graphics settings
Try:
Optimizations for windowed games → ON
Variable refresh rate → ON
