every time 2 min or so i start to stutter & my frames just drop and when i do move my mouse left to right it just gets worse

#

So in your mouse settings, what is your "polling rate" set to?

#

not the DPI but the polling rate itself

#

it should be something like 125hz, 250hz, 500hz, 1000hz

#

im not gonna lie im not to like familiar with like that type of stuff on my pc i just recently got it

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:25 AM

#

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:25 AM

#

logi

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:26 AM

#

a G series gaming mouse?

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:26 AM

#

yes wireless

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:26 AM

#

Do you have the Logitech G Hub software installed for it?

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:26 AM

#

i do not

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:27 AM

#

Ok I'd recommend that first, just to see if that helps, because you are probably just using a generic mouse driver

#

Lets maybe shift focus to some other settings we can check first.

#

What kinda CPU and video card?

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:28 AM

#

gusty fulcrum Ok I'd recommend that first, just to see if that helps, because you are probably...

#

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:31 AM

#

ok. In Icarus, what graphics settings do you have set?

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:33 AM

#

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:33 AM

#

Are you running in DX11 or DX12?

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:34 AM

#

i believe 11

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:36 AM

#

OK. You can check that by right clicking on the game in your Steam Library, go to Properties, and choose Selected Launch Option

#

yeah i've been playin on 11 could that be why?

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:37 AM

#

no, you'll want to be on 11.

#

Hmm.

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:38 AM

#

okay

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:38 AM

#

medium settings should be okay

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:38 AM

#

could it be my monitor?

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:39 AM

#

no, that almost never causes a problem.

#

I still think it might be your mouse

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:39 AM

#

i downloaded the software

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:39 AM

#

When you get the G Hub software installed, check this on your mouse settings:

#

#

Logitech calls it a "Report Rate"

#

set to to 250 or lower.

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:41 AM

#

done

#

does dpi matter?

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:41 AM

#

nope

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:41 AM

#

okay

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:42 AM

#

that's just how fast your mouse moves. the reporting rate is how often your mouse tells your CPU it has moved.

#

A lot of games get overwhelmed by 1000hz

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 1:42 AM

#

ahh okay

#

should i load up icarus and see

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 1:42 AM

#

yep lets give it a try

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

so far so good it only happened once

gusty fulcrum May 9, 2026, 2:04 AM

#

woohoo!

#

Another good idea is to make sure your video card drivers are up to date

velvet timber May 9, 2026, 2:05 AM

#
