Issues unresolved
Mouse movement stutters
- Camera movement is stuttering very badly when using the mouse, while it is smooth when using a controller.
- When the game is loading additional world data in the background it stops responding to mouse movement. Currently there isn't a fix available.
Issues fixed
Menu lag and low performance
- Frequent freezing every few seconds.
Disable HID Devices[citation needed] |
