Issues fixed

Heavy stuttering during gameplay or freeze while loading game unless a gamepad is plugged into the system

This is caused by the engine incorrectly overpolling the USB I/O in Windows in keyboard and mouse mode.
Plug a gamepad into the system[3]

Issue does not arise if the game detects a gamepad plugged into the system. Keyboard and mouse can still be used to play the game as long as a gamepad is present. This may be complicated on Windows 7 and earlier due to XInput support issues.

Disable unused HID devices in Device Manager[3]
  1. Open the Start screen/Start menu, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter.
  2. Select "Human Interface Devices". Disable all "HID-compliant consumer control device" and "HID compliant device" ("HID compliant vendor defined device" in Windows 10), you should not need to disable anything else.
It is advised to re-enable the devices after the game has closed.
