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[5] |
|---|
|
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[5] |
