Issues fixed

Frame rate drops

Game engine incorrectly everpooling the USB I/O in Windows causing significant frame rate drop.^[1]

This issue mainly occurs with gaming keyboards and mice like Logitech G series. There are several ways to reduce this frame rate drop:

Open Device Manager (⊞ Win+Pause >> Device Manager), expand Human Interface Devices and disable all HID-compliant device entries.
Open Task Manager and end SetPoint.exe and SetPointII.exe processes.
Open Task Manager and stop hidserv service from the Services tab.
Reduce the USB pooling rate in your mouse software.
Alt+Tab ↹ to desktop for a few seconds.
