Issues fixed

Frame rate drops

Game engine incorrectly overpolls the USB I/O in Windows causing significant frame rate drop.[2]
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 polling rate in your mouse software.
  • Alt+Tab ↹ to desktop for a few seconds.
