Overwatch mouse lag
Overwatch mouse lag
When using window mode, this behavior is often caused by the simultaneous double rendering of the mouse via GDI/GDI+ and OGL/DX11-12, though it’s usually not very obvious. A delay of 50 ms would be acceptable, but 500 ms seems too long. Since Overwatch runs on DX11 and input lag is an issue, a DirectX problem could be responsible. In directX games, mouse and keyboard inputs are typically managed by DirectX through a module named DirectInput. You might want to reinstall DirectX and try again, as it cannot be removed but can be repaired. You can find the DirectX installer on the Microsoft website and during installation choose the repair option before retrying the game.
The delay time varies between 50 and 500ms, usually around 70ms. I plan to reinstall DX quite often.
