Mouse lag

[-Rax-]

I've heard this can be caused by V-Sync. You may need to disable it within the settings for Freelancer in your GPU Control Panel.

I've burned my brain over this issue over the years.

Try all of those:

1. Disable Vsync
2. Try windowed mode
3. Fresh uninstall and install
4. RivaTuner to fix your fps at 150

It's an old game, its something natural I guess. Good luck!

It rarely happens on my PC too.

V-Sync has nothing to do with it
Window mode won't help
Fresh install ain't working
Rivatuner won't help.

So far I only noticed it if a specific effect/ship is nearby and when we have a lot of them around.

Last time I had this was when I was fighting BAF in Dublin as enclave. I can't remember what specifics ships/effects were there, but it fixed itself when someone from BAF| died.

Is this the sort of thing you guys are on about? Video quality isn't great as I've only quickly rendered it.

Pretty much that, It makes any sort of large scale pvp or pve zones utterly impossible to exist in.

Yep, that's what we mean.

When your mouse is taking over

Exists opinion, that this is not related to game being old, especially when this wouldnt happen without connection to server. Just confess, what indeed was changed on client side of FLHook.
P.S. though, my personal bet - uncompatibility of induced FPSlocker with win8-10 legacy DX8 dll.

Just had big pew in zeta. My mouse lagged for 80% of my health, stuck in random corners of my screen. In a nebula with asteroids, multiple caps, lots of effects because K'hara ships. All these wombo combod my mouse into a coma.

I'll do something about my superiority complex when I cease to be superior.

I had a pile of lag issues when my router's QoS was giving priority to my wife's mobile (to avoid being beaten on my sleep and food poisoning). It's much better now when I secretly gave QoS priorities to myself. But it's far from perfect.

Only lag free Freelancer I played was some Genesis mod. That one mod uses one processor core just for a game exclusively (and a game only) and is able to somehow move all other processes/services to other cores.
