Thread: sudden mouse lag since 3.0

So i got this problem with my mouse its respons got so delayed all the sudden since 3.0

The game works perfectly on the highst settings its only the mouse that lags also even if i turn every thing to low my mouse stays laggy.

I thought at first maybe it has to do with DX11 since that was the client i was using,
i tried to switch back to DX9 and the mouse lag was still there.

I really dont know what the cause is My GPU is a GTX 760,
my mouse works fine in other MMO's etc the mouse lag only happens in FF XIV.

well my pc never gets heated its always cool and the mouse and keyboard are directly pluged in to the motherboard and work fine its only in FF XIV where it starts to lagg

Edit:
It seems they've changed it since I last looked. They now use the hardware by default and have a setting to enable the software cursor. On the "Mouse Settings" page of the "System Configuration" menu, there is a section for "Expanded Mouse Functionality Settings." Enabling this may cause the mouse pointer to drag.

yes i found it at first i thougth you were reffering to the windows mouse configuration settings but yea i got it now .....
all this time i have been playing like this mouse responding late to my motions xD
