Godot Version godot 4.2.1 Question `When moving my mouse while any scene is running causes the framerate to drop. At first I thought that I had forgotten about some code that uses the mouse movement but even trying this on an empty scene causes the framerate to go from a smooth 150+ fps all the way…

Hi! I’ve never heard of such a bug, but if it occurs on any project you create, can you not try to update your Godot version to 4.4.stable? Or at least 4.3.stable?

I’ve upgraded to 4.4 stable and the fps doesn’t dip that drastically anymore however shaking the mouse still drops the fps by about 20 - 30 and the fps graph shows little spikes every time I do so. I don’t know if this is normal but I never had this issue with any other application besides the debug…

Also shaking the mouse when it is not directly over the debug screen causes zero issues so I assume it has nothing to do with my computer. As soon as I move my cursor over the debug tab lag happens. I am happy its not so bad now but it would be great if it didn’t happen at all because down the line …

Do you have anything showing up in the console/debugger logs? Would still be a weird issue, but logs spamming can drastically affect performances, and you’d have somewhere to start. Also, I suppose you did search some solutions on the internet before. If you did find some links, feel free to share;…

Nothing is showing up in the console and I looked online for answers but most people who had similar issues happened because of code regarding mouse movement. I’ve created a new project with one node and a plugin that shows your fps as a graph. Even without the plugin and just displaying the fps to …

You can zip the files and share a Google Drive link.

I remembered reading a thread about laggy mouse movements recently. I did a search and found it Mac OS : code selection lag in editor (Godot 4.x) It’s certainly not the same issue you are having but it might be worth having a read of that thread to see if there is any cross over with your machine …

test-for-mouse-lag.zip Google Drive file. The only thing this project contains is a plugin to get detailed fps info. I know that it isn’t the culprit because I have tested without it and just printed the fps to console with my own code and it has the same i…

I have absolutely no lag when testing your project, so… sadly I don’t know what to suggest you. :cry:

Weird, at least I know that its a computer issue and not a project issue that all players will face. I will mark your request to upgrade versions as a solution for now because that did make it way better. Thanks for your help.

Have you tried switching mouse ? Is it a generic mouse using MS driver or a brand with its own drivers? Have you set a custom, very high polling rate for your mouse? To me it sounds like buggy driver or hardware.
