Hey @stupider4,

Have you tried lowering the polling rate on your mouse to see if that helps? I've seen some people say that can make a difference with issues like this.

Sadly no, that didn't do anything. I've also change my mouse driver. And still no success.

Gotcha, thanks!

Have you been keeping an eye on your CPU and VRAM usage while this is happening? Are you seeing anything out of the ordinary there?

  @EA_Kent yes, I discovered that whenever my gpu usage is at 99% the input lag start to kick in. I've found a place in Olympus that can perfectly recreate this bug, and I've asked several friends of mine and they all have input lag, just not as severe as mine.
  On Olympus, next to turbine there's an elevated house with a waterfall behind it, there's also three loot boxes with one of them that spawns gold loot.
  If you go near the three loot boxes and stare at the waterfall, you'll instantly feel an delay in all input.
  I've attached a file to help describe my problem.
  Thx

    That's good info, thanks! We've been investigating the performance issues that some people have been reporting since the 9.1 update. It sounds like this might be related.
