Try to play with other mouse or update mouse driver.

Read last week Windows 8.1 has some issue with mouse acceleration.

Blaming peeps mice or drivers is not any real help.

Google : > windows 8.1+mouse acceleration and see results.

 

There are problem's, but as they are not existent for every user, it can't be Windows-8.1 (only).

as driver dev's and MS work together, things will iron out. Same with every newly released OS. It's simple for me, if I cannot wait for driver updates, I shouldn't be updating an updated OS until I don't have to wait for driver updates too. If that means using "GASP" Win7 for another 6 months, mehh so what hey?

Mildly annoying that you need to apply the fix to games not covered in the article, but meh. Works good.

 

Here's a template for a .reg file to add whatever other games you want:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]
"C:\\Windows\\system32\\Cmicnfgp.cpl"=""
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\osu!\\osu!.exe"="NoDTToDITMouseBatch"
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Battlefield 4\\bf4.exe"="NoDTToDITMouseBatch"
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Guild Wars 2\\Gw2.exe"="NoDTToDITMouseBatch"
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\Path of Exile\\PathOfExileSteam.exe"="NoDTToDITMouseBatch"
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\Grand Theft Auto IV\\GTAIV\\GTAIV.exe"="NoDTToDITMouseBatch"
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\dota 2 beta\\dota.exe"="NoDTToDITMouseBatch"
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\Beat Hazard\\BeatHazard.exe"="NoDTToDITMouseBatch"

Just use two \\ instead of just one, point to the location of an executable, then add NoDTToDITMouseBatch onto it. I might recommend exporting your key somewhere if you have a lot of apps added.

 

This problem is actually becoming quite annoying and microsoft should really increase their efforts to fix this.

I recently ended Battlefield 4 Single Player campaign without any problem because BF4 had "Raw Mouse Input" support.

However, when i now want to play COD:Ghosts but can't because of this slight stutter, making it difficult for me to aim.

So far i have tried the "manual" (registry tweak) method on "State of Decay" & "CoD:Ghosts (Single Player)" but it doesn't seem to work and I am getting that same slight stutter. (Its like mouse "skips" some frames or dpi causing my aim to "Slip" more often and sometimes barely move)

 

I have mouse lag too I think, on the desktop, did not try games yet.

The mouse cursor is living its own life, when I want to select a file or text it does not move to the location where I drag it.

 

Would be nice if it was possible to apply a compatibility flag to all exes

 

Same; but that would go against Microsoft's intent to pull as many power-saving stunts as possible on every device :/

Boot a linux live CD to check if you have a hardware issue. Who knows? Mice break sometimes.

 

We could probably modify the takeown.reg:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"

And make it a Reg add rightclick where once you install the reg, you can just right click on an exe and add it to the compat list.

 

So... I ported it to apply the mouse fix and it works, but I can't get it to merge into registry properly and I don't know why. However, if you go and manually add these keys, it works fine. Sorry I couldn't make a mergeable file though. I'm sure one of you can. I even exported it from my registry and it came out exactly the same, also unmergeable.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ApplyMouseLagFix]
@="Apply Mouse Lag Fix"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ApplyMouseLagFix\command]
@="reg.exe Add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "%1" /d "NoDTToDITMouseBatch""
"IsolatedCommand"="reg.exe Add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "%1" /d "NoDTToDITMouseBatch""
