I think the only thing you could do is try to find all the stops along the chain (driver, OS, toolkit(DirectX, etc), game) and change each one. That problem could be compounded by any drivers that refuse to play nice with the game code. Basically, your mouse commands are getting buffered somewhere, but the game isn't clearing that buffer fast enough because some other thread has it locked (maybe the thread/process that's pouring commands into the buffer in the first place) I'm gonna make the biggest, most blindest guess I can here and say that mouse/keyboard lag issues on these games would be caused by several layers of input massaging they put into the system to cross platform it more easily combined with the specific nature of your hardware and some kinda deadlock in threading. If I were a developer I'd say to hell with appeasing the hardcore players- there aren't enough of them to make it profitable and they're probably the most likely group to pirate a game. You don't see EA advertising a game saying "No DRM, fluid feeling, perfect balance" it's more "big explosions, 7th game in the series, 4 new weapons".

You just described games like Sacrifice, and Darwinia that did not make anyone millionaires.

Make it easy to learn, difficult to master Make it finely tuned so its perfectly fun first, perfectly balanced a close second. Make it easily accessible, no draconian protection Make the controls fluid, natural feeling, and smooth
You are probably already aware of this, but if not, I'll teach you how to sell many, many copies of a video game. I will do everything in my power to make sure this never happens in our games! QUOTE(Flayra Oct 29 2008, 08:27 AM) This is a big pet peeve of mine.
