Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Mouse Lag With DF https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lag-with-df/?ID=aecf1aeb-c456-453e-ac52-39a5785f1af8#34 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 12:31:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lag-with-df/?ID=aecf1aeb-c456-453e-ac52-39a5785f1af8#34 DisplayFusion I have not had the lag issue since I disabled the Aero color change.

Sure. I will do that and get a new debug log.

@G_W1Z: Thanks! Looks like the Aero colour changed around that time. In Windows Settings > Personalization > Colours, is the "automatically pick an accent colour" option enabled?


Yes, it is. I assume that will require memory when it changes, causing the lag perhaps? ]]> RE: Mouse Lag With DF https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lag-with-df/?ID=aecf1aeb-c456-453e-ac52-39a5785f1af8#27 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 19:05:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lag-with-df/?ID=aecf1aeb-c456-453e-ac52-39a5785f1af8#27 DisplayFusion @G_W1Z: Thanks!

@G_W1Z and @PandaWooper: Could you both send me a debug log for this issue? Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab

Attached is my log with L1: Log Minimal enabled. It happened just before 1:55pm EST.

I use DF at work with a desktop PC and strong specs and never have this happen. Now at home, I use a laptop with strong specs as well but have significant lag with my mouse when running DF.

I turned off DF and continued doing things with 2 monitors and do not get the mouse lag. I tried running DF and closing out of other resource-heavy programs and still get the lag.

I really like DF but dont like the mouse lag, so let me know if I can provide any info to help resolve this. Until then, I won't be using DF. ]]> RE: Mouse Lag With DF https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lag-with-df/?ID=aecf1aeb-c456-453e-ac52-39a5785f1af8#19 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 01:44:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lag-with-df/?ID=aecf1aeb-c456-453e-ac52-39a5785f1af8#19 DisplayFusion Yeah, I disabled everything on startup and the issue was still happening. ]]> RE: Mouse Lag With DF https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lag-with-df/?ID=aecf1aeb-c456-453e-ac52-39a5785f1af8#18 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 00:54:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lag-with-df/?ID=aecf1aeb-c456-453e-ac52-39a5785f1af8#18 DisplayFusion Sorry for the confusion there. By enabling it, I meant "enable the 'disable application hooks' setting," but no matter since you were able to try it both ways. So it sounds like something coule be flooding the hooks.

If you disable everything from Windows startup except for DisplayFusion, does the same thing happen? ]]> RE: Mouse Lag With DF https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lag-with-df/?ID=aecf1aeb-c456-453e-ac52-39a5785f1af8#17 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 03:43:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lag-with-df/?ID=aecf1aeb-c456-453e-ac52-39a5785f1af8#17 DisplayFusion That setting was already enabled by default and the click lag was still present. When I disabled this setting, there was no more delay/lag. even at 1000hz polling rate.

Not much logging data, unfortunately. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JafCPd2CQcePe-0n6nwqSHQcWB8PEdGzSoUeMcZLO2I/edit?usp=sharing

To answer your question, I had disabled everything and the issue is still occurring. Re-enabling these options held the same result.

I read some other threads unrelated to Display Fusion that the issue may be due to the most recent 1903 Windows update. There are other issues as well with mouse polling rates which I have described earlier which may also cause these mouse stutters. ]]>
