Can this be answer to all problems ?

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

Can this be answer to all problems ?

Post by awakencs » 29 Jul 2025, 11:45

Hello everyone , after big 5 year fight with input lag (floaty heavy mouse) i think i give up and blame microsoft for all , the thing that i suspect the most affecting mouse feel is DWM that cant be killed and i think its not possible to fix , last hope is to run CS2 on linux and see if there is still a problem but i am not sure.

Fingers crossed and hopefully you get lucky but it's 99% a no.

it is not your hardware or software.

The person breaking things down explained several times, if you're in exclusive fullscreen DWM is not a factor in disrupting your latency.

I'm on windows 11, and I solved most if not all of my latency problems and I don't run games in exclusive fullscreen, so DWM is not and hasn't been a factor of my latency issues. I can optimize my latency even more but it's a balance between energy savings vs super low latency (unnecessary power draw).

What I learned after figuring out my latency problems is, it's a combination of every possible thing on a system. And what is a problem for one person may not be a problem for the next. That's why it's such a confusing thing to figure out.
