So JC2 looks amazing, and I'd love to get it; I'm playing the demo atm. There's one thing stopping me: huge mouse lag. At first I thought it was the negative mouse acceleration everyone was complaining about, but its not; I have about 0.4 second delay (my estimate) between mouse movement and camera movement. That is, I can flick my mouse to the side and then back to the center, AFTER which the camera flicks to the side and back. Its impossible to enjoy the game like this. Also, update lag in general; I assumed that there is a delay between key presses and actions as a realism factor, which some games have, and its not really annoying, but its there. I can tap TAB about 3-4 times before Rico starts to move.
I heard there was a patch, and the notes included:
-Reduced input to update lag.
-Limit frame latency command line option, for reducing input to render lag ( /dxframelatency=n, 1-3, default 3).
Both might help in my situation. My question is this: did the demo get updated as well? If it did, I'm screwed, I guess. If not, it might work if I buy it. I might torrent it then to check if it works first.
Also, I don't have a great graphics card, but I'm well over minimum requirements. I'm running on minimum settings for everything atm, but I get good framerate even at decent settings. I also have a really annoying problem with cutscenes, where audio is normal but subtitles+video is really slow and laggy, leaving me with a good deal of silent gesturing at the end of a cutscene. I have this problem in other games, too (AC series) but it doesn't affect gameplay, so I don't care that much.
