Mouse and keyboard input hitching:

Steps to Reproduce:
Running the game at any more than 1 worker thread. Problem scales with more worker threads.

Platform:
Steam/PC

Player ID:
Steam ID: NotToday

Approx. Time of Issue & Timezone:
Ever since the game went live. Issue did not occur in either closed or pre-order beta.

Reproduction Rate:
Intermittent, once every few seconds depending on worker thread allocation.

System Specs
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5950X
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080Ti
RAM: 32Gb
OS: Win11

The game input hitches at any more than 1 worker thread active, and this is a problem, because on just one thread game performance is severely affected. This issue did not appear in any beta phase, and is a refundable issue. Basically, a rig with my specs cannot run this game, and that’s… silly.

Same issue here, mouse inputs get stuck or don’t respond as well as camera movement freezing, played 40+ hours of the beta and did not have this issue, but this issue appeared on release, sadly making the game unplayable.

had this exact same issue since launch (and not before launch during preorder beta)

have an AMD 5600x and disabling SMT in BIOS + setting #worker threads to 4 fixed this issue for me.

Same here.

Really massive amounts of hitching where the framerate is high, but everything stops for a couple of seconds pretty regularly.

Same issue.

Hitch is mouse input only, keyboard input still functions normally. Changed polling rates, no difference. Much worse since most recent patch + hotfix, unplayable.

EDIT: Never mind, turns out my mouse was dying. Now using an old backup, new one is on the way.
