**PLEASE POST CRASHES AND ERRORS IN THE ‘TECHNICAL SUPPORT’ CATEGORY INSTEAD** We kindly ask that you complete the questions below. With this information, we can add it to our database for investigation. * * * **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. **Upload Supporting Evidence:** [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/UECiuPrGigo/maxresdefault.jpg "Darktide Mouse Hitch Bug") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UECiuPrGigo) [console-2022-11-30-21.37.04-2c321754-8e24-4b06-a5c8-265d57cc7dc5.log](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/uploads/short-url/blqAkPLcxqIQyhSidDpgiIPw3s.log) (24.5 KB) [darktide\_launcher.log](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/uploads/short-url/xBPG2g24sJIxb0akWAFob2wfdiD.log) (413.7 KB) ---

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. CPU I7-8700K GPU Nvidia RTX 3080Ti RAM 16GB OS: Win 10.0.19044 Build 19044 Really massive amounts of hitching where the framerate is high, but everything stops for a couple of seconds pretty regularly. ---

Same issue. i9-13900Kf RX 6950 XT 64 GB RAM Win 10.0.19045 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.
