    Anyone notices a delay/lag using a mouse with playing MWF2? Its like there is a split of second delay when moving the mouse around.
    Not sure whats causing it...but i never had this lag with mouse input on my desktop.

    I've also noticed a bit of mouse delay when playing MWF2. Not much but it's still there.

    I normally turn V sync on in every game I play and it hasn't occurred in any others.

    Then again, it could be the wireless mouse I am using...

    Turn Vsync off.

    Mouse lag with Vsync on is a known issue in Unreal Engine 3 games.

    yeah turn off v-sync inside the game settings, turn it on on the nvidia control if you want. This will fix the mouse lag, although there is still a bit of screen tearing. but i can live with that...
