#mouse_lag

2024-03-31

Was getting massive lag in Clip Studio Paint every 5 seconds that made drawing impossible. Here's my fix:

• I use multiple monitors
• It's a Windows Issue
• In Display Settings, I turned the monitors off until there was just one, then I turned them back on again

It was really bad. It made drawing impossible. It just kept getting worse. I think a recent Windows update caused it. No matter how much I looked for an answer, everything was a dead end, or the answers were really weird (like installing Krita somehow fixed the problem)

But not matter what I tried, nothing worked. A friend ended up suggesting that it was a common Windows issue with Windows 10 that was supposed to be fixed in Win 11, but it's not. Still mouse lag with multiple monitors

I was close to trying to uninstall and reinstall the program, but nope. Turning the monitors off and on again happened to fix it. So I'm putting this info out there for anyone else that may be having this problem

SPECIFICALLY it's an issue with multiple monitors at DIFFERENT refresh rates. I just got a 165 Hz monitor while my other monitors are 60 Hz

EDIT: Little addendum to this. That did work, but it needed a bit more. Problem came back when I reopened CSP.

I had to exit out of two apps that were running. MSI Center and OnScreenStartUpApp. Now no lag at all
