Hello, I've a had an issue of lag input these past few days. I've always played in borderless windowded up untill now, but it started giving me a weird feel when playing, like strafing felt life surfing. This issue doesn't occur when putting the game in fullscreen. But the problem is that I'm find windowed way more enjoyable.
Does anyone know how to fix that? Thank youuu!

The only fixes are to either use fullscreen, or to install an older version of windows (7 or below) or a linux distro that doesn't do any triple-buffering or forced vsync. Fullscreen is easier though.

What's happening is when you're in windowed borderless, windows uses the desktop compositor which will always triple-buffer frames, which causes input lag.

The thing is that I have windows 7, and it had never done that before :/ I'm using full screen for now, but if there is fix I'd be glad to know!

You should be doing: http://ccm.net/faq/14922-windows-7-disable-desktop-composition

Any other input lag would be from the slight framerate reduction of being windowed, but it shouldn't be so big you can easily tell so if it persists after that it'd likely be placebo.
