It feels hard to get the devs’ attention on this, even though it’s a pretty crucial issue for how the game feels. Especially for players who don’t know how to fix it themselves.

UPDATE 2: Issue Summary: When launching Deadlock through the Steam Client, severe frametime spikes occur every time mouse or keyboard input is provided. These spikes stabilize after a few seconds of no input but return immediately upon movement. This issue does not occur when launching...
