[BUG/UI] Mouse moves slowly and jittery while holding ctrl

from Elemental Forums

Holding ctrl to select multiple units on the main screen (e.g. moving out of a city) causes the mouse to become slow and stuttery. This has been the case since WoM's initial release. It's quite frustrating and comes up every time I need to leave a city. This must be unique to my hardware/software because I seriously can't imagine this being problem for lots of people and still being unresolved at this point.

It must be a very difficult fix :grin:

True, but I find it odd that I've never seen it in any other software, game or otherwise.

happens in mid/late game for me.  I;m guessing it is related to either map FOW exposure or number of stacks/units in play.

 

Early game not an issue.. nice and smooth

Agreed. I have no idea how this has gotten better but not gotten fixed. I also have no idea how this is even a problem in the first place. I've done a bit of coding in my time (not too much low-level windows stuff though) and I can't imagine why the mouse would be getting affected at all. Go figure.
