Hey guys, been working on this issue for a long time now and just figured out that display fusion was the issue. When moving my mouse in games I will get extreme stutters/fps drops caused by display fusion eating up the CPU. The higher the polling rate on the mouse, the worse this stuttering becomes. At 500hz, the issue is almost fixed, anything above 1000hz it becomes unplayable. I've heard that disabling application hooks fixes the issue, but that disables the main reason I use display fusion.

Yeah some games don't like when we hook into them. Did you disable the hooks for just that game via the compatibility tab, or globally through the advanced settings?

I had the same findings as OP. it took me months to realize the problem was displayfusion. I used the compat settings to disable everything since I don't use DF for any of that. Maybe there should be some warning or something, considering it is on sold on Steam

Agreed. It took me ages to realize it was DF as well. To the point of doing a boot drive format, installing software then testing a game before creating a restore point and installing another piece of software, one by one.

I've disabled hooks for every single game on my desktop with

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\*

and display fusion still seems to cause horrible lag in many of them.

Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:
 

• Open the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Click the "Export Info to File" button
• Reply with the file attached

Can you try out our latest beta and let me know if the issue persists?

We'll do some testing here and keep you posted on what we find.

Thanks!

We tested it here but can't seem to reproduce it. If you disable all 3 hooks globally in the Advanced Settings, does that fix it up?

Weird, what if you disable your taskbars entirely?

Interesting, if you disable tray icons (right click an empty spot on the taskbar and head to Multi-Monitor Taskbar > System Tray Icons > Disabled) on all your DisplayFusion taskbars, does that fix it up?

No unfortunately it's the same, getting rid of the taskbars entirely or closing displayfusion seems to be the only fixes so far.

I've experienced this as well but haven't narrowed it down to DisplayFusion specifically. Is a fix in the works?

Okay this is likely related to the taskbar polling then, it's really odd that we can't reproduce it here though. I'll pass this to our developers and keep you posted when we have anything further.

Thanks!

We've released a new beta, can you try it out and let me know if the issue persists?

After a new update to Division 2, the problem came back. I fixed it by adding "Disable DisplayFusion Taskbars while this application is running" in the compatability menu.

Unfortunately the problem still exists.

Okay thanks for confirming. Without being able to reproduce it here we're just taking shots in the dark unfortunately. We'll add this to our list and see if we have any other ideas though.

Thanks!
