Hi everyone!
I just noticed there’s something super weird about this FPS drop, and I’d like to know if I am the only one O.o
I recently connected my PS4 controller to the PC and while navigating the menus with the controller, the menu was flawless, however if I hit a key on my keyboard or move the mouse, the FPS will drop immediately, it’s very weird, like the input method does impact the FPS.
has anyone experienced this issue as well?
