    Hi folks.

    I'm encountering TERRIBLE mouse lag in fullscreen windows games under parallels 15.

    1.) Using 2 of my 4 mac CPUs for the VM, and 1/2 the RAM as recommended. USB mouse.
    2.) I've installed the custom boot flag for the USB mouse recommended for previous parallels previous versions. Doesn't help.
    3.) This isn't a fast "shooter" game, just an adventure with puzzles ("observation" by devolver studios)
    4.) Mouse works fine and fast in the Windows VM, it's just when I enter a game it slows.

    Any help out there?
     
  2. Hi @KurtS7 , could you generate the tech.report after the issue reproduced and post the report ID here.
    Also please share with us boot flag, which you used and let us know did you test the same issue with "optimize for games mode" (In VM config-> Hardware-> Keyboard)?

    Hi Maria.
    The boot flag I used was: device.usb.mouse=0
    Everything is already set to optimize for games; mouse still lags horribly.
    I have searched your site, your documentation and cannot find any instructions on how to generate the tech.report after the issue reproduced get a report ID. Can you tell me how?

    Hi Maria:
    The game self-updates to the most recent version. There is no version number displayed anywhere within the games menus, or on the developers website (epic games). It's the current version.

    Hi Maria! I am having another issue with a spinning mouse bug in games running in coherence, I created another thread about it but I don't know if it is related to this at all hence me posting here. It totally does seem like mouse lag is what's causing it... other than that the game runs *almost* perfectly, see here: https://forum.parallels.com/threads...g-problems-in-games-about-every-5-sec.348034/
