Input delay in Big Sur?

[CaryJ]

TL;DR: mouse input (lag) is bad enough I can't justify purchasing Parallels. Any solutions out there?

Long version:
Hey, folks!
I was initially very excited about finding a Windows option for me to be able to play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition with my family, but I'm finding that the mouse-input delay is preventing me from being able to play the game in an enjoyable fashion.

I've tried several things:

• closing all extra programs
• playing on my Mac only (no extended desktop)
• trying wired mouses and bluetooth mouses separately

I'm bummed that I don't think this will work for me unless I can figure out a solution before my trial date is over. Any help is appreciated!

With the Virtual Machine OFF, go to Configuration > Hardware > Boot Order, and click on Advanced Settings.
In the Boot Flags: box, enter the string below and see if it helps. The string is "as is" --
vm.mouse.scroll.pix2ang=256

This Boot Flag fixed a scrolling problem I was having in Microsoft Project, and it might help you.

That helped out the scrolling issue, for sure! There's now just a little bit of delay when I'm trying to play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. I'm still messing around with the settings, but I feel good about finding a solution at some point. For now, things are playable and usable--thank you for the help!

I did get a newer MacBook Pro (one of the ones with the Max M1 chip), and I threw all the RAM/everything else at it that I could. That seems to have done the trick. I swapped computers in December, and I'd given up on fixing the issues months before, so it's also possible an updated fixed it.

Sorry - wish I could be more helpful!

I just uninstalled everything (virtual machine included) and reinstalled so that I would have the Windows 11 ARM (not Windows 11 Preview Build). So, currently running the Windows 11 version I purchased.
