    I had that issue a while ago in DbD - do you have any other Input devices plugged in like a controller?

    I don’t have any controllers plugged in, but I do have an external hard drive, an audio interface, and a microphone connected to my PC.

    I tried using a gamepad and, unlike when I move the mouse, there were no frame drops at all.
    Unfortunately, though, I’m not able to play the game with a controller…

    I switched to a different mouse (Logitech G102 LIGHTSYNC), and even lowered the polling rate to 500Hz — but the frame drops still happen exactly the same way.

    Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing this, or if there’s an official fix coming.

    I have the same problem. When I move my mouse I have zero frames until I stop. Bought a new mouse and lowered the polling rate as low as possible and nothing changed.

    The game works perfectly fine when I use the keyboard to look around but that's not an option.

    Started like two weeks ago when 2v8 ended I think. I'm on epic games.

    Edit: Ok, I've found a solution that worked for me. It was Discord's Overlay. I thought about it being a problem but I already turned if off when it was introduced. That's what I thought at least. There were still some parts active like messages. So I turned everything off and explicitly disabled everything related to DBD. Now, the game works again. I hope this helps someone.

    EDIT2: Ugh, it's not the overlay. It's a different program. Just close everything you don't need while playing DBD.
