Elden Ring authors ask not to use mouse software to keep the game from lagging

With the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion for Elden Ring, numerous complaints about performance issues have started to come in. Many players are experiencing freezes that can occur at random moments. According to FromSoftware's official support account, mouse control software may be one of the causes of the performance degradation.

FromSoftware recommends PC gamers experiencing freezes and using such software to temporarily disable it and see if the game improves. If you encounter these problems, try closing this software and restarting Elden Ring.

It's also worth checking what programs are running in the background and disable anything that may affect input or consume a lot of resources suddenly. This can help improve the overall performance of the game and reduce the likelihood of freezes.
