It seems that in game my input is more "sticky" or laggy. What i mean by this is sometimes i type and the button keeps being pressed down, even when I'm not pressing it anymore (resulting iiiiiinn typpppppppeeee liiiike thhhhiis), or sometimes it doesnt register at all. It's mildly annoying when typing but deadly when rotating the camera. Anyway I haven't noticed it when playing in the older 1.5.1 builds (and it happens in full screen and windowed mode). Also this only happens in game, or on hosts. I'm fine in the lobby.

sounds like a direct result of the changes made to input code in the windowed version, I vote for changing it back the way we had it as that seemed to please the majority.

I'm sorry (and also very surprised) to hear that the new input code isn't performing properly on your machine.

Unfortunately there were some issues with the DirectInput code in windowed mode and since I'm not familiar with DirectInput I thought it would be easiest to convert the whole system to the standard windows input system, which BTW, lots of games use.

Unfortunately, at this point I'm not really ready to undertake an investigation of why the input is laggy on one person's machine or how to fix it. (by adding a directinput option or otherwise.) Hopefully we can get this issue resolved by the next official release.

I had this problem before (with 1.4.x I think).
I found it was because of some softwares like Stardock's Objectbar.
But I dont have any pb anymore with official 1.5.1 nor with the windowed version...

sometimes when I play and click on a window outside of myth, when I come back the camera will move by itself and that is really annoying, especially in the middle of a MWC match
