    Title says it, the game lags enormously when I move my mouse. I am able to get to literally zero frames per second (graphics will freeze completely while moving my mouse) if I move my mouse in a continuous circle.

    -I've used my mouse with this game several times before now and it has worked fine until today
    -Game does not lag if my mouse is still or moving very slowly
    -Game seems to not lag while I have the quit confirmation dialog in an AI skirmish
    -Moving my polling rate all the way down to 125 rps has not helped
    -EDIT: I am using a Logitech G502 mouse.

    Anybody know how to fix this? Help would be much appreciated, thanks.

    EDIT: Thanks dom314, updating my drivers solved the problem nicely. Thanks for the quick responses everyone :)

    Not that I am an expert, but telling us which mouse you have might help :)

    Had exactly this issue before I updated my amd graphics card drivers. Give that a go.

    You may need to reduce the polling rate of your mouse. Somewhere in the recent build, the game has become very sensitive to it. Where to do that depends on which mouse you have. It should be somewhere in the settings. I thought it was only for using the middle mouse button for moving around the planet, but you might as well try and see if it helps for you as well.

    Thanks, and good idea. Don't know why I didn't think of that. I'll do that and come back if it works or doesn't.

    I'm having the same problem, and I tried Beta drivers and regular drivers (newest). Also tried a complete remove of the driver, after which I did a clean install.

    Halp, it's getting pretty annoying as something such as moving units around kills my FPS.
    If I don't move my mouse, I get a steady 60-90FPS..

    Can you post a DxDiag.txt? You can make one by pressing <WinKey>+R, typing "dxdiag" and pressing "Save All Information...". Upload the resulting file here using the "Upload a File" button on this forum.

    Edit: I just noticed you posted that already elsewhere. Can you also check the following list of software known to interfere with PA?
