Disabling visual themes and desktop composition really helped for me. Between that and the mouse fix, this game feels better than ever. It's really fun to play again. I just hope these incidents didn't ruin other people's experiences with the game.
The mouse accel and input row trick fix the input lag, but it remove the mouse accel, obvioulsy...
I want my mouse accel without input lag back ! Hope that will be fixed in next build.
disabling visual themes and desktop composition were a big improvement... but it still doesn't feel like raw input is on, feels like it's off (equivalent to playing a source engine game with raw input being off)
So is the game just not running properly fullscreen.. or did the patch change something with input? (which i hope can be fixed)
also this stopped the microstutter, game is kind of smooth now (dx9 still)
You should not be experiencing any input lag now, as all the actual fixes are in the game. If you still are, it might be due to a driver issue of some kind, or your input poll rate is too high.
Comments
1. DX9 = least input delay, highest FPS
2. OpenGL = slight input delay maybe? (hard to tell). Low FPS.
3. DX11 = high input delay, lowest FPS

Will try disabling Aero and desktop composition tonight, sounds promising!
I did everything describes, even the click raw on/off, accel on/off..
Waiting for the next patch to give me back the performance i had pre-Reinforcement.
Wow, does this mean that the Spark Engine is based on the SDL library?! Sorry for the off-topic question, but I find it very interesting

Facts mate, no opinions! :P

I still recommend reverting to Win7 anyway though.
Because the input lag I'm experiencing has not been affected at all by any of those fixes.

Unpack. Go to Folder 'Windows accel fix and USB rate"
Go into "USBHz_Win7_lk" folder
run "mouserate.exe" - see what your polling rate is by moving your mouse around a lot.
If it is over 500, then this might be too high and you might want to lower your rate.
If the rate is really low like 125Hz, you could try upping your polling rate.
Follow "Readme.txt"'s instructions in that folder and see how you get on.
