Gameplay is negatively impacted by long-standing issues, such as the lack of a feature to lock the mouse on the primary monitor, which has been pending for six years without an estimated resolution. Additionally, some games do not support high refresh rates, leading players to lower their monitor settings to 60Hz for a smoother experience.
“Other games don't support high refresh rate, so I set my monitors to 60Hz to get smoother gameplay.”
“Apparently this feature has been on the to-do list for six years, and it doesn't even have an ETA yet.”
“Very detrimental to gameplay when playing games that are real-time.”
