Coming back after a long break and trying to catch up. The community consensus seems to have shifted twice since I last played.

If someone has a link to a proper explanation, I will take it.

Only partly related, but do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

Slightly different take — it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

Only partly related, but check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.
