Bungie Flags Marathon PC Mouse Bug, Advises Turning Off Overlays

Bungie cites conflicts with software overlays, promising a permanent fix.

Overview

  • Players in the Server Slam report stuttering cursors, phantom clicks, and unreliable menu inputs on PC.
  • Bungie’s guidance recommends streaming the full screen rather than the game window and disabling Steam or Discord overlays.
  • Several users, including a PC Gamer writer, found that fully quitting Discord resolved the stutter when other steps did not.
  • Reporting also implicates background capture and monitoring tools such as NVIDIA Share, AMD ReLive, Medal.tv, MSI Afterburner, and RivaTuner.
  • A permanent fix is in development ahead of the March 5 launch, with issues concentrated on PC and consoles largely unaffected.
