The attack button won't react correctly when I'm pushing it. I can stand there with my knife and press the attack button 100 times, but attack only 80 times. Sometimes I suddenly throw a knife, as if the game thought I was holding down the attack button. This happens when I bind the attack function to a mouse button or to a button on the keyboard. It's an input problem.

Same here.
Very bad first impression. Bad performance. Input problems. Gamma is either too bright or too dark. Boring music. Flat level design. Cheap sound effects.

Yeah I really like the style of the game, but these issues are a major letdown for sure! The game is a technical mess.

+1 on input issues :(

I'm having the same issue as well. Hope you get it fixed soon, 'cause this game looks awesome and I can't wait to play it properly!

From What I figure, I think that this is simply a feature of the game for the knife attack. It confused me too.
If you do short click when you have the knife, there will be short attacks, if you hold and release the button you throw knife. That's how the knife works. There also seems to be a delay in some weapons, as an RPG element, for example the axe. If you hit constantly, it seems to not react, but that's how it works in the gameplay I think.

When I clicked on this thread, I was thinking of something else. There seems to be a general delay in framerate, which at first I thought it was slow performance, but since I reduced resolution and every extra disabled, it didn't fix the issue (I have a GTX1080 here). Now I think it's lag between the input and visuals update, It's like my mouselook especially is jumpy in a bad way. Something is off with the input, some lag or something. This creates a not smooth movement, that feels bad overall. I don't know if anyone else got this.

No, I have covered this in the OP. I know that when you hold down the attack button for a while, you'll throw a knife when you release it. This is not what I am talking about. If I press the attack button 2 times per second, and do this for a minute or so, there will inevitably come a moment (or more) where I don't stab and nothing seems to happen, after which I suddenly throw a knife as if the game thought I was holding down the attack button.

I also know that the axe has cooldown, which is easy to predict and can be timed because you'll hear a voice sample when the cooldown is over. I am not confused by the two at all. What I'm talking about is 100% some sort of input issue.
