I’m creating a touchscreen game with blueprint actors that the player can move around the screen. The actor always lags a bit behind the cursor and touch, and I can’t figure out why. Shouldn’t the set actor location on tick be immediate? It’s ok if they’re moved slowly, but this is going to be a game for kids to play on a large touchscreen, and the lag may cause confusion.
