I had a very annoying problem with SDV and I stumbled onto a fix that I did not find with google/ai searching. so I thought I'd post it here, maybe it'll help someone else (or maybe future me a couple years down the road)
problem I had was microstutters, where most posts say to disable cpu0. that did improve things, but still not remove it completely.
2nd problem, far more serious, the game would randomly create systemwide input lag after a few minutes. when moving/clicking the mouse or hitting any key on my keyboard would take 1-2 seconds to respond and it would persist after shutting down the game and only way to fix it was to reboot.
fix: disable optimizations for windowed games. for win11, go to settings>system>display>graphics. in there search for stardew valley, open the dropdown menu and set "optimizations for windowed games" to off. fixed both problems.
