  Use constrain instead of change attributes.

  Try interpolate:
  
  Rule (Any): If touch is inside or touch is outside
  Interpolate: self.Position.X To game.Mouse.Position.X (change duration for speed)
  Interpolate: self.Position.Y To game.Mouse.Position.Y (change duration for speed)

  You'll find that with Interpolate it's the duration it takes to get from point A to B, and not the speed, so small movements will take the same amount of time as long movements, but it will travel faster for longer movements as it's got more ground to cover in the selected duration. You could get fancy and calculate the distance and adjust the duration accordingly but you may find it fine as is.
  
  If you can get "Move To" working that might be a better option as that uses speed.

  @ecanhoj, I've re-attached your file so it works now. I just added the Constraints like Kevin mentions. It does not crash on my machine.

  You have to keep in mind that with "Move To", or "Interpolate" you can no longer drag the actor. Constrain is the best way to drag the actor. It drags reasonably smooth without any major jumps.
