@InS_Hypnothanks for tilting at this windmill for all of us. Just a note for those who may not know it, ensure your “enhance pointer precision”, otherwise known as mouse acceleration, is turned off in your PC. It’s not a game setting, it’s in Windows. Otherwise, yes Dice fix the mouse input. You sorted out console aim assist and we’re still waiting for a simple concept to be achieved, mouse input.

I always had that disabled

I get the feeling that the mouse input hasn't been fixed because PC players don't actually cry as much as controller players. 

For months there was huge threads complaining about the aim assist not working, we just don't get the same about the mouse input and it used to be almost unplayable

A good tip. something everyone should check just to make sure it's definitely off. 👍

Hello

This is your daily reminder that the mouse input is trash @Straatford87

Yeah it's crazy how they were able to nail mouse input for 4 games in a row but now the technology has apparently been lost

God I can't imagine how bad the code must be for them to not be able to just use the code from BFV

Really goes to show how bad DICE has fallen as a studio

Even worse!

Handling mouse input is integral part of the ENGINE itself, so its not really BF2042 that suffers from that, but basically ALL titles they plan to release that are based on the current version of Frostbite. Not all games require precise mouse input of course, like a racing game. But if they ever plan to release a new title and they cannot make the mouse input work it will be another thing that would definitely prevent many PC players from buying the game.
Next to many core features that would have to be in from the start, like a server browser, a score board or squad management features -- or NOT in, like specialists -- of course.

I mean surely if the engine was maintained by competent people they should be able to just scrap the changes made to how they handle mouse input and bring back the old code

There must be something that made reverting back impossible because otherwise I just can't understand why they wouldn't do it

It's my understanding from Julian, the software engineer who coded the controls. That the Frostbite team probably changed something while upgrading the Frostbite engine and that's why controller settings such as aim assist, stick deadzone, and acceleration leak over into the mouse settings.

He said at one time the 'code paths' for controller and mouse used to be separate, but he's not sure anymore because he works at Ripple Effect now and has no insight into what changes the Frostbite team have made during engine upgrades.

In order for them to fix it, they would first have to understand the way in which it is broken. It's not clear that anyone in the position to solve the issue even understands the problem exists. They haven't even mentioned it, other than community moderators saying "looking into it". In my experience that has been CM speak for "don't expect anything".

It can't take 10 months for a company which is completely focused on a single game to fix mouse input on first person shooter. Statement made by the DICE GM in June "We’re completely focused on Battlefield 2042. The majority of the team here, plus our colleagues over at Ripple Effect, are focused on Battlefield 2042."

Either:

1. The right people don't even know or acknowledge that mouse input is not functioning properly.

-or-

2. They know its a problem and have no plans to fix it.

Turning raw mouse input off turns also the horizontal input off completely at least for me.

It actually feels worse than ever with every mouse I own.I tried c4 on a tank last night and it wouldn’t even do anything lol 

How is it, that this is not fixed this late after release?!

I think the delay input may be actually WORSE since the season 2 update, and now it has introduced this weird stuttering when firing full-auto as well.
