Controller on PC fluctates when the FPS is uncapped

found a bug

I play originally the game on ps4. so when i swapped to pc i did bring my ps4 controller. but the sensitivity is super low even on highest setting. i have been troubleshooting this all day and found out that if i cap my screen to 144 the game do the same, and then the controller sensitivty is normal like consoles. but if i want to have uncaped, and select 240hz in my nvidia settings, the controller sensitivity fluctates and is not working again. like before. is there a fix to this. i wanna play with uncapped and still use a controller.

Hi @Skillgjii,

Are you currently running any sort of third party software for your DualShock 4? If so, can you try disabling that and repairing Apex Legends in Origin? Start the game back up and leave the third party software disabled Apex Legends should automatically work with your DualShock 4.

Let me know if you're still running into the same issues with your sensitivity afterward.

Hmm, gotcha. Do you happen to have any other controllers that you could try using to test and see if the same thing still happens? I'm curious to see if you would still run into that same issue with any other controller as well.

@EA_Kent found out that if I cap the fps at 180 or lower its working. everything above 180 and the sensitivity on the right stick is broken. (to low)
seen i have tested on 3 computers, friends and my laptop. same problem. and read about it on forums.

Thanks for following up on this. I appreciate the additional details!

Out of curiosity, have you tested this with a mouse and keyboard as well? Have you seen any weird mouse behavior with the frame rate uncapped?
