Mouse Smoothing Bug

During gameplay my ADS (aim down sights) mouse input progressively feels heavier and more delayed the longer I play. My hipfire feels completely fine throughout. The issue builds over time within a session and is noticeable across all scopes (1x, 2x, 3x).

Strangely I found a temporary fix — if I go into settings and change my hipfire sensitivity from 5 to 0.6 and then back to 5, my ADS immediately feels responsive again for a brief period before the degradation returns.

Sensitivity settings:

  • Hipfire: 5
  • 1x: 5
  • 2x: 6
  • 3x: 7

What I've ruled out:

  • Hardware (clean tested, mouse swapped, same issue)
  • Windows (clean reinstall, all drivers correct)
  • Network (ping/loss/choke all clean during episodes)
  • Mouse software (no background software running)

This appears to be an internal input accumulator issue in the game engine that resets when sensitivity values are changed. Changing hipfire sensitivity forces a recalculation that temporarily fixes ADS input.
