Re: Since S21 launch mouse movement makes game unplayable

Using a controller illustrates that this is a problem with whatever changes Respawn have made to mouse input, either in terms of optimisation or to track inputs. In the video below you can see how controller works normally, but as soon as I switch to mouse everything grinds to a halt. (go easy, i've never played Apex with a controller so this is not exactly peak performance, it's just a demonstration)

Would really appreciate some reassurance that this is being figured out, as there's nothing on the Trello board. My game was fine last season and now it's unplayable (on MnK). For the record I'm not planning on playing on controller, and will move to something else if this isn't resolved (but please fix it!)

    Having this exact same issue! Like with you, controller fixed the issue for me. However I cannot tolerate using a controller so it's back to the drawing board...

    Here's a summary list of the rest of the attempts at a fix I tried, just to hopefully narrow down the scope of things so that whoever happens to have the same issue doesn't have their time wasted.

    - changed mouse port
    - changed logitech gaming software mouse illumination settings (G502 mouse, changing this fixed this issue for some people in the past. It didn't work for me.)
    - got a brand new mouse, different brand, also didn't work
    - restart
    - reinstall
    - close all other applications
    - fresh install and play using a different drive
    - update all drivers known to man and god

    - reset graphics driver
    - update windows

    - changed servers
    - changed mouse polling rate (apparently fixed it for some people? not me though)
    - different networks (4 of them)
    - cooler environment (confirmed it was not an additional overheating issue)
    - removal of additional display
    - steam settings modification (launch codes)
    - changing the fps of the display using nvidea controlpanel

    - nerfed antivirus

    - modified a ton of ingame settings (did nothing):
    * vsync changes
    * nvidia reflex off/on
    * all graphics settings to as low as possible

    They did this on purpose only for mnk players.

    It’s pathetic.

    The frustration they are creating with all the changes they’ve implemented is unbelievable.
