SOLVED: Apex lags when I move my mouse

Question

Apex legends has been lagging whenever I move the mouse. Even during screens where I am not in-game (The beginning screen background images, the lobby, and loading screens) lag as well. I have been getting prediction and packet loss errors when I move my mouse, but my internet can't be the issue as Titanfall 2 runs smooth as butter even while I am watching a Livestream of someone PLAYING APEX. One of the worst parts is that I can move perfectly fine in apex as long as I don't touch my mouse. I have tried everything to stop this, I have tried decreasing my polling rate on my mouse from 1000 to 500 to 250 to 100, I have tried turning off mouse acceleration on both windows and apex, I have tried setting max fps to 60 in launch options and apex, I have tried turning my graphics settings to the highest and the lowest and I can walk perfectly fine in both settings as long as I don't move my mouse, I have tried changing mine data center from Iowa to New York because there are no Canadian servers and that didn't work, I have tried setting apex to high performance in windows and that also didn't work. To end this post, Apex is the first game where I couldn't find a way to play it. I have played doom eternal, cyberpunk, Fortnite, FarCry 5, and even apex during season 1 on this computer, but apex just won't work here for some reason. The only things I can hope for is that I can get a piece of advice that miraculously fixes apex, or apex will get an update that will all of a sudden fix my issue and allow me to play apex, I guess the only thing I can do now is play other games.

Edit 1: Alright so I found a weird fix. By setting my sensitivity to 15 in-game and my dpi to 400, I am now able to play the game smoothly with no hiccups. Honestly, this is one of the dumbest fixes I have ever had to put on a game.

i have this issue,&nbsp; Apex is literally unplayable, i did all of your recommendations and nothing is working.It worked perfect for half a game on the new update and then the graphics shifted to the absolute worst settings mid game without me even touching the settings. and then whenever i moved the mouse the game lagged heavily, i cant even look around the map and why the graphics look disgusting is beyond me because i have a newly puurchased $8000 computer and gaming monitor. this game is honestly loosing me day by day

Some games might have issues supporting a high polling rate of a mouse.Try lowering the polling rate, this might resolve the issue.
