Is anyone else experiencing a delay or stuttering when firing full auto or even when using vehicles' weapons?It's like an unintentional tap-fire almost, it seems to be random and very annoying. It's only started happening since the Season 2 update, it has already cost me a fair share of one-on-one gunfights and it's just disconcerting in general.I'm on PC, and NO my mouse isn't the problem, it's only happening in BF2042 since Season 2 dropped.

@Ironhead841It’s also random, I get that stuttering too. Every three to four rounds is a little pause. The recoil doesn’t act like it though, so it’s not what could be a useful burst fire. The recoil is as if you were spraying and praying. Very frustrating. I have both a G13 and a keyboard, and randomly R doesn’t reload, E doesn’t ingress / egress vehicles, etc. It could be all bad input as for me I can hit R on my G13 or keyboard and it’s still takes three to four presses (spamming it basically).

@tom_looken I wasn't referring to that particular bug but that is weird too.What I am describing is a stutter in the rate of fire for full-auto machine guns on foot and in vehicles, like I said it's almost like you're tap firing randomly even though you're just holding down the mouse button. It can happen when you first start firing or part way through a burst, it's very random. But it has cost me a fair share of gunfights since the Season 2 update. @Straatford87 @EA_Leeuw a little help?

Nothing new on PS5, has been frequently happening there since release.I guess they ported some code from PS5 to PC lol.

@EA_Leeuw wanna weigh in on this? It's pretty damn aggravating and needs addressed.

Yes, since Season 2. I mostly play the SCAR-H now and this weapon has the problem almost ALL the time. Very annoying.
I am on PC as well.

@ATFGunr I have the similar reload issues, but sometimes it just doesn't play the reload animation, which can be a looooong time, while reloading a LMG. The E usually enters / leaves a vehicle, but if you "press the key too long" it enters / leaves the vehicle again. This is most noticeable in a vehicle where you try to leave the commander/spotter seat, and end up in the weapon pod spot, for example.

@Ironhead841 I like to think that if they could have fixed it, they would. This issue, mouse input, so many problems but at least we got a 1.58gb hot fix to add the M95 to portal. That fixes the whole game!

Since it seems like it got introduced with the season 2 update, I wouldn't think it would be that hard to root out the cause and quickly fix it!
