Fix the mouse input
I just went to play BFV for the first time in monts and the difference is night and day Is it really impossible to port the code use for BFV? I have never seen a AAA title where the mouse input is ...

Even worse!
Handling mouse input is integral part of the ENGINE itself, so its not really BF2042 that suffers from that, but basically ALL titles they plan to release that are based on the current version of Frostbite. Not all games require precise mouse input of course, like a racing game. But if they ever plan to release a new title and they cannot make the mouse input work it will be another thing that would definitely prevent many PC players from buying the game.
Next to many core features that would have to be in from the start, like a server browser, a score board or squad management features -- or NOT in, like specialists -- of course.

I mean surely if the engine was maintained by competent people they should be able to just scrap the changes made to how they handle mouse input and bring back the old code
There must be something that made reverting back impossible because otherwise I just can't understand why they wouldn't do it
It's my understanding from Julian, the software engineer who coded the controls. That the Frostbite team probably changed something while upgrading the Frostbite engine and that's why controller settings such as aim assist, stick deadzone, and acceleration leak over into the mouse settings.
He said at one time the 'code paths' for controller and mouse used to be separate, but he's not sure anymore because he works at Ripple Effect now and has no insight into what changes the Frostbite team have made during engine upgrades.
- @OskooI_007 This makes sense i have watched in the past dev video dairies from bioware on dragon age 4 then the madden/anthem/nfs videos were the had to hack the engine do to issues like this.
Its like using a 14?year old engine is a bad idea
In the bioware video they tried ot make the game know what sword/arrows are but had to make bullets arrows and spells rockets in the code. Bf3 knife was the sword as the engine knew.
So the new engine not knowing one form the other then just merging seems on par.
On this forum and reddit few months back were images from console users were they removed controller inputs it was from trying to "fix" this remember that. - @tom_looken Do you think the controller input settings could have an effect on the mouse settings? I have not adjusted any of the controller settings as I don’t use one, I’m going to go in later and tweak the controller settings and see if anything happens to the mouse input.
- @ATFGunr Yes i have used both in this game and found that this is a thing for both inputs.
Its a war inside the larger war in 2042 In order for them to fix it, they would first have to understand the way in which it is broken. It's not clear that anyone in the position to solve the issue even understands the problem exists. They haven't even mentioned it, other than community moderators saying "looking into it". In my experience that has been CM speak for "don't expect anything".
It can't take 10 months for a company which is completely focused on a single game to fix mouse input on first person shooter. Statement made by the DICE GM in June "We’re completely focused on Battlefield 2042. The majority of the team here, plus our colleagues over at Ripple Effect, are focused on Battlefield 2042."
Either:
1. The right people don't even know or acknowledge that mouse input is not functioning properly.
-or-
2. They know its a problem and have no plans to fix it.
