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 ...

No disrespect to @Echo6Echo, but changing settings does nothing. I guess it's a problem in the engine itself in how it's processing the input it receives from the mouse, so there's nothing we can do on our side.
It's just sad that DICE seems to be avoiding commenting on this and haven't properly acknowledged the issue, even though they are fully aware it exists.
They either don't know how to fix it or are not willing to. I'd love to be wrong about this.

I didn't say this was going to fix the "I get killed in one shot" or netcode issues. Mouse movement is what we're talking about. To me it's much smoother. Please make sure you are very meticulous to get ALL setting exactly the same in both "mouse & KB" and "Controller". It's SUPER IMPORTANT that they match exactly. I noticed that one being even a little different throws things off. Also, your FoV MUST MATCH your resolution settings or it gets wonky. I know you want to run max FoV, me too, but with this title, it's not working with M&K. Also, remember that this is VERTICAL FOV and not HORIZONTAL. (so use the vertical number in this FOV Calc )
Hopefully, this will work somewhat to smooth mouse for you.
- @Echo6Echo I'm not saying anything about netcode in my response, not sure where you got that from. The issue is the mouse input and how wonky it feels to aim with it in this game.
I tried the settings you mentioned and I didn't notice a difference in how the mouse feels. It's still very apparent that it's bugged when you go back and forth to a different game with proper mouse input, like BFV or pretty much any other FPS game.

It made a world of "MOUSE MOVEMENT" difference to me. I thought "netcode" because you mentioned the server not recognizing input. What you see on your screen is local so your mouse movement is handled on your PC. Your mouse lining up with the other player, also your PC. You getting the win in the gunfight, being killed behind cover, etc. is server side. My apologies for the confusion. I still get killed instantly and splatter blood with no effect and lose gunfights but my mouse no longer stops moving when I'm in that gunfight like it used to. Sorry that's not working for you.
EDIT: oh and I agree, the movement is MUCH better on other games.
- @Echo6Echo I didn't say "server", I said "engine", that is what runs on the client side (Frostbite).
There's rumors that what causes the issue is that the engine is always so "busy" with everything going on in a match that it causes it to "miss" some input signals from the mouse, causing you to overcompensate your aim and the feeling of sluggish mouse movement. That's definitely plausible.
I have a theory that what also could be causing the issue is the heavy implementations of anti-cheat and anti-tamper protections this game has. This game pretty much has no cheaters, which is a very good thing, but it's possible all these layers of protections could be causing issues with how the input is processed. This games uses Denuvo Anti-Tamper and Easy Anti-Cheat on top of that, which together they make the game run in a virtual machine with obfuscated code, all that to protect the game from cheaters. DICE went heavy with these measures in 2042 because of crossplay. This would also explain why they avoid commenting on it.
But then again, this is all speculation! Only DICE knows what causes the issue, or at least I hope they do and fix it once and for all.
