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 this bad

- @InS_Hypno thanks for tilting at this windmill for all of us. Just a note for those who may not know it, ensure your “enhance pointer precision”, otherwise known as mouse acceleration, is turned off in your PC. It’s not a game setting, it’s in Windows. Otherwise, yes Dice fix the mouse input. You sorted out console aim assist and we’re still waiting for a simple concept to be achieved, mouse input.

I get the feeling that the mouse input hasn't been fixed because PC players don't actually cry as much as controller players.
For months there was huge threads complaining about the aim assist not working, we just don't get the same about the mouse input and it used to be almost unplayable
- @InS_Hypno I had it disabled, installed a new TB M2 drive and a clean Win install, and forgot to turn it back off lol. Oops.

Hello
This is your daily reminder that the mouse input is trash @Straatford87

Will this become the new 'Server Browser' thread, once we have the official answer on that one now?
But yes, I agree that it would be nice to have a working mouse for this game. So infuriating to die to console players when you could at least try to be as precise as aim assist and fail just because you can't aim properly.
The sad thing is, they nailed that in BF5 and before and when going back to older titles you immediately notice how a working mouse 'feels' like. Yeah it's crazy how they were able to nail mouse input for 4 games in a row but now the technology has apparently been lost
God I can't imagine how bad the code must be for them to not be able to just use the code from BFV
Really goes to show how bad DICE has fallen as a studio

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.

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.
