Summarize your bug Load into a server, try to move my mouse, mouse input is laggy and feels floaty.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Who knows, plug a mouse in and see if it happens. Logitech G305 is the mouse I use.
What happens when the bug occurs? The mouse input doesnt act as it should, move mouse left, after 500ms the mouse will actually float left.
What should be happening instead? The mouse should be moving my reticle / view at the speed im moving my hand and not floating.

Here is a video of my hand & and the ingame input floating.

  • So funnily enough, I was getting another issue this morning when trying to launch the game where it would just stick on a small black box screen.

    Fix: Delete settings folder in ~/Documents/BF2042/

    I was then able to join a game after re-doing all my settings, and I didnt experience the floaty mouse issue as shown in the video.

    Will keep playing to confirm it fixed the issue. (for now)

  • I recently bought the game on steam when it went on sale for 20$. I'm having the same issue as OP was, but none of the fixes from the thread have worked.

    Same here, it's unplayable.

    I had it also before that during one round I had 2 lags in a row and one took approx. 15 seconds.

    It does not have anything with Nvidia, it's game related feature.

    @EA_Illium Using a Logitech G502 Lightspeed mouse the mouse sporadically is locking up at the most inopportune moments. Most often seems to be when trying to look, turn or aim to left. DPI is a lowest setting.

    To be fair to @h3x1e their post was from October 2022 !! (not regarding the current 2023 problem )

  • @Tygvrs Negative, Rolling back the driver did not fix my issue, this problem didn't happen day one, was an issue all day on day two. Deleting settings folder did not fix either.

    I didn't catch that. The thread was right near the top of the recent posts and it was applicable so I assumed it was October this year. Sorry @h3x1e  🤭
