PSA: Mouse Input is broken in this game (looks similar to bad frame timing)

Making the game look choppy even though I’m getting 215 FPS. It makes the game look like it’s running at 40 FPS. I think it might have something to do with mouse DPI or something it’s really strange these problems even exist in some other Battlefield games like Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V, but not in games like Battlefield 2042 or Star Wars Battlefront II. I really hope this gets fixed because it’s not enjoyable right now. Hopefully, it’s just the shooting range causing it, since I still haven’t been able to play the full game yet everyone probably knows about the issue where the game says it’s not owned or installed. And before you say you don’t have these issues, do you have a G-Sync monitor with VRR? I have V-Sync enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel as well. I’ve tried all kinds of settings on, off, and different combinations—but I’m not getting anywhere. If it doesn’t happen in other games on the same engine, I really don’t know what the problem is.

I've been having this same issue since the closed beta. I even bought a second keyboard to see if it was the goofy goober razer software that was doing the tomfoolery with the game. I'm quite close to tearing my hair out, I really wanted to enjoy this game with friends I haven't hung out with in a long while. Very frustrated and I really wish this would get fixed before the games release. This was an issue in bf2042 earlier in 2025, but at some point the issue was fixed (or at the very least mitigated to a point of barely noticing) 

Must be a recent fix then. Because when I played grinding for the free battle pass for bf6 I didn't have a problem with the frame pacing i just hope they're aware of the issue 

Sorry, yeah the one in 2042 was fixed a while ago, like March this year maybe? But that kinda shows me that they know it's a problem and can fix it. 

EA_Leeuw give some info please lol

Battlefield 6 mouse aiming feels incredibly choppy but feels perfectly smooth with a controller. No combination of settings were able to fix this for me. For reference this is a minor issue in Battlefield 1 for me, it’s not as bad. And mouse and controller aim feels perfect in Battlefield 4, Doom Eternal, The Finals, and Cyberpunk 2077. My PC - RTX 5090, 9800X3D, 240hz LG OLED 1440p, Logitech G502X mouse at 1000 polling rate. I’ve seen a handful of people mention this from the beta which I also played, but it seems worse at launch

Edit after more testing:

NVCP gsync on and vsync on with an in game cap of 120 and frame gen 2x makes the mouse jutter much better but not 100% gone. Also just used to gaming above 200 fps so 120 looks worse to my eyes 

NVCP gsync off and vsync on with no in game fps cap, and vsync on in game has me at a constant 240fps with frame gen 2x. This is how I’m playing at the moment but the mouse jutter is still there. It’s definitely better than the gsynced 225 fps.

+1 on this issue, let's get EA to acknowledge it.

+1 on this issue, needs attention. It's a dealbreaker for me that they didn't fix it but I also do not want to refund...

I agree. I feel it'll be fixed, considering it was a recent fix in battlefield 2042 

Are you playing on Mouse?

If so, that's the cause. 

Mouse input is broken, which ruins an otherwise well optimised game.

For reference, I easily average over 100fps even on the bigger maps, but panning the camera with mouse input makes the game feel like it's running at 15fps despite no drops.

In-game reporting confirms it's running perfectly, as CPU/GPU are always rendering within 10fps of eachother.

Connect a controller though? Buttery smooth camera panning, and easy to track enemies. No hitches or stutters, just butter.

I've tried:
- All polling rates, from 125hz up to 4000hz
- Toggling raw input on/off
- Enabling/disabling Nvidia reflex
- Changing USB ports, changing to different mice, wired/wireless
- USB power saving etc all turned off
- I even tried a driver/Nvidia CP restore, but as controller is super smooth, this was a long shot in the first place

Unfortunately the game is unplayable using a mouse on PC due to this. It's next to impossible to track targets, and you quickly get a headache from the micro stuttering when panning. The effect is very similar to Helldivers 2 on PC, when you turn off 'Mouse Smoothing', as that game has serious issues with raw mouse input.

Happy to hear suggestions on how to fix this.

Mice tried:
- Keychron M4
- Logitech G305
- Logitech G604
- Razer Naga Hyperspeed
- AttackShark M1

I've also tried on an entirely different PC, same results. OLED as always exhacerbates the issue too, due to the awesome pixel response times. I fear many won't see it due to slower LCDs.

Specs are:
5700x3d
3060ti 8GB
32GB DDR4 3600 CL16
AW3423DW (Gsync module version)

This is on a fresh Windows install, up to date drivers (tried DDU as well to be sure), but honestly since it's running beautifully with a controller, this looks to be purely a mouse input issue.

No other games exhibit this issue other than... Helldivers 2, and Battlefield V. BF1 is butter on mouse, as are BF3 and BF4. Helldivers 2 can be fixed by turning on mouse smoothing in game.

I almost bought a GPU upgrade before testing the Xbox controller, saved myself £600.
