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.
tagging EA_Leeuw on this issue, again. I did this during the betas as well.
