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

Mouse input is broken, which ruins an otherwise well optimised game. This looks to be getting confused with poor frame timing in a lot of threads, but controller input is unaffected. For reference...

Hi everyone,

We’re trying to gather more information about the situation here, where mouse look might feel less smooth than expected, even when the game’s framerate seems fine.

Some players have mentioned that:

Mouse look feels less smooth than movement with WASD
Mouse look feels less smooth than looking around with a controller
Overall, mouse movement feels choppier than your FPS would suggest

If this sounds familiar, it would be very helpful if you could share a few details about your setup:

Please include the following if possible:

PC Specs: CPU / GPU / RAM / Storage type (SSD/HDD)
Monitor: Resolution & refresh rate
Keyboard: Model, any related software installed, polling rate, and whether it has any mode-switching features
Mouse: Model, any related software installed, polling rate, and if it has any mode-switching features
Controllers: Any gamepads or similar devices connected
Other USB Devices: Anything else plugged in that might affect inputs (USB hubs, stream decks, headsets with drivers, etc.)

Thanks in advance. This kind of detail really helps us narrow down what might be going on.

On a side note, I noticed that almost all reported configs run AMD processors with 3D V-Cache paired with Nvidia RTX GPUs. Also, there are a lot of OLEDs. Suffering from success ? 🤪

That's not true. There are a lot of Intel CPUs in this thread, including myself. OLEDs have excellent motion clarity, hence amplifying the stutters visually. I bet a lot of people with TN / IPS panels (and/or motion blur enabled) don't even notice the stutters because of the blur.
