Re: PSA: Mouse Input is broken in this game (looks similar to bad frame timing)
The bug: When looking around the screen by moving the mouse, everything apart from my character's arms and weapon judders/stutters visually. It makes the game unplayable with the mouse.
However, if I connect a controller, the problem is not present.
This is not a user's pc performance issue because it happens at even the lowest in-game graphics settings.
Workaround: Disabling gsync and enabling frame generation to maintain 240FPS to match my 240Hz monitor, makes the problem go away, but this cannot be considered a fix. It is merely a workaround, which introduces extra latency from enabling frame generation.
My hardware: I am running: MSI 240Hz OLED 3440x1440p monitor, Nvidia 5090, AMD 9800X3D, 64GB 6000MT/s RAM, NVME PCIE Gen 4 SSD.
I play many other FPS games including Battlefield 4, The Finals, Arma Reforger, Escape from Tarkov, and others, and none of these other titles exhibit this behaviour.
I default to using the following settings for all those other games and receive a smooth mouse-look experience with variable framerates:
Nvidia Control Panel: Gsync = on, vsync = on
In-game: vsync = off, Nvidia Reflex = on, Frame Generation = off
The settings I must use to receive a smooth mouse-look experience from Battlefield 6 are:
Nvidia Control Panel: gsync off, vsync on, DLSS Overrides = all on with "Latest" presets, Preferred Refresh Rate = Highest Available, shader cache = unlimited,
In-game: vsync off (it's already on in NVCP), DLSS upscaling = Quality, DLSS Frame Gen = x2. Graphics settings = maximum everything.
There are a lot of other users experiencing this issue since the open beta. Here are some more posts:
