Hey @monofurioso I take it that you are after encountering the first boss monster in the game.
What you need to do to focus is move the mouse till the beam of light is hitting the monster. I found that raising the mouse sensitivity made this a little easier to do.

Hello @emett81
Hmmm, changing the sensitivity of the mouse should've worked ☹️.
I've tried 3 different ones in case it was hardware/company related, however I haven't had a problem with the Focus :3. It went smoothly.
What type of mouse do you have and what way did you use to change the DPI? This will help me understand the steps you've taken and see what I can do to help you further :D. Any chance I can get more info regarding how it behaves when you move the mouse to the left/right side?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
I do not work for EA. I am just a player helping other players.
I think it is negative mouse acceleration. If I whip the mouse around, the camera pretty much stays put. If I move it slowly, the camera follows. Since I consider this a bug, I am waiting and hoping for a patch. To be honest, I will rather play on keyboard only, than spend the whole game fighting the camera...
I am unsure whether you've tried it yet or not, though the game has an option to set Mouse camera On/Off :D
You will be able to control the camera through the arrows only. And during the Focus scenes, arrows can be used too, only by turning off that setting.
I've attached a screenshot of the setting.
The path is: Settings > Controls > Mouse Look, which should be set to Off in order to use arrows for controlling the Focus.
Hope this helps ^_^!
Thank you for the input - I have tried it. But it obviously is just an option to disable the "broken" mouse controls, and revert to the most basic input method. I would actually prefer it, but only because it improves the experience from "painful" to "arduous"...
@RentAProbe I see, and I am sorry to hear you feel this way about that option. In my opinion, I found it pretty useful in case I want to chill playing on my keyboard only, or if I wanna sit straight using the mouse too.
I am actually glad the devs thought of giving the players a choice they can make and we're not limited. Honestly, not many games allow players to configure much on this side. Most of them are "Ok, Mouse/Keyboard players - you guys use both or only one by default at our choice. Controller players - you have only those to use". Instead of just forcing both mouse/keyboard for the gameplay on PC, they actually thought someone might like to use only the keyboard, for example. Shouldn't we appreciate such thoughts?
I haven't encountered any issue while playing with my mouse, neither when trying 2 others, neither did my friends which own the game. However, I do think it can have an easy solution for the cases in which the DPI is too high/low, if we're willing to give it a try and accept it.
Wishing you a lovely day ahead, and do let me know if you wish to troubleshoot this more! ^_^
