Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? While weapon is drawn move Ryder forward and then stop moving, immediately move the right stick to look around. Instead of a smooth movement the view movement will stutter. It happens when trying to "look around" while Ryder is in the transitioning from moving to standing animation.

This animation bug really interferes with how smooth the combat in the game feels. Seems like a HUGE issue that many will not even realise it is happening but it has the net effect of making the combat feel choppy and a "bit off". Should be an easy fix, hope it is fixed soon because the combat is great otherwise.

While it feels like the games FPS are dropping I 100% believe it is caused by the animation. Most likely related to tying the camera to Ryder's movement.

I have tried this on PC and PS4, it seems much worse on PS4 but I believe that is because of the lower framerate.

I believe this is why many people think the performance of the game is bad when it is not. I have tried running the game at the lowest settings and 720p with my GTX 1080 and this still happens. It's not performance or FPS related.

Also occurs during my gameplay. Am using gtx1080 with latest driver. During trial with previous driver does not occur.

Xbox One drops down to zero FPS for 3 seconds the first time player aims down sights.

Unacceptable.

UPDATE:

Turns out it does not effect the mouse?!? So maybe not animation related. VERY ODD!

I have the same problem, playing the PC version with a controller is a nightmare. Patch 1.05 did not fix this issue.

Damn. I had a feeling it would not since somehow most people don't seem to notice this. Which is insane to me!

I have taken to not looking unless i am moving, lol.

Also since it does not effect the mouse I tried just mapping the right stick to the mouse with Steam with the controller mapping. Fixes the issue but it causes so much inconvenience in other areas where stick input is different to mouse I gave up.

Hope 1.06 fixes this! There is hope, there was a similar issue in Fallout 4 that took them about 4 months to patch!!!

While you are scanning (using a controller ) if you look around fast, the stutters (bad frame pacing, not fps related) appears as well. There is an obvious bug with controllers on PC, dont know about Ps4 or Xbox One

OH FFS!

This is unacceptable! Out of all the embarrassingly bad bugs in this game, this is the worst and should be the easiest to fix. Not to mention then highest priority. Because while many players may not THINK they notice it or recognize it as an issue; they will feel and/or see the stutter and probably think it is a framerate issue. And fixing it would vastly improve how smooth the game feels in combat.

VERY VERY disappointed about this.

I completely agree with this post. This is terribly unacceptable. I think that it has something to do with the acceleration and controls as much as video/graphics options. Either way it's still unacceptable. I have to admit however, I have been able to play on ultra settings with mouse and keyboard at a solid 60 and not have this problem come up. Still, I would rather play on a game pad (or at least have the option).. This should have been patched already. Here's hoping they get around to it.

I don't know about the animation thing but the FPS loss and controller Dead zones are clearly still there. Albeit, A LOT less pronounced, I play on a PS4 and have a brooks converter for my Xbox One Elite Controller so I can easily change the settings of the controller to offset it but even then it's a workaround and doesn't fix the fps problem and only minimizes the dead zone on the controller.

I'm not saying 1.06 didn't help, but it didn't fix the entire issue. The framerate thing is still a problem and since the open development menu onset is still 100% there, I know the fps problem hasn't even been considered,
