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.

    The fact that this was never fixed is the biggest embarrassment to this game. There is a long story to why many of the game's flaws exist. This bug should have been spotted early in development and fixed easily! It is a VERY easy fix! 

    This games very weak writing and this bug are a stain again the name of Mass Effect! I still enjoyed the game, but its issues made me VERY sad.

    Have you managed to find a fix? I have this problem on Xbox One S controller and Logitech F710. Doesn't matter if I put Xbox One S on cable, it still stutters like mad. KB+M is smooth.

    Can't believe this still isn't fixed and the game is abandoned... I tried everything, from x360ce, to reinstalling drivers completely.

    I almost want to play the game on console to see if the issue is present there... This issue doesn't have very many reporters anywhere and its so glaringly obvious playing on my rig (my pc is also 1080 with 16 gb ram). If you want to make yourself dizzy, turn sensitivity to max and do the reproduction method of move, stop moving, turn. It has 2 glaring stallsin turn that accompany ryder stuttering in animation and after that its a perfectly smooth turn.

    its maddening. I have resorted to playing with mouse and keyboard. It blows my mind this is in a released shooter (the fact that its an rpg is irrelevant) let alone one that has has 10 or so patches.

    Well I can tell you that after playing the game on Xbox One X is that the choppy camera movement is only very limited to the console possibly due to the lower framerate. I am going to finish the game on Xbox One X as it plays nice there, looks nice with the 1800p update and I cannot perceive the choppiness to the same degree as the PC version. Such a shame since the game is certainly good looking on PC at higher refresh rates. I have also tried all methods to fix the issue but nothing helped.

    The problem is still actual on Xbox Series X... When the weapon is drawn and I am moving, the screen freezes and stutters like hell...
