Setting raw mouse input to 0 breaks mouse look, unplayable. Since game launch!

Turning Raw mouse input OFF still doesn't work over 4 months after game release and after EA acknowledged it was an issue and that they were "working on it". WTF EA????? Something as basic as playing with raw mouse input turned off should not take this long to fix ESPECIALLY when it has worked with every other frostbite engine game INCLUDING SW:BF1 and Battlefield 1. 

Not sure what I mean? --In your config files you can change the value of raw mouse input from a 1 to a 0, just like any previous Frostbite engine game. Go to your documents, open Star Wars Battlefront II, go into settings - then open ProfileOptions_profile_synced (with Wordpad). Here's a screenshot: https://gyazo.com/9f6f0dbeea3eec52796758e148fe58bc

When you change it to 0 it breaks your mouse look as in it only moves in little twitchy micro steps..Completely broken. 

Yes EA, we get it that you're more "console oriented" lately because that's where the money is but that's no excuse to have a standard feature for PC gamers not work at launch and still not working 4 months later!!!! Seriously WTF!

So, to help you fix this let me give you as much info. This is NOT related to the Windows 10 creator's update raw mouse issue as it does the same thing for me in my Windows 7 build and I use an older build of Windows 10 (1511). My GPU is a 1080ti FE EVGA, my CPU is the i7 5820K. I play in a surround 3 monitor setup like I always have never an issue (3x1080p monitors in portrait mode, a resolution of 3240x1920)... But I've also tried playing on 1 monitor 1920x1080 and the issue is still there. My motherboard is the Asus X99-A 3.1. 

Many players prefer to play with raw mouse turned off, all for different reasons. In my case it's related to my preference of inverting BOTH my Y and X axis when playing. But you don't have the invert X axis in the game settings, only Y axis. So you could always add the invert X axis option and that would resolve the issue for me. Not a big deal to do this, look no further than destiny 2. They allow to to invert both the  Y AND X axis.

This is a whole lot of BS over something that would probably take 2 of your team members less than half a day to fix. Over the months I've been assured by your reps that this was a known issue and that it would be fixed, yet here we are over 4 months later and still no fix. Total BS.

I've been playing Battlefield + Battlefront games since 2004 and this was never an issue. You will lose a loyal and valuable $$$ customer if this isn't resolved. For God's sake just fix the raw mouse input issue already or add the option to invert the X axis along with the existing invert Y axis option.

Do your part EA, enough is enough. 

This is why I never edit config files and whatnot. When you say 'mouse look' did you mean 'mouse lock'? Also, did you try setting the value to 1 again for now to fix the bug? An invert X-axis option shouldn't be too hard to add.

Hey Trooper,

I did mean mouse "look", a.k.a. free look (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_look). When raw mouse is set to 0 you can't look around properly whatsoever, something gets broken in the interpretation of the mouse movement which should not be the case at all, especially not with a FrostBite game. And yes, setting the value back to 1 "fixes" it but it just gets me back to square one. 

Adding an invert X-axis option to go along with the existing invert Y-axis would be absolutely fantastic!

I wouldn't edit the config files if I didn't have to.. There was a time with previous Battlefield games when you could disable or enable raw mouse input right from the game settings menu without having to look for it in the config files.

Making either one of these adjustments would change my gaming experience with this title from night to day and restore some of my lost faith in EA

I've brought this up several times over the past 4 months. I really hope somebody can actually help out this time.

Even after that last update yesterday the issue is still not fixed.

Does nobody else prefer to play with raw mouse input off?? 

It's a pretty basic thing in PC shooter gaming.  From CounterStrike to Battlefield many players prefer to have the option to toggle raw mouse input. 

So I am at a loss why more players aren't bringing this up.

Could you explain to me what was your intention with disabling Raw Mouse Input? I didn't get the picture. How disabling this option allows you to invert both axis? I'm really curious, maybe there are more options that we can change that DICE doesn't allow us to change, and that would be very interesting to me, especially for Starfighter Assault where we can't remove the AIM-Assist feature, change the Field of View, or even re-map the controller buttons (I use a third party software to map my controller buttons so it feels more like old N64 Rogue Squadron, then the monstrosity which is their preset mappings).

Hey Rogue,

So, there are various reasons to prefer disabling raw mouse input. In my case, it is because I prefer to play PC games with BOTH my X and Y axis inverted. Disabling Raw mouse changes the mouse input source from the mouse itself to Windows' interpretation of the mouse input. In my case, my OS has 3rd party software that inverts both the X and Y axis which allows me to play the game to my liking. 

This is the 1st time with any frostbite game I've ever played where you can't disable raw mouse input without any issues. It should have been nipped in the bud months ago. I'm disappointed. 

**UPDATE**

The issue is still there after the latest update. Why is this not being addressed???

Very disappointed. 

@EA_Atic

The fact that there are still issues with the mouse look when the raw mouse input option is turned off when it has never been an issue whatsoever with any previous FrostBite engine game (Battlefront + Battlefield games) is unacceptable.

More so, the fact that we're almost a half year since game launch and this is still a problem without an explanation as to why or even if they're looking into getting it fixed is completely ridiculous and soooo unprofessional. So, quite frankly I no longer care about the due process. Sorry.

Can you please inquire with the dev team what the status is with the raw mouse input OFF issue and when we can expect it to be finally fixed?  Please find out and inform us whether or not it's even on their list of bugs that need urgent fixing and when we should expect this to be done.

I can't stress enough how there should be absolutely no reason for this bug to exist, 6 months later. That's bullsh*t (pardon my french). 

Anything less, after all this time, is simply unacceptable. Sorry.
