There's some weird acceleration going on when turning, and sometimes it just spins hard randomly. I'm guessing it's tied to FPS when it drops slightly. Any way to get hardware cursor or toggle off the acceleration, instead of the obvious software cursor or whatever is going on?I use a Zowie EC2-A with 400 DPI. I tried a fix by changing a rotation speed thing in the .ini file, disabling high dpi scaling in exe properties amongst others, but didn't really work.This "bug"/feature goes back all the way from launch, sad to see it hasn't been fixed or at least made differently by now. Read a lot of posts about it, and there's yet to be any definitive fix right now, only random stuff that happened to fix it for one or two guys.

@Chaosboy95 Noting swtor is a d3d9 game , maybe also try some suggestions in this link

@Chaosboy95 i really do not recall to be honest, it is 10:17pm here and have to work tomorrow, let me log in tomorrow evening my time and have a play to refresh my memory. I do recall things like spinning my character like a cyclone has no lag or stutter effects

@Chaosboy95 The guy in this link applied the same fix as mentioned in the wow links and seems it did help last post in that link also seems to relate back to this link about camera rotation speed somehow changing

@Chaosboy95 Seems pretty much the same issue to me, this is the issue as mentioned in this thread ? which is similar issue albeit in a different game i linked in my first post. If this long standing issue isnt what you have going on may be need to explain it a bit better

@Chaosboy95 Just to check this issue isnt the same see this link so you are not getting mouse random mouse acceleration ? I will go to turn or strafe or whathaveyou and suddenly my camera spins way too far and i have no idea where I am even pointed anymore

Did you apply the Disable high dpi scaling to both launcher.exe and swtor.exe or just the game shortcut ?

I do not have any major issues with camera rotation and i am using a logitech G900 for reference

I do have the game shortcut , launcher.exe and swtor.exe (all 3) set as shown below , no idea if it will help but it is how I have mine set.

Do you experience any mouse smoothing/acceleration or any delay like feeling while turning the camera with right click?

Hello!

I tried using your properties settings, but there was no difference. But I think I've found the culprit. I've just put in my second GPU again, pushing my fps from 110 to 150+ at most times. Now, I've noticed that every time the FPS goes below my monitors refresh rate (144 hz), the mouse starts to slightly spin out, and feeling jittery in general, which would explain why it was doing it very often, when I was below the refresh rate at all times.

The question is now, how the hell do I fix that, without lowering my refresh rate every time I wanna play Swtor? Haha.

Hello. Every time my FPS just goes slightly below my monitors refresh rate (144 hz), the mouse starts to get very laggy/jittery/skippy, and generally feels like it gets acceleration, and occassionally spins out as well.

This is the only game I've got this problem with, and the spin out/acceleration issue seems to be quite common, albeit never really been tied to refresh rate, until now.
I've got "Disable high dpi scaling" enabled for both the game itself, and the launcher.

Putting the game to a lower refresh rate doesn't help either, it still starts skipping when going below my monitors native refresh rate.

@Chaosboy95 I've combined your two threads since they're about the same issue.

As far as troubleshooting goes, I don't think you mentioned trying any other mice, is that something that you can test just to see if the behaviour changes?
