Mouse stuttering.
Just redownloaded swtor to play again but i get very bad mouse stutter even tho i have 200 fps, legit if i move my mouse slow its like it doesn't want to move at all most of the time and if i move it...
Forum Discussion
That DPI seems low , as you saw mine was 2100 , and Draksko used 3600 - Link
I hate high dpi and never had a problem with it before.
Im not using a higher dpi that shouldnt be a problem that should make my mouse move slower and its not slow at all so if i make it higher it will be worse.
Test with at least 2100 DPI just to be certain so you can eliminate it
Legit how will this do anything please explain I only use 400dpi and never had a problem with it before until now this makes no sense to me at all......
What OS are you using ?
Windows 7 pro
Cant think of anything specific for windows 7
In regards to DPI I am thinking specifically as mentioned at this link
with low DPI and you crank up the sensitivity. If you tried to aim at small targets, you’ll see the mouse cursor jump around as you move it. The mouse hardware isn’t as sensitive, so it doesn’t detect the smaller movements.
given you mentioned right at the start "if i move my mouse slow its like it doesn't want to move at all most of the time and if i move it fast it jumps around."
Hence why just seeing if cranking the DPI up to 2100 has any affect
i dont use high sensitivity and thats the point i hate barely moving my mouse and it goes flying across my screen
Just like i thought would happen made it 1000 time worse putting it to 2100
Understand that but it is just to confirm that something in swtor isn't overriding what you think you have the mouse set at
as draqsko posted he found anything under 1800 dpi on a razer mouse sluggish in swtor
It is purely to see if a higher DPI has any affect on what your currently seeing
Cant force you to try but debating this 🙂 isnt getting either of us any where
Well at least you know now
I have played for months with it at 400 dpi with no problems dont see how that would change magically now.
Dont know either, but something has to have changed or the way it responds in-game shouldn't have changed, Could it be something to do with the acceleration curve itself ?
Start at the beginning I guess, is the windows acceleration set to the middle scale (default) ?
Have you tried unticking if it is still ticked "Enhance Pointer Precision" if this is ticked it will introduce software interpolation make your DPI not the "real" DPI
I do not use acceleration at all so yes its default and i dont use Enhance Pointer Precision.
I guess in the yournameaccount.ini in the appdata delete the line that says Controls_CameraRotationSpeed so it uses defaults
can also run a game repair just to be sure it isn't game file related
Non-Streaming launcher - Log into the launcher but don't click Play. Check for small letters "ST" in the bottom left corner.If this is NOT present, With the new launcher after login , select the username pulldown on the top right and select settings, then press repair.
Streaming launcher (Default) - If the letters "ST" is present, close the launcher, right mouse click on the game shortcut,select open file location and delete the BitRaider folder. Then start the launcherI can run the repair but the game is at default for camera rotation speed sense i never touched that until you said to try and see changing it would work when that didnt i just put it back to what it was.
Ok well its not letting me run the repair.
And the ST is there at the bottom
Delete the line altogether it doesnt exist unless it isnt set to default
as to repair, the repair on the launcher is disabled if using streaming signified by the letters ST on the launcher, to repair is to delete the bitraider folder which is a quick method of doing this http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=729911
It is deleted and i just deleted the bitrider folder.
Well that didnt work too I don't understand whats going on this is super weird since I can play any other game i have without any problems but this game.
It is odd if it was working ok , maybe uninstall and re-install of all the razer stuff cant hurt
the only other file you can delete for the game is a file called diskcachearena this is the games cache file just in case it is glitched.
the file is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor so just delete diskcachearena with the game and launcher closed, a fresh one is created on the next game launch.
Well tried uninstalling and reinstalling razer and deleting diskcachearena but didnt change anything.

heya @gh0stlyhoots,
can you do me a favour and try a different mouse. I just want to check if it might a compatibility issue with your specific mouse or something else.

I don't have another mouse so i cant but i have used it every time i have played never had a problem before and i just did another fresh install of windows 7 and that didn't help. Can play any other game perfectly fine still tho.
