Mouse Look Stutters / Jitters When Pressing Keyboard Buttons | Potential Fix

Potential Fix:
One of the causes for this problem relates to having MSI Afterburner or Rivertuner Statistics Server running while the game is up. Just close the program and it might end up helping you out like it did me. If it doesn't, maybe try other similar software that might be running on top of Battlefield 6 like these applications did.

~~~

A lot of other people have pointed out that the problem is tied to EA’s anticheat, and that it’s happening in other games even outside of the franchise. Some people have commented their own solutions like “Launching the game from the install folder and EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher” or “going offline on every platform you use to run the game” or “pressing the 4 most used buttons on launch to make the button presses not trigger the stuttering issue. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if a whole lot of unique things are causing this issue across a bunch of different setups. If you still need help, try poking around the comments section and take a look at other people’s suggestion's. For me, turning RTSS off completely fixes both the mouse stutter and text box issues, but not everyone having this issue has MSI Afterburner or RTSS installed.

~~~

The Issue:

Mouse stutters alternate depending on game launch between the three:

  • Pressing action buttons such as sprint, reload, or interact.
  • Pressing movement buttons.
  • Pressing weapon swap buttons.

When this bug happens, either one or the other affects mouse look. They don't occur at the same time. Spamming a bunch of buttons at the same time results with severely increased stutter.
Seems like the mouse movement isn't tracked until the button register code has been run, then the mouse movement jumps to the position it should be once the register code is complete.

Only happening in Battlefield 6, doesn't happen in other games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 1.
Happens with different mice such as the Logitech G502 Hero and Razer Deathadder Essential. Only one mouse has been plugged in while this bug occurs. There are no duplicate peripherals plugged in. Restarting computer doesn't change anything.

No control or peripheral changes have been made since last played with no issues.
There is no way for the user to fix this bug unless they know how. (I didn't know how and would've never been able to figure it out on my own).
The issue persists even after resetting controls and reinstalling the game.

Attachment MP4 example is bug occurring when movement keys are pressed. Footage is captured at 125 frames per second in-game and 60 frames per second video export.

~~~

While this bug is active, you can't type into the text chat. Opening the text chat for the first time instantly closes it after a few frames, letters don't register when you re-open and sequentially try to type, the cursor appears on the screen, and clicking automatically closes the menu and fires the equipped weapon.

    Yes.

    Happening in Sims 4, too. 

    EA's kernel-level anti-cheat,  [  Battlefield and The Sims 4 use the same system], are causing significant global keyboard input failures. Whatever this software is, is operating  at the most privileged level of our operating systems, and is "hooking" into monitor input devices, and bugging out specific keys [or blocking them] across the entire system, while EA services are active.

    Its affecting my keyboard anywhere in Windows , all browsers, and all programs, except for Notepad. 

    If i restart my computer, after resetting the windows image through Cmd prompt, I am OK. 

    ...UNTIL i open the EA App again, or it opens itself. Game or no game.

     

  • The potential fix is a lie.

    When you launch the game you got a chance that the button that make you stutter change.

    All known button are WASD and 1-2-3-4 also the grenade button and kit button. There is still no fix and it change randomly everytime you launch the game.

    It's unplayable. I tried re-install, driver, javelin, game, overlay, personal anti-cheat, monitor. We gotta wait for EA to acknowledge that the game is unplayable. How much are we gonna wait is based off if DRUNKKZ3 actually try to play the the new update this weekend rather than passing time with his family and or having a productive useless social life for new years.

  • Launching the game from the install folder and EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher seem to work for now.

    In short, the first 3-4 keys you press on your keyboard after launching the game are guaranteed not to reproduce this bug until the next reboot.
    So, press W A D C keys as the most necessary ones in conjunction with mouse movements.
    The remaining buttons will still be laggy, but not all of them.
    For example, on my first press W A D C, the buttons Q E are same protected from the bug, at least.
