PSA: Mouse Input is broken in this game (looks similar to bad frame timing)
Mouse input is broken, which ruins an otherwise well optimised game. This looks to be getting confused with poor frame timing in a lot of threads, but controller input is unaffected. For reference, I easily average over 100fps even on the bigger maps, but panning the camera with mouse input makes the game feel like it's running at 15fps despite no drops. In-game reporting confirms it's running perfectly, as CPU/GPU are always rendering within 10fps of eachother. Connect a controller though? Buttery smooth camera panning, and easy to track enemies. No hitches or stutters, just butter. I've tried: - All polling rates, from 125hz up to 4000hz - Toggling raw input on/off - Enabling/disabling Nvidia reflex - Changing USB ports, changing to different mice, wired/wireless - USB power saving etc all turned off - I even tried a driver/Nvidia CP restore, but as controller is super smooth, this was a long shot in the first place Unfortunately the game is unplayable using a mouse on PC due to this. It's next to impossible to track targets, and you quickly get a headache from the micro stuttering when panning. The effect is very similar to Helldivers 2 on PC, when you turn off 'Mouse Smoothing', as that game has serious issues with raw mouse input. Happy to hear suggestions on how to fix this. Mice tried: - Keychron M4 - Logitech G305 - Logitech G604 - Razer Naga Hyperspeed - AttackShark M1 I've also tried on an entirely different PC, same results. OLED as always exhacerbates the issue too, due to the awesome pixel response times. I fear many won't see it due to slower LCDs. Specs are: 5700x3d 3060ti 8GB 32GB DDR4 3600 CL16 AW3423DW (Gsync module version) This is on a fresh Windows install, up to date drivers (tried DDU as well to be sure), but honestly since it's running beautifully with a controller, this looks to be purely a mouse input issue. No other games exhibit this issue other than... Helldivers 2, and Battlefield V. BF1 is butter on mouse, as are BF3 and BF4. Helldivers 2 can be fixed by turning on mouse smoothing in game. I almost bought a GPU upgrade before testing the Xbox controller, saved myself £600. Latest CM post: Hi everyone, Thanks for sharing your experiences and feedback so far. We understand this issue is especially frustrating when it impacts your ability to play smoothly with a mouse. While we’ve asked for similar information before (here), to move forward and make meaningful progress, it is absolutely essential that you provide detailed and precise information responding to the specific request below. Giving vague comments without concrete details won’t help us troubleshoot, escalate, or investigate effectively. If you’re able to, please reply directly to this post by clicking the Reply button on this post. This keeps your info neatly organised and makes it much easier for us (and the studio) to track everything. Please avoid replying to the original post or posting at the bottom of the thread, as this makes it harder for everyone to follow the conversation. Here’s what would be super helpful for us to know: Mouse mode (wired or wireless) Mouse polling rate (e.g. 1000Hz) Whether you’re using mouse software (like Razer Synapse) Where your mouse is plugged in (PC, monitor, hub, etc.) Keyboard model and connection type (wired/wireless) Keyboard polling rate Whether you’re using keyboard software Where your keyboard is plugged in Monitor model Full PC specs (CPU, GPU with driver version, RAM) Full Windows OS version (not just "Windows 11") Whether Gsync or VRR is enabled Full screen mode (fullscreen, borderless, windowed) Which platform do you play on (EA app or Steam) Any overlays active during play (Discord, EA app, Nvidia overlay, etc.) CPU and GPU usage percentages while playing Whether the issue improves with a framerate cap (e.g. 125 FPS) The more details you can share, the better we can help. We know it’s a lot to ask, but this is the only way we can ensure the right information reaches the team and move things forward. Thanks so much for your patience and for helping us out with this. We really appreciate it!
What are your priorities EA
For months on end people have continued to complain about these server related issues but yet nothing ever changes. I can’t comprehend how you guys sell us a game and promise to listen to feedback but amongst many, many issues the main one is connectivity. It’s crazy to think that you promote such a game and price it so high and me being dumb I still play it. Like a disgusting rat I have over a 1000 hours on this game and I couldn’t care less about nothing but enjoying my time on the game but yet I find it hard to start a match. When will you sort out your game, all people want is decent input and nice gameplay. If someone is better than me, so be it. It’s not the fact I’m losing, once in a while it’s the fact that I get worried about the gameplay I’ll get every other match, I start a match smashing the opponent, my game stutters and BOOM no correct inputs, frustration and looking for a “FIX” I play on less than 8 ping most of the time and my internet downloads at almost 900 mbs and upload of over 100 Mbs but yet the it makes no difference whatsoever and it’s only your game doing this? When will you actually listen to the community? Why have a forum but avoid the people begging for a decent experience?
Routing Issues in San Myshuno
Hello Everyone, Just recently I started playing a Sim for the first time in San Myshuno. I had her starting off in the Chic apartments and would send her out to check out the events of the day within that area. It is within the vicinity where she lives that I would see a sim I would like for her to either meet for the first time or a Sims she knew to strike up a conversation. I would select that sim of interest and have her go greet or talk with them and instead of heading in their direction, she takes off an entirely different way! So she never meets up with anyone in that area and it's so frustrating rendering this area not very playable. I've tried her living in other parts of San Myshuno, 2A Jasmine Apartment primarily and don't seem to have that same issue in the neighborhood there. I also notice that when living in the Chic apartments, that when the game first starts up there is a "staggering" issue that leads to a temporary freeze before it releases and then the game seems to run just fine. Again, there are no mods of any kind used. Thank you for looking into this!Terrible input delay for the past 3 months
The game has been unplayable for the past 3 months with this stupid input delay. Everytime i think it got fixed it comes back the next update. Since fut birthday i also had input delay in rush which is honestly a new low since it was the only gamemode that worked fine. Please i paid money for this game so atleast make it playableSims Not Working Since January
Hi! I have been having this issue where I go into sims to play and it will show the loading diamond screen, and I click it and it will glitch for a second then go back to the loading screen. I will press resume game and I will get into the game. But, when I try and travel or go on a date it will show the travel load screen(not the diamond one) and will just stay there, while my sims do stuff such as shower and talk to other sims- in the background. I was wondering if this is an issue on Sims or a mod issue I have tried repairing the game, doing mods by groups and still something is not working. I was also wondering if there was any place I could take it to, to get fixed. Or an easier way to get it fixed. Even when I disable my mods it still shows that like little green or pink heart that flows on top of my sims when u ask them on a date and the screen will be paused and then it will go to the travel screen. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to fix this because I am so so desperate to play, and just fix my game.
