I believe there is an issue with the game interpreting input on some mice. I’m attaching a video demonstrating the issue. In the beginning I exemplify the game with a high polling rate (1000) which is where the problem is most pronounced. I then lower it on my mouse setting (steel series, I’m running a Rival 5 mouse) to 125 polling rate.

Another variable that might be in play is I own a Cintiq (24HD). It’s off, but perhaps it’s a factor.

I had a similar issue in b4b around launch time. However there a polling rate of 125 completely ameliorated the issue. Whilst here even when moving the mouse slowly it still causes stutter to a greater degree than I believe would be normal from simply revealing a new area in the environment.

The game is CPU heavy, high USB polling rate is taxing on the CPU. Try lowering worker threads by 1 and see if it helps.

Good suggestion. I tried lowering the worker threads to both 9 and 12 (the latter being 1 lower than default) and it didnt seem to effect anything at all. Thank you though!
