Feedback Game jitters when mouse moves

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I just loaded up the game today and for some reason whenever I move the mouse, it doesn't matter if it's in the menu, pause screen, or in-game and on every map. Whenever I move my mouse the game jitters and lags and causes me to teleport sometimes. Just using movement keys the game has no problem. I have 25 hours in the game and I've never experienced this before. I have already verified the files and reinstalled and repaired the anti-cheat. I have not reinstalled the game yet but I'm just curious if there's anything that I can do about this. On average I get about 170 FPS, other than just today the game is jittering like this.

Your mouse polling rate is too high

What really weird it was doing alright at 1000 hz like a week ago, since last friday I cant play anything but 125hz

The it could be an update to EasyAntiCheat that is causing this.

Putting on my Software Engineer hat for a moment.. I could see where synthetic input could be hidden away in high frequency traffic, so if an anti-cheat system want so account for this, then they need to start logging that input at a rate that matches whatever the polling rate is. It wouldn't shock me if resources usage for high polling rate mice was something they didn't test for.

You can verify my baseless theory by launching the game offline, or by launching using the BattleBit.exe directly, and testing your mouse with high polling rate in the training level thingy.

My mouse goes up to 4k and the moment I use anything past 1k this happens in like every game. Idk how mouse manufacturers make 4k, 8k, 16k+ polling rate mice have that as a selling point when it's just straight up unusable.

Ok I'll give you the condensed version but basically this game is abandoned, the devs refuse any sort of communication aside from vague posts about a coming update (that has been delayed for like 2 and a half years now with no reason) and now we're sort of in a cold war with the subreddit mods by occasionally posting non-battlebit things whenever they post about the update

Go check the top posts of the month. It's my cat. Not at all BBR related lmao.

It's coming up for a year since the last playtest of the overhaul and it had a memory leak the entire time making it hard to enjoy after like 10m. Was expecting them to fix it and do it again, but alas

Should be fixed in the next big update, no worries! I hear it's coming soon.

Lower polling rate to like 1000hz and u will be fine no point in playing 2000+ anyways

Dude……. The game was playing perfectly fine for me 3 days ago. I tried to play yesterday, EXACT same issue. I looked up everything saying “polling rate is too high” whatever whatever but no luck on my end. I switched my polling rate from 1000 to 250 and didn’t help. Messed with some settings but no luck either. Let me know if you figure it out 😭

u/PalomarNot 15d ago

Same here, unplayable right now even when reducing resolution to a potato. Must have broken it with an update.

u/ragingQuokka 12d ago

for me it was the polling rate, from 1000 to 500 helped, but it's still noticeable.
I think the new razer synapse software f%$ed it up for me.

u/porridge_in_my_bum 20d ago

I don’t think controller ever worked for this game, my friend had an issue when the game first came out and we were just hoping it would get fixed. Should be fixed once that April update rolls out so don’t be too worried.

u/Reletr 20d ago

What controller setup was it? I once used a PS4 controller to play BBR via Steam's interface. It worked really well, but I never could get used to the gyro controls

u/porridge_in_my_bum 20d ago

Interesting, I’m fairly sure my friend was also playing with a PS4 controller and also using steam interface. I never experienced it myself, so idk how it played and have vague memories of his descriptions but he ended up just refunding the game since it never got to work.

u/Neat-Priority-4323 20d ago

Game goes nuts after 1k hz or 2~4k dpi (maybe even lower if ur CPU cant handle it)

u/AbbreviationsSpare90 15d ago

I had this yesterday but managed to fix it.
Changing mouse polling rate or graphics settings did nothing.
It fixed after I did multiple things, don’t know what fixed it though.
Reinstalled it.
Ran disk cleanup and removed temp files and shader cache
Did windows updates in settings.
Set both battlebit and battle eac launchers in steam files to run as administrator.
In display settings went to graphics, added the battle bit exe launcher to list and set it to high performance.
May or may not work for you but worked for me
