i have a question about a bug that has been infuriating me.
it's when the camera suddenly snaps to a random position or speeds up extremely fast, it only happens when i hold left or right mouse button to move the camera around when running or standing still.

i've looked this up online but the only threads i can find are ones about the smart camera feature which snaps your camera back into the direction your character is facing, which is not happening here since i've already turned that setting off.

if anyone knows a fix for this please reach out to me since this is extremely annoying and can make combat literal hell at moments.

that fixed it for me! had to adjust the dpi as well because my cursor felt way faster after lowering the polling rate, but it worked
