Mouse or Image stutter

[dire willow]

Some things I also forgot to mention where that this happens on every single game, and it also makes the game both visually and feel sluggish and heavy or input laggy I guess. Even though I’m reaching really nice frame rates like Apex always reaches my Refresh rate on my monitor.

Both frametime and frame graphs are good too.

Thats either surface or sensor on your mouse

As it’s your movement being stuck not a stutter

[dire willow]

I've used 3 different mouse pads, and I've used 3 different mouses. Unfortunately none of those fixed the issue

[dense monolith]

On a second look through you’re turning each time. If your image stutters going forward, then it’s stutters

I’ve just changed the polling rate on my mouse to 125hz and it exaggerates the problem even further. Here’s a Look:

@dire willow You mean the edge of the wall?

[dire willow]

Well the entire screen, but yes the wall. All edges of all objects including enemies are like that wall in the video

[cyan hearth]

Which game is it?

It looks like a TAA artifact to me

(Temporal Anti Aliasing. It sucks)

[dire willow]

It happens on every single game and happens regardless on what AA technique is being used. In this video, I have anti-aliasing turned off because its Apex and competitive. I've had this issue for many many many years now :c

[cyan hearth]

Are you using DLSS or FSR?

[dire willow]

Nah like I said man this video was on Apex. I was using nothing. No anti aliasing at all which includes DLSS / FSR

This issue also makes games feel almost heavy and sluggish. Also kind of like input lag. It also causes the image to look sluggish as well. So if Im on my computer, 240hz looks like maybe 80 fps on somebody elses setup lol

[cyan hearth]

Does it show up in native recordings?

[dire willow]

Good idea. Let me have a look. Ill record something

[dire willow]

Trying to compress a video down so I can actually post it here, but the blurry disgusting shit on the walls is not there on native recording. but the stutters / jumps / skips are

[cyan hearth]

You can upload to mediafire, no user required.

or ufile . io (The discord deletes file hosts links)

[dire willow]

I'll try ufile . io brother. Give me a sec

Cant post the link here for the life of me lol

[cyan hearth]

@dire willow Just do the text after .io

[dire willow]

ufile wouldnt let me upload the video it kept giving me an error "error 0 : Undefined"

So I went to mediafire but discords blocking the mediafire link even after removing the https and the www,

So GG's lol

[cyan hearth]

Just paste the part after .com

[dire willow]

But, when recording natively the blurry the jittery vibrating objects (likes walls and edges) is not showing on PC recording

But the skipping and stuttering and jumping when panning the mouse is still showing on PC recording

[cyan hearth]

Got it

[cyan hearth]

It looks a lot better there, but I have no idea about the issue. It looks kind of like microstutter.

[dire willow]

Yeah it’s so bizarre I have absolutely no idea what it is. All I know is the lower the polling rate, the worse it gets but the issue is still there when at max 1000hz polling rate and it feels terrible, but the camera doesn’t pick up on it as much unless i use the slow-mo so I’ve been doing my testing in 125hz polling rate so I can very easily tell when the problem is still there

If you are experiencing this issue across two machines with separate hardware, then there must be some linking factor. Do you have any like software or connected internals between the two systems?

[dire willow]

I cant think of anything because I believe absolutely everything has been changed. All peripherals, all components in the PC, everything

There are only 3 factors that have stayed consistent throughout this time. Both previous PC's were prebuilds from Techfast, my internet, and my power. Theyre the only 3 things that have stayed the same throughout this time

[bitter gorge]

when u reinstalled windows, did you reformat all drives?
