Mouse movement jittery and not smooth? But smooth with a controller?

Really annoying.

the mouse movement sucks and the global lighting is like a constant flicker at a rate that give me a headache and burns my eyes.

this game is broken

Yeah, I had a more enjoyable time with a gamepad than my mouse, as sad as that sad for a PC game, though it is a port. At least it runs ok.

On my PCs (installed Quantum Break on several, because of all these well-known 'issues' some (and me) have had) the mouse movement was never a problem.

Mouse input was fine on Win7, Win8.1 and on Win10.

When the game stuttered - obviously - the mouse input would break down too. But that was due to the other issues, this game seem to have with CPUs (rather than GPUs).

This game is clearly better played with a gamepad. It is designed with pads in mind. It therefore also 'feels' better, especially with all the 'magic' powers, mapped on them.

I know from own experience, my aiming with gamepads is always an issue. I am not good pads as I am with a mouse. So, no judgement here, when 'auto'-aim is used with gamepad.

This is just the 'console' type of 'action-adventure' game (with shooting) that was build around a pad and for myself, I see no reason to not oblige and use one.

Youre going to have to use an xbox controller. I had the exact same issue, switched to controller and it was smooth as butter. For being a port its understandable

I played it with an f310 with little to no issues.

If anyone is looking for the fix in 2025, you turn the mouse sensitivity down to 50 or 40 and then boost the DPI on your mouse (if you can, I have a Logitech gaming mouse). The game is calibrated for a lower sensitivity. You can cheat it by doing what I just said and then the mouse movement is smooth! Such a simple fix, wild.
