High mouse polling rate impacting framerate

When using the mouse for anything in a 3D context (in game, ME loadout page, encyclopedia), I notice that frame rate will tank to about 30% of normal with huge spikes in frame time.

For anyone curious, try this.  Hop into the game, open the in-game FPS counter and move the mouse around.  If it's not happening to anyone else, maybe it's me.  The only change to my system or DCS was today's patch.

I can try to capture a video if needed, I don't think a trackfile will capture the problem.

Edit - it happens all the time, not just when 3D elements are on the screen.  For example, frame rate and frame time spikes occur with mouse movement on the main menu; it's not noticeable to the eye.

Same is happening with me when I use mouse look which is a lot. This is just since this last update in case any of the admin are looking at this.

 

As a bit of extra info, it only seems to be related to mouse movement for looking around the cockpit. I can leave the mouse alone and use the numlock pad and its smooth as it should be.

Same. It spikes frame time like crazy. Hovered if you are veeeery slow with this movement, then fps is fine. Zoom in with mouse wheel does not have this issue.

Also wanted to chime in and mention I am having the same problem listed here. Mouse movements appear to drastically hurt FPS

Same issue here, will test the solution tomorrrow. Thanks for the find.

How is this even possible? It's getting comical at this point, having to change mouse settings in order to have a playable experience, wtf.

Same here. Funny thing I've changed my steel series mouse for my simpler logitech one my wife is using. The problem is gone. However, in my steelseries Rival mouse, even lowering the polling rate to 125 did not solve the problem. So I am using my wife's mouse rn, waiting for solution.

Best,

Good find man, but I still hope it will be fixed quickly and officially. I shouldn't be forced to change my mouse sensitivity to play after a new patch 😂

Como posso selecionar a taxa de polling? Estou no logitech 502. Apenas drivers padrão do Windows.

Logitech,  LGhub need software
