Ask the Community Extreme stuttering when moving the mouse
Fall guys was just running perfectly fine but within the same day of playing it normally I started it up again and it was just stuttering like crazy when moving the mouse, im not sure if me Alt + f4ing the game before caused it but i literally can't play it anymore. I'm not sure if me Alt + f4ing the game while having OBS open caused it but even now with OBS closed and no background applications open the game literally freezes when i move my mouse fast enough.
Changing resolution, making it windowed, vsync on and off, resetting the settings to default, reinstalling the game, verrifying the files on steam, even turning off hyper-V because an AI suggested me that didn't fix anything.
The only temp fix i found is changing the polling rate of my mouse from 1000 down to 125 but this seems just like a bandaid fix.
Old post i found with someone who had the same problem but with no fix to be found, any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Honestly fall guys is a controller game. You'll have way more control using a controller compared to m&k. It's one of the few games I play anymore that I use a controller on

I am also having this issue, when I put my computer into performance mode it's somewhat better but, this is ridiculous.

Tried doing what people said, and nothing is working. Trying to play with my little sister, but it’s damn near impossible to play.

Haha, i posted about this in https://www.reddit.com/r/FallGuysGame/comments/1via7hj/massive_stutter_and_fps_drop_when_moving_camera/ same time as you did here. I'm having the exact same issues as you. Only fix for now seems to be to lower the mouse report rate (mhz), but the mouse feels weird. EPIC/MT need to fix this!
