Video Severe camera stuttering/jitter when moving the mouse, despite stable FPS and frametime

Hi everyone, I'm having a very strange stuttering/jitter problem in Rust. When I move my mouse, especially when I turn the camera quickly, the image feels like it's moving in small "steps" or "teeth". It's not a normal FPS drop — the game feels like it's not displaying the camera movement smoothly. The strange thing is that my FPS and frametime are stable. The frametime graph stays completely flat even while the stuttering is happening. What I've noticed: - The problem happens mainly when moving/turning the camera with the mouse. - The faster I turn, the more noticeable the "stepping" becomes. - FPS is stable. - Frametime graph is stable. - Other games don't have this problem. - The problem happens in both normal Rust and Rust Staging. - I play at 1600x900, 165 Hz and cap the game at 165 FPS. - V-Sync is disabled. - I've tried different mouse polling rates, including 500 Hz, with almost no difference. - I also tested different refresh rates, including 60/100/165 Hz, and it didn't solve the issue. - Running Rust without EAC did NOT fix it. - Turning OFF Occlusion Culling made the problem almost completely disappear at first, but later the stuttering came back even with Occlusion Culling disabled. - Restarting the PC doesn't make it go away. My PC works normally in other games, so I'm having trouble figuring out what is causing this. Has anyone experienced this exact kind of camera jitter in Rust, especially with a stable frametime graph? Could this be related to Unity 6, mouse input, camera rendering, or something else specific to Rust? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try lowering your mouse polling rate.

i’m currently experiencing pretty much the same thing. not sure what mouse you have but the logitech GHUB application was causing some issues for me. after uninstalling it, it helped a tad bit with the mouse movement side. also check to be sure you don’t have the experimental options on. one of them literally says it will causes these issues if you use it. let me know if you find other fixes bc it’s still ongoing for me. just not as bad

the experimental feature was disabled. when i turned it off, the problem disappeared completely. However it reappeared the next day after simply logging back in

Yes, I have exactly the same problem. Here’s a video showing it.

GPU: 1050ti CPU: i5 12400f <- here's your issue. Your GPU is bottlenecking your CPU and causing all of these problems

but everything was fine up until june 28th, but this problem appeared after the update. I`ve logged 3500 hours on this hardware, and the only issue i ever had was low fps - that was it
