[SOLVED] Doom Eternal - Microstutter when strafing and turning?

[Ootsymahdootsie]

Anyone else ever had this issue? I'm playing at a solid 240 fps and everything is smooth as butter unless I move my mouse while I'm strafing, which is really annoying because this is the kind of game that encourages you to always be moving and shooting. It's not a huge stutter or anything, but more like slightly choppy. I have a 240hz monitor with a frame cap set to 237 because I use g-sync. It seems to happen with RT on and off.

It happens everywhere but I'm currently in early game, after going through the fireball tunnels and jumping a gap. I'm at an arena with a lot of zombies and a spider demon spawns at the end.

Probably the easiest way to test the issue is to stare at a light on the wall and then walk left or right while keeping your aiming reticle on the light. If you're having the issue, the light should seem jittery like it's twitching. It's also easy to notice if you're airborne and move the mouse. Objects in the distance seem stuttery.

For anyone who might be having this issue, it turned out to be the mouse. I bought a Razer DeathAdder V3 and the issue went away.

Out of curiosity, did you use any software for that mouse?

My previous mouse was a Redragon M602 and I just used the software from their website. When I got the Razer DeathAdder V3, it automatically installed its own software (Razer Synapse), which allowed me to increase the polling rate to 8k.

I don't know if Redragon is just a brand to be avoided or what, but the mouse movement is much smoother now.
