I Fixed This STUPID Minecraft Mouse Problem…

I want you to put yourself in my shoes as a content creator both on and off YouTube what would you imagine is my single biggest priority when recording or live-streaming footage of Minecraft well aside from the video being high quality and high resolution it’s imperative that I have a rock-solid

Framerate to boot now I don’t think I need to explain the importance of a good framerate to you see the differences here yeah it’s important so what is this video about well today I want to tell you about a problem that I was experiencing within Minecraft since the middle of August the

Problem that I was experiencing involved me not only having a dramatically lower frame rate than I should have been getting but another issue that completely prevented me from playing Minecraft competitively and that was a mouse acceleration issue that meant whenever I would move my camera around my camera would swing at completely

Erratic speeds as you can imagine trying to deal damage during an intense PvP battle with not only the mouse acceleration issues but also an awful framerate to boot I was furious and all of this came to a head on November 16 2019 during a team-based livestream event that involved PvP and I couldn’t

Play I couldn’t be competitive I needed to fix this I needed to know why this was happening so let’s go on the journey together as to how I fixed the most infuriating most frustrating problem that I have ever had with Minecraft this video is sponsored by MC pro hosting So where did all of this begin well first off I need to give you some backstory and don’t worry I’ll keep the technical details to a minimum so for those of you who are unaware occasionally i’ll livestream random adventures in minecraft on my twitch TV

Page whether it be SP live the new SP earth team based events or other things like that and i’ve been streaming fairly consistently since march of this year at the time anyways i wasn’t having any problems at all so then why in August of this year did I

Suddenly start having all kinds of problems I mean none of the core Hardware within my system changed at all between that time same CPU same GPU same ram same everything well almost everything in the middle of August I reinstalled the Windows operating system fresh on my computer I did this because I swapped

Out a pair of old 3 terabytes storage hard drives that I store my videos on for a pair of 10 terabyte storage hard drives but again everything else remained exactly the same why would this of all things cause the problems that I previously described well it’s time to

Tackle this issue so let’s break this issue down bad framerate and mouse acceleration issues why well there’s two schools of thought that I was focused on first that we’ll focus on first one are there any settings within Windows that would cause this problem and two what programs are open that might be causing

This problem as well well first off there is an option for mouse acceleration within Windows but I already had that option turned off if you game on a Windows computer make sure that you turn this option off too so next what programs are open that might be causing this issue I’m gonna keep

This bit short and sweet but after hours and even days of research I ultimately thought I had pinned the problem down to at least one of two different programs the first was my keyboard sliding software IQ I don’t need that program so I disabled it and while that did help

With some of my frame stutter issues specifically an issue where minecraft sort of skipped a beat once every second the larger issue was still there so next OBS or open broadcast software diagnosing the potential issues here though was much much more difficult I use open broadcast software to

Livestream everything that I stream and it’s an absolute monster of a program it does everything it streams my gameplay records my gameplay locally allows me to display alerts for things like donations and subscriptions and everything in between I need this program no other streaming software comes even remotely close in my

Book and yes I know what other options are out there because my instance of OBS is jam-packed albeit in an incredibly organized fashion with plug-ins scenes capture sources and everything else how do we even know if OBS or some part of OBS is the problem here easy run an

Instance of OBS with absolutely nothing loaded and see if minecraft still lags and it does pretty much just as much and because minecraft largely does not lag with OBS closed that seemed like a pretty open-and-shut case right OBS is clearly the problem well for months I thought that too and accepted it at

Least up until about a week ago on November 16th I took part in an event simply called minecraft Saturday’s it’s a team based event where a bunch of two-player teams go head-to-head in a series of minigames to see who ultimately comes out on top after 9

Games I was paired with fellow SP live member sneaks nag and I really wanted to give it my all the event required that we use the badlion client to play the game not a problem but we were also playing in Minecraft version one point 8.9 again not a problem but the moment I

Fired up the game with the obeah software closed I noticed a lot of problems were happening remember the mouse acceleration issue that I mentioned previously well that never really started happening until right this moment my first thought was the bad lion client was somehow at fault but that one’s also easy to try

Out just fire up Minecraft 1.8 point 9 without the bad lion client and see what happens but the issue persisted so seriously what is going on here I have a computer that is so fantastically Overhill for playing this silly little block game and yet I’m getting this well after I gave a disappointing

Performance in Minecraft Saturday’s I knew once and for all I had to fix this stupid issue so what did I do well I can’t remember where or when I heard this but I was alerted to the possibility that minecraft changed how it reads Mouse inputs somewhere around

Minecraft 1.13 this would explain why I wasn’t experiencing the mouse acceleration issue before since the last time I needed to use a version prior to 1.13 was in July of this year for minecraft mondays remember this issue started in August and I only noticed it

On the 16th so I had a lead within minecraft snapshot 17 w 43 a one of the game’s internal libraries LW JGL updated from version 2 to version 3 and sure enough this is the exact snapshot where the mouse acceleration issues stopped happening combined with my new knowledge

Of the problem I began searching googling such things as minecraft acceleration issue minecraft mouse speed and things of that nature and within a couple of minutes I stumbled across the answer in December of 2017 wolf leader one one six made a post on the minecraft forum that outlined my exact issue any

Had videos of the problem everything was an exact match and what they found was the mouse acceleration and framerate issues were caused by a rather weird but very simple problem long story short both your mouse and keyboard have a setting called their polling rate which dictates how often

That piece of hardware tells your system what it’s doing my mouse being a gaming mouse has a very high default polling rate of 1,000 Hertz which means it’s telling the system what it’s doing 1,000 times per second and apparently this is way too high for Minecraft maybe not too

High for everyone but for me where I have over 15 devices plugged into my computer yeah apparently it’s just too much thankfully within my mouse is software I can lower the polling rate of the mouse all the way down to 125 Hertz and yes I still do run into some issues

At 250 Hertz but as soon as I made that change all of my problems disappeared minecraft lagging with OBS open gone mostly all of my framerate issues in all versions of the game gone Mouse acceleration issues gone while yes the tech savvy among you might think 125

Hertz is a little bit low for my polling rate considering my primary display is 165 Hertz I asked you this what would you rather have butter smooth frame rates and extremely predictable Mouse behavior or choppy frame rates and unpredictable Mouse behavior I’ll choose the first option and that is how I fixed

The most annoying problem that I have ever had with Minecraft the reason why I didn’t encounter this issue before August is well I’m not entirely sure but my best guess is that at some point during the years prior I actually already had changed the polling rate of

My mouse but didn’t remember that I had done so and that said reset when I reinstalled the Windows operating system so yeah the problem is solved before I roll the outro however a message from MC pro hosting if you’re looking to get a minecraft server of
