I'm really bad at computers, so bear with me. I just bought Battlefront 2 on steam, and I'm trying to play it on my laptop, but it's not playable. I use a touchpad mouse, and it keeps stopping while I'm playing. I can't aim or shoot, it's just unplayable. I'm not home for a week so I won't have my wired mouse until then, which I think would probably be the fix but idk. Any help is greatly appreciated.
When I pay for a game, I expect support from the devs. I want to play what I fucking bought. The Steam threads don't say anything about this issue, at all?

I've been having a look but I can't find anything that fixes my problem.
Dunno if this helps, but it kind of plays like the old RE games, I can walk but I can't look when I walk, and I can't shoot when I walk. I have to stop and wait a couple seconds, then start aiming, then stop aiming, then shoot. This is pissing me off.
Well I got my hands on a mouse, guess it just doesn't like my touch pad.

I also had a similar problem with Counter Strike Source back in the day. the touchpad mouse that was on the laptop would glitch out/stop working when I was using the keyboard as well. I'm guessing the touchpad doesn't work well in games when you are using the keyboard at the same time as the touchpad mouse. Never found a solution to it, I just got a regular mouse.

Of course they don't.
No-one plays an FPS with a touchpad.

OP, you might as well be trying to play it with a graphics tablet or a wiimote. You can't play FPS games with a touchpad, and it's not the touchpad's fault.
Spend some time with your family, and the game will still be there when you're reunited with your mouse.
I assume you're using windows
Got to Settings > Devices > Mouse & Touchpad
Set the box under touch pad to No Delay

This is a feature of touchpads (synaptics calls it "palmcheck"). They disable themselves whilst you're typing, so you don't move the mouse with your wrists.
You can turn it off in the control panel, but really you should get a mouse.
