Since the update the game has been firing whatever you have equipped without input from myself. When this happens its only one shot at a time and the button inputs change to mouse/key on screen.

Mouse user here... on the spawn screen the map is moving about of its own accord. May this is related to the op's post above.

Have the same issue. Not only that, the game sometimes mixes steam input with k/m input for some reason. Also when k/m mixes with right stick input, the camera bugs out. Didn't notice any of the similar issues anywhere other than BF6

Same issue here. Some testing - it seems to be from moving the L/R joysticks. I went into M/KB button mapping and remapped the fire button on the mouse to something other than left click and it stopped doing it. I like swapping to Mouse/Keyboard when riding vehicles so I'm still looking for a better solution, but that could maybe help you out at least!?

Yup same for me with the Steam controller 2. I haven't played the game in weeks and this just made me turn it off again.

similar issue for me, but nothing i can't handle yet: i set a gun such as the tr-7 or DRS-IAR to single fire, and I shoot a full mag (21 bullets). I am expected to click 21 times, but every so often I will shoot twice for every 1 click. I looked online, and it seems to be related to CPU usage and netcode, but i am still unsure as of right now. Performance seems to have not changed for me, with it neither increasing or decreasing, which is fine for me, but it could be related to the problem.

Yeah haven't had the firing issue, but have seen the map spas out on the respawn screen.

I've been noticing that whenever I aim down the sights, the game always fires a single shot when I don't want it to, and it's massively screwing with my shots, especially with the rocket launcher. I don't know if my mouse is being problematic, or it's a bug with the game.

Okay, I just got my SC and was worried it was a hardware issue

Same issue here. It seems to be related to non-XINPUT controllers.

Also reporting same issue, can't play like this. Fires a single shot when applying aim-down.
Have tested my mouse on

just to rule out hardware malfunction.
I'm on PC/Steam with latest patch applied.
