Jittery Sprite movements

Questions & Answers

Hey Unity devs!

I’ve been bashing my face against a wall for the last couple of days. Due to this, I think I may have a concussion and thus may not be trying to build these sprites and cameras the right way. Here’s the issue:

In the video, you can see that sprites are super jittery. It makes movement feel as though the game is incredible laggy. I’ve tried all sorts of “pixel perfect” cameras, lerping techniques, and standard camera techniques, yet I just can’t get things to move smoothly. What the heck can I do?

Here is one asset I have tried using quite extensively, because it appears to be what I need, but I just can’t get it to work for my intended use case. GitHub - RyanNielson/PixelCamera2D: A Pixel Perfect Camera for 2D Games in Unity.

Could anyone offer any help?

Thanks in advance,
James

I personally don’t think it’s the camera that’s wrong. What are you using for the movement code of your character? Using Transform.Translate may sometimes do this. If you are using that, try doing rb.addForce with rb being your Rigidbody variable. But honestly, it seems you know this already. If that’s not your case you can give me a link to the script for the player movement.
