Negative mouse acceleration

[Drorian]

This really sucks, I bought the game long ago on sale and only now I found out of this negative mouse acceleration bug.
I saw the game has actually got some patches but no mouse fix, I tried all the fixes, the no mouse acceleration on windows, on registry with markc fix and on game launcher, I lowered my mouse dpi from 5700 to 2000 and it's still totally unplayable, Now I think I'll just try it with the xbos controller even though it's stupid to have mouse and keyboard and have to play with a limited controller, also I have some problems with my usb ports that make my pc reset when something is plugged in so I think I will rage a lot by playing this game.

not sure why ur getting this..i use mouse + KB and have no problems..check mouse battery, maybe the mouse is old, the buttons sticky ect...this may not be the solution, and I'm not trying to annoy you..just saying, check everything, so you can re-engage enjoying ur play.

dude you can search this same forum and find hundreds of people with the same problem, I have 5700 dpi logitech g9x cable mouse paid 90 euros (so, no battery whatsoever), that's got nothing to do with my type of mouse, it works perfectly with every other game and program (even though I saw there are other console-like games with the same problem reported by other users)
There is an in game negative acceleration problem for mouse, it's hardcoded in the game (it's even written on the game's wiki) and the developers just keep actively ignoring the fact.

To clarify what negative mouse acceleration is: If i move the mouse slowly the sensitivity seems high, I can turn around without problems, but when I need to turn the camera to get a 180° turn or something like that by moving the mouse fast it almost doesn't move the camera at all, the faster I move the mouse the slower the camera turns.
Also there is a really annoying vertical sensitivity problem that gives me headaches since the little precise vertical movements of the mouse while I try to turn left and right are highly magnified by this same problem and keep on making the view constantly go up and down tens of times per second.

I wouldn't say there are hundreds of complaints...probably dozens though.

Truth be told I can't even notice the mouse acceleration issue unless I actually go looking for it and I typically only have my mouse set to 4000dpi. You just don't need to spin the camera that often. This isn't really a twich shooter and the third person view lets you see enough to know if there is a zombie coming up from behind you. Probably 25% of the time I am fighting into the camera. I guess if aiming was more important it might be a bigger deal, but as the game stands, it is such a minor thing that I doubt you could find many people who would want the developers to waste time on it when they could be doing something else.


This game is unfortunately...a "crappy port" in regards to the mouse support. There is talk of a year celebration release that will contain some fixes. So perhaps they will adress it there, but aside from that I am pretty any and all development is done on the game.

I can't even experience the game,while the horizontal deceleration is unnerving the vertical screen shaking it causes is unbearable.
Also having to create a user.cfg file to be able to run just the game the very first time gives you an idea of how bad the port is.

by the way maybe here on this forum there are only dozens of complaints bout mouse deceleration but there are hundreds all around the web and many more who don't even buy the game cause of this problem.

Anyway even though I'm used to fps and no acceleration I just put hundreds of hours into dragon age inquisition which is a 3rd person rpg with pretty much the same camera controls as this game and I had no problems at all but the transition to this game is impossible :(

ok I found a mod that reduces the blur effect (which was making every camera turn a real pain for my eyesight) and lowered the sensitivity to about 1000 dpi and ingame sesnsitivity up to the maximum available, it's much more playable now and gives less headaches, still don't see why they can't fix these simple problems TONS of people are having. yes because everywhere I look, steam forum, own game's forum, game review site's forums are full of ppl asking for tweaks about motion blur reduction and mouse acceleration removal.
