How can I disable mouse smoothing

[LeChuck]

It drives my brain nuts. I just want raw input man. thanks for any help

[-mad-]

+1 got it running fine max fps but looking around still feels just a little off... any help would be appreciated

ok so in the game steam folder atlas fallen/media-next there are a bunch of json files in which the word smoothing = true is set under mouse. i changed them all to false but still no go. sharing in case someone with more expertise can expand on this, since there r other variables im unsure of within those json files.

[-mad-]

more updates: the last 4 files to be touched upon loading game start with combo_
i changed smoothing value to 0.0 from 0.5 and i THINK.. its either gone or much less. if anyone can confirm all the better.. in any case its perfectly playable like so (not that it wasnt before... but felt a little weird)

I've tried to make these changes but it seems that nothing changed.
I also think that there is some serious mouse acceleration going on here. Maybe that's what ♥♥♥♥♥ with my brain because I can do miniscule movements but as soon as I flick my mouse slightly, the camera spins 2-3x on its own axis... I've set up the mouse sensitivity and as long as I don't do fast mouse movements I am good but man these mouse controls are absolute garbage.

I got something working for me, its still not ideal, but i reduced the overall sensitivity in the C:\Users\"user"\OneDrive\Dokumente\My Games\Atlas Fallen\settings.json even further to 0.05 for
"game_camera_sensitivity_x": 0.050,
"game_camera_sensitivity_y": 0.050,

still would be very grateful to turn that ♥♥♥♥♥ smoothing off. :D

aha wicked will do ty! have u tried setting it to 0.00? i will try that asap and report back

I'm honestly baffled by the insistence of game's defaulting to having any kind of mouse smoothing/acceleration on by default. Does anyone who actually uses mouse & keyboard enjoy these options on by default?

If I recall correctly, Surge 2 which was also made by Deck 13 at least had a config tweak that disabled mouse smoothing.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Atlas Fallen when it was released and I'm considering checking out the new update, but it really grinds my gears that the mouse smoothing/mouse acceleration issue hasn't been resolved.

surge 2 i used mouse+kb cause it let you use more active skills with keybinds, this game works fine with controller, no manual aiming needed

That's fine if you prefer playing Atlas Fallen with a controller, but I just don't understand what compels people to tell those who prefer mouse & keyboard the equivalent of, "I don't care about what issues you may have with a mouse & keyboard, just use a controller."

Like, why? What is it that you hope to accomplish by adding less than nothing to the discussion? Are you under the impression that mouse & keyboard players are unaware of the existence of controllers and that you're shedding light on the topic of computer peripherals?

I 100 percented the game when it initially released with mouse & keyboard on the hardest difficulty setting. I still would prefer it if the abomination that is mouse smoothing/mouse acceleration could at least be turned off.

It just baffles me that when it comes to mouse support, raw input isn't the standard.

you added l;ess than nothing by being an agressive ass, i was just sharing an opinion that controller is a valid option especially if mouse smoothing is causing you massive issues

Perhaps you just didn't enjoy the reflection of the mirror. :Shrugs: Be careful and check under your bed, Sweet Baby Inc and the Woke™ boogeyman might be hiding there.

At the end of the day, it's not a mystery that controllers are an option. Not everyone wants to use a controller and it's beyond tone deaf to tell PC players to suck up any issues they may have with a mouse & keyboard and just "use a controller".

We know controllers exist and we'd rather not use them. I own a controller, doesn't mean I want to use it all the time as I prefer to use mouse & keyboard. There's plenty of games that at least have the option to disable mouse smoothing/mouse acceleration, including their previous game (The Surge 2).

Camera Smoothing

[The Legendary ~F~]

It would be nice to have the option to be disabled, especially given prior games have this implemented.

Did the latest patch fix this?

[JackBaldy]

Checking in again, was this ever changed?

[JackBaldy]

There was a new patch again, did anyone test to see if there's any changes regarding this issue?
