Mouse sensitivity settings (and tutorial for fix)

[Mattrex]

I found the default mouse sensitivity settings for rotating the camera to be too high, but there is no way to change the settings inside the game. Fortunately, there is still a way to change these settings; unfortunately, you must manually edit settings.json in your computer's AppData directory.

Fortunately, there is a button on the launcher to open this file directly. So if you, like me, find the settings a bit off-kilter, you can adjust them by doing the following:

- Open the launcher, and click the blue "Settings" button to the right of "Play". Then click "Edit Settings File". Do NOT do this until you have launched the game at least once before, because settings.json is only created with default settings when the game (not the launcher) is first launched, and clicking "Edit Settings File" before you've opened the game once before will create a blank settings.json file that will cause the game to error on launch.

- In settings.json, scroll down or search to find "input.mouse_move_delta_to_camera_pan_speed" and "input.mouse_move_delta_to_camera_rotate_speed". You may change the numbers (defaults are 0.20 and 0.060 respectively) to adjust the sensitivity. Lower numbers are less sensitive. I changed rotate speed to 0.030 and that gave me a much better feeling movement when rotating the camera.

Note to the developers: it's really weird that you don't have some kind of "Advanced Settings" option in the game to adjust these parameters. It's nice that you included a button on the launcher to open the JSON directly so I don't have to dig around in AppData, but that's definitely a band-aid to the problem of locking away customization options in what is ostensibly a mainstream game, and most of your players are probably not going to have the wherewithal to line-edit JSON to get settings that are comfortable for them. I can't tell if you think your players are idiots ("you can't understand/don't need customization options") or geniuses ("obviously you know how to edit JSON in Notepad and that's what you prefer to do").

I wish the settings menu was easy to read then this notepad stuff. Why isnt there a menu screen for this.

Wow, that is pretty ridiculous that they don't have a mouse sensitivity setting in the game, like nearly all other games in existence.

And they know it's an issue because they expose the settings file like this.

Ctrl+Shift+S INGAME also works

The most commonly requested settings are exposed directly in the settings screen. Anything more advanced is in the CTRL-SHIFT-S screen. No need to edit text files or use the launcher. You can do it all right in game and there are tons of settings to tweak.
