FEAR 2 Sensitivity and Mouse Acceleration Help

[Carpy2]

I've been a counter-strike player all my life and am use to extremely low sensitivity. For reference, in CS I use a 0.9 in game sensitivity at 800 DPI, with no mouse acceleration obviously.

I just started playing FEAR 2 and with the sensitivity at its lowest, and at 650 DPI, it is still WAY to high for me. The mouse acceleration in the game also attributes to poor aim and poor mouse feel. This is the very first PC FPS game that I have ever ran into this problem with.

Does anyone know if there's something I can put in the autoexec, or launch options to get the sensitivity to be about half of what it is at its lowest, as well as get rid of the mouse acceleration?

I cannot play the game until I find a fix for this, it's absolutely ridiculous.

Thanks,
Carpy2

Having the same problem. I can get used to it and compensate myself after a while (though it's not easy even then) but by that time I'm feeling a bit ill and have a headache starting from motion sickness. I can't believe no one's put out a fix for this yet. I had the same problem with the original Dead Island, but at least that one has a 3rd party program to remove the mouse acceleration in it.

Yeah... It's sad that I made this post a long time ago and still haven't been able to play the game because the sensitivity is soooo high. I don't know why games don't just make sensitivity 100% customizable in a console or something.

I bet you anything that the DPI on your mouse is way too high. What DPI setting do you use?

People need to remember that not all games even let you adjust mouse senitivity so getting a crazy high DPI mouse is asking for problems.

I've been a competitive counter-strike player for years now, so I am not new to low sensitivities. I run 800DPI with a CS:GO in game sensitivity of 1.5, if that helps as reference.

Make sure mouse acceleration is turned off in the control panel?

Hmm... I haven't tried to get it to work for some time. I am pretty sure that is something I would have tried already, but it's worth another shot. Thanks for the continued help!

I'm using 400 DPI and the in-game sensitivity is set to the lowest setting, the mouse sensitivity is still far too high. I hope someone knows a solution.

I know this post was made a year ago, but I still feel your pain. I ended up buying a SteelSeries Rival, and with the SteelSeries engine you can set the DPI to as low as 50. That's the only way I have been able to play games with way to high of sensitivities. It sucks, I normally use a Zowie EC2-A, but have to bring the Rival out to play certain games that require lower than 400DPI. (I now play CS at 400DPI/1.8 in game).

Not really a solution, but the only way around it I could see.

I'm playing FEAR 2 on minimal sensitivity AND the dpi on my mouse turned all the way down.

If you don't have the special buttons on your mouse for altering DPI, your best bet is to change it manually in control panel every time you launch the game.

Yeah, this is a very poor port

I think it's a good port.

I also have a Steelseries mouse, but setting a low DPI before playing is burdensome. My mouse has two DPI settings, 400 and around 1500 for general use.
I wonder if there's an application than can set DPI per-application basis?

If you are using a Steelseries mouse, it may be compatible with their SteelSeries 3 Engine. Then you can do application based DPI profiles.

The PC port is good, a lot of settings like an option to disable headbob and auto weapon switch, the graphics menu is great outside of the AA (only FSAA).
Unfortunately the game was clearly developed with consoles in mind, and in my opinion looks worse than the original.

In my opinion Fear 2 has the best graphics in the entire fear series.

It's definitely not among the worst, but I find it lacking in some key points.

namely the FOV which can only be adjusted in ini settings, the lack of side mouse button support, which is RIDICULOUS condisering the original and both expansions supported that, clunky menu navigation, weird sensitivity settings.

There's too much to fiddle with in order to enjoy it like I enjoyed the original, and that is not a sign of a good port in my eyes. If you talk graphics settings then yeah, they are customizable. But that's not all that makes a good port.

I am using this one and it works fine for me, all i had to do was set the mouse sensitivity in game to minimum. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/optical-mouse-200/JUD-00001
