Mouse lag

[Piszczel]

I get noticeable mouse lag in game. I have constant >60fps so that's not a problem. Anyone know how to fix it?

Same here, I get smooth FPS but noticable kb/m lag. I've lowered the settings but the lag is still there. I really want to play this game but it's hard to get into it with noticeable lag. If anyone has a solution please let us know.

Yeah I know of a fix that worked for me, I also had 60fps but some mouse lag.

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Witcher 2\config

edit the User.ini

[MouseInput]
KeyboardCooldownSpeed=0.1
MouseDampX=7000
MouseDampY=7000
MouseSensitivityX=0.353846
MouseSensitivityY=0.221154
MouseSmoothness=1
SensitivityX=0.5
SensitivityY=0.5
Smoothness=0
UseMouseDamp=false

The main one was Smoothness=0, I then adjusted the ingame settings and now its perfect. I pasted the whole section as I am guessing my adjusted ingame settings show here as well. After this try with V-sync on and off to see if you get any difference.

Good luck

Thanks, Witcher1979. It helped a lot. :)

For OSX this is located in the Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam apps/Common/The Witcher II/bin/config/User.ini

Couldn't make it work unfortunately. The game is unplayable withe menus like this. what were they thinking? Its like payday two, but this is worse because there are a lot of menus in this game.

[lt_-hawkeye]

tried this and didn't work, anyone else ever come up with another idea? :/

[GRUMPLE]

I wish i could get this to work. It's just the menus that suck ! :(

When you are in the game launcher, click on options and disable the vertical sync. It fixed the extreme mouse lag I used to have. (sorry, I'm super late to the topic but if anyone needs help, just disable vsync and try to play, should work perfectly)

Thanks A LOOT!!!

Nothing worked for me, at all: I turned off vertical sync and uber sampling, tweaked the user.ini and rebooted the computer, but I still get the exact mouse lag as I got the first time I played the game. Help please?

(By the way, the menus are abject. What the hell were the developers thinking when they did this? That we were having way too much fun and didn't deserve such happiness?)

I'm not 100% certain, but I think it's because of the way you get used to windows mouse smoothing.

Years ago, I switched to having mouse smoothing off, and over a few weeks I got used to that. Now when I play games like Payday 2 or Witcher, it didn't 'feel' laggy anymore, because I was used to the linear mouse input, where as before, I was going from having smoothed mouse input on the windows desktop to having linear mouse input in the games, and it was very jarring and uncomfortable.

Auto detect best settings, make sure ubersampling is off. Turn vsync off. motion blur off (cause nobody likes it) then tweak with visual settings like shadows and lod. and do what witcher 1979 said then just set your sensitivity to what you like in game. This is what helped me.

Dude, this is a 6 year old thread. Are you serious? I still get notifications from this thread and it's quite hilarious to be honest.
