Disable mouse smoothing?
The movement of the camera seem to be smoothed out when looking around the world which reduces accuracy for aiming and generally feels annoying. I have tried adding bEnableCameraSmoothing=False to the Input.ini file, since something similar was suggested for ASE, but it's not effective. I can't find anything for it in settings. Any ideas?

I haven't even checked the ini file for things like this yet I think its moire likely that what feels like mouse smoothing can sometimes be either mouse acceleration or input lag caused by low fps. If your framerate is fine when this is happening, I would check if theres a mouse acceleration option to turn off. You may also see a difference by changing the "Nvidia reflex low latency option" in the game's trx menu if that is available to you
I do sometimes experience what you're describing but I find it coincides with when my fps drops below 60
Turning off fluid and foilage interaction did improve things for me and made little visual difference

You using framegen? That results in "laggy" mouse feeling

They no mouse smoothing, your using frame gen with too low base FPS, which create a floating effect of the controls, basically bad input lag caused by frame gen

when you turn on the frame rate lock, it causes a lot of input lag

there's something, whether its smoothing, acceleration or negative acceleration. literally find a point to look at and put your mouse against the side of your keyboard or something else to stop it and see if you return to the same point when you move your mouse to the right and back left again.

Your using frame gen, which causing laggy input.

Or you using in game frame lock instead of a riva tuner frame lock.

If your not using frame gen then it has be your computer, maybe cpu can't keep up.

The game does not have mouse smoothing.

I don't have a 40 series card, just a 3080. I don't use rts or frame limiters anymore since I got a gsync ultimate monitor. If you think I'm wrong I will take the time to make a YouTube video showing you that when you aim left and right, your mouses physical position will always be different when aiming back to the same point. Other Games I play a lot such as Deep Rock Galactic & Insurgency: Sandstorm the physical distance for the mouse always ends up in the same exact point if I test it. That's how I know it's not my mouse or PC settings. I'm to a point where I'm so involved in finding a fix because it feels horrible to not have consistent linear aiming. There is something going on. Same issues with Remnant 2. If I make a YouTube video will you watch it and tell me your thoughts? I'll show what I'm talking about. I really want people to understand

old ark had mouse smoothing by default and only way to remove it was by editing a game file, i have not looked into asa yet but im pretty sure it will have the same mouse smoothing by default ( ive played it and it sure feels like mouse smoothing same as old ark )

also for setting your sensitivity you would do it in game file due to the sliders being horrible and impossible to match to your settings of your aim trainer, this would also be set in the same game file as the mouse smoothing fix. and if you touched the sensitivity sliders well in game it would erase your settings causing you to re do the game file

there is definitely mouse smoothing i have went in test maps that gave me a solid 240-300 fps to make sure it wasnt my game and yes there is mouse smoothing its really irritating for pvp also noticed that asa has terrible latency in general like at 240 fps you still get like 7-10ms so it makes the mouse smoothing way worse

so i checked out the game files and looked through the game settings, its no longer called mouse smoothing. you can disable it in game settings for first person view, but on third person it is still there. you can also set sensitivity using numbers instead of a bar.
