Here's how to adjust mouse sensitivity

[TheNoobPolice]

Whilst this is probably a good few years too late, I haven't seen this solution posted anywhere so thought I'd share it.

This game has a camera slider in the options menu of 11 notches to control the mouse sensitivity that correspond to 11 preset sensitivity values in the game engine, but for a lot of people this has a very limited range and in some cases it is just too slow, even on the maximum setting.

The good news is you can change the values that each of these notches set via a simple .ini file tweak.

First, head to %USERPROFILE%/Documents/My Games/Styx/StyxGame/Config

Then with a text editor, open the file StyxSettings.ini

Scroll to the 17th line, and it should look something like this:

SettingDescs=(Key="MouseSensitivity",DisplayKey=,Values=("1","3.6","5.2","6.8","8.4","10","12","14","16.2","18","20")

These 11 comma-separated values are the Unreal Engine 3 sensitivity values that the slider in the menu selects.

Best approach is to set the slider to the nearest for your preference, and then adjust the value in the .ini file to fine tune it. In my case, I use the third from the top, and set it "16.2", instead of "16" (it accepts decimals).

The bad news is that the game will load with the values saved in this file and then each time you change the camera slider in the game, will overwrite the values with what it was loaded with regardless of any changes you make after. As such, you need to quit the game, edit & save the file, and then reload the game to make adjustments.

UE3 doesn't have a standard engine yaw value, rather uses an arbitrary fixed base number divided by the sensitivity value, which is often calculated from FOV, so it's not easy to know what to set it to before trial and error without a lot of reverse engineering, but since there is a fair amount of smoothing on the input anyway it doesn't really need to be ultra precise - but at least it is possible to set a camera speed higher than "20" or to fine tune it a little.
