Can you disable autoaim when using a mouse and keyboard?

[Stride]

I can't stand how this game is making me use autoaim even when I'm using mouse and keyboard. Is their any way to fix this?

You must be confused. There is no mouse aim assist in this game.

Maybe you simply aren't liking the default acceleration. Google around to find out how to turn it off.

1 and a half year later and they still couldn't fully fix the game. This mouse assist is just stopping me from even liking this already unlikable game. I brought it thinking they have fixed all the issues by now. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ubisoft.

For people searching this after the sale recently (or just in general), there is no auto-aim when using k/m BUT if you have a controller plugged in, like I do for driving, the auto-aim will be enabled no matter if you are aiming with the mouse.

So UNPLUG/DISCONNECT your controller if you have this issue, it sucks but it's the only way I was able to fix it.

edit: It might have been placebo, it still pulls my cursor away I think... So much for headshots in this game, just spray and pray.

There 100% is auto aim in this game on kb/m. It pulls the crosshair without your input towards enemies (usually center of mass, making headshots difficult to pull off since you're fighting the auto aim)

Please don't gaslight people if you don't know what you're talking about

That is indeed Placebo, even with my controller not plugged it still pulls the mouse unfortunately :/

Hey Caramel, thanks very much for sharing these insights.

As you might know, there's no active development currently ongoing for Watch Dogs 1, so any updates are unlikely. That said, I've been sure to note all your feedback about autoaim on K&M controls, and we'll keep this in mind for future developments with our other projects.

I hope you've otherwise had a good time with Watch Dogs :)

I know this thread is old, but....

I completed Watch Dogs 1 a bunch of times. I remember playing it over again, right after beating it the first time, clearly I really liked the game.

I just started playing it again, for like the 4th playthrough, and I was immediately put off by the mouse. The strange behavior with the acceleration, and even worst was the aim assist. I started questioning my own memories, could I have never noticed it before now? Highly unlikely.

I found some old videos I had saved, and there was no sign of aim assist in them. Also, there's people online saying they never noticed any aim assist. So is it possible it's caused by some external factor? I tried uninstalling software like Xbox gamepad drivers, but nothings worked, yet.

I should add that I had never plugged a controller into my system when I played WD1. Only recently had I plugged in a controller, since my nephew uses them. This is why I think it may be related to gamepad drivers.

It Locks on a Car and the ENEMY gets out and shoots you then you aim again but it Locks outside the ENEMY and you need to AIM again maby then you can AIM at the ENEMY..
