Mouse Acceleration in a shooter game????

[PHiX]

Title says it all. Why is there mouse accel in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shooter game? What did the devs smoke to think that this is a good idea?

Its especially grueling because the acceleration is negative for some reason. Slow mouse movements are faster than fast mouse movements. WHAT. THE. ♥♥♥♥. lmfaooo

Yeah, I noticed that. I got used to mouse acceleration over the years and can't do without but it is inverted. Moving the mouse slowly makes the camera rotate faster. Increasing the camera sensitivity only makes it worse.

Asked for the playtest.

Got to the tutorial.

Tried to set up my sensitivity.

Noticed the negative mouse acceleration.

Alt+f4 uninstall.

Relax drama queen, it's not that serious. I bet you don't even know Windows has a built in mouse acceleration feature at the OS level and it's on by default.

And every shooter game out there (inmcluding this one) uses the raw input API which negates windows' built in mouse accel...

I mean there's auto lock on... Anyways this might get fixed after the beta.

Sigh... As an ancient HAWKEN player, I can explain: Its not negative mouse acceleration, it a turn rate cap. Certain actions, like using Hurricane and Inferno's giant beam attacks, or Falcon and Skyraider's flight mode, slow down how fast you can turn by quite a bit.

It only FEELS like negative acceleration, because the faster you move your mouse, the shorter duration you move it for. So if you move it faster than the current turn rate allows, you will turn less than you expect.

This is a gameplay feature, NOT a problem. You need to get used to it, instead of complaining, because its not going to change. Simply remember that you need to move your mouse smoothly and slowly, instead of spazzing out all the time, and you'll be fine. Its not like this is a crazy fast twitch shooter with ultra precise aiming, anyway.

Or play on controller, since sensitivity changes are easier to get used to with an analog stick.

Then tell me how I'm supposed to hit a "turn rate cap" while aiming down sights with Narukami's sniper for example?? MY MECH IS NOT EVEN TURNING AT ALL while shooting at far away targets lmfao

And how is there a "cap" in the first place if there's no strict cutoff point in turn speed?

This game has the defintion of negative mouse acceleration built in. Period. A turn rate cap that actually works can be found in games like Armored Core 6, etc.
