Important fix for mouse stutter when moving camera!!

[Greg]

It took me days to finally fix this stupid thing left by Guerrilla Games but haven't you also noticed that the camera stutters when you move it around with mouse and keyboard? (not with controller). Especially visible when using frame generation, to fix this head over to Registry Editor then find HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Guerilla Games > Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered > Input > EnableMouseSmoothing, double click it and set the value to 0 and then press "Okay", and that's it, enjoy a buttery smooth experience using frame generation with mouse and keyboard, let me know if it works for you

The only "stuttering" is Aloy's animation-rubberbanding on keyboard and mouse when aiming and panning. And thats because it tracks a polled input instead of an analog input and that means it "trails" it in a digital manner.

But I dont notice any stuttering when panning the camera, with or without this fix.

It's not an actual stutter as in frametime, it's the camera being shaky with frame generation enabled, I don't know about you but this completely fixed the problem for me.

No problem for me with my Ryzen 5800X and RX6600 since the beginning, everything is perfect. Minor bugs have been fixed and probably will be for the rest. Even the flaws are minimal compared to the improvements. I find that this remaster is as great as the original with West's graphic quality: it remains for me the best of the episodes, and the best game of all time, for me.

Can you stop flexing your setup on every discussion?

Can't really explain why that would fix your problem. Dont see the connection between frame generation and mouse input, other than your particular mouse/sensor not liking that feature. Frame Generation doesn't even use mouse input as a motion vector, it looks at the difference between the two frames.

I believe you when you say it, but it doesn't make sense to me. Ah well.

Why would giving lowish-midrange specs be a flex? I dont consider my 5800X3D + RX 6800XT to be anything special either.

I had the same issue and used this fix almost since the release.
And I posted it multiple times in various threads.

Someone even replied that it helped him even though he was playing with a controller. :)

Might be related to the mouse you're using or your the driver or other hardware or settings or whatever. Either way, I always had this slight micro-stutter when turning with the mouse and turning of mouse smoothing fixed that...

Um, that's not a flex, it's a 'courtesy' so people can have an idea what he's running it on relative to their own. It's an RX 6600, not an RX 7999.99 XTXTXT-XT ULTRA+PRO+1 GamerBling RGB!!!1 Some people demand it any time you post an issue, so they can then attack you for not having a $1899.99 GPU made no longer than a week ago, of unicorn horns, and 99.9% pure unobtanium with golden fairy dust powder coating.

Back on topic, I tested this tweak a while back and did not find it to help, though I really had no problem with the mouse to begin with. It did make the sensitivity much lower so I went from a 4.80 setting to 7.10 or so to compensate. I do not use frame generation either though, so...dunno.

Yup I even posted a guide on this. Should be a basic on/off option, but nope.

It's basically what OP wrote. Applies to both Horizon 2 & Horizon 1 remaster. What do you mean by other tips like this? There's nothing you can disable/enable to get a magical smoothness boost aside from the crappy forced mouse acceleration.

Yep, but in HFW, it makes the sensitivity SO low, that even at max I could not compensate, so had to leave EnableMouseSmoothing on.

I was digging around in there trying to see if I could scale the HUD smaller like in the original, but no joy. there was "HUDScaling"=dword:00000000, but I could not find any setting that worked, or that went with it, like HUDScaling=1 and another for HUDScale=75% (didn't exist) for example.

1600 dpi + 4.0 ingame sensitivity is fast enough. Feels ♥♥♥♥ ton of times better than the stuttery mouse accel

Yep, I imagine it will for most people. I use low 800-1000 DPI on my mouse though, which would explain why mine is too low with the tweak. I don't mind the default mouse movement though, so all good. In HZD Remake, I did the tweak and adjusted the sensitivity to compensate, but could not really see a difference afterward, so just put it back to default. Mine is pretty smooth already.
