How to disable mouse acceleration?
This game has some sort of mouse acceleration enabled by default and I can't find a way to turn it off. There's nothing in the menus and I've even tried putting the "bViewAccelerationEnabled=False" line in the config files with no luck, testing a 360 spin over the same distance gives wildly inconsistent results. I know it's not my mouse as it works perfectly in multiple other games.

Google has yielded no real help on this, seems this isn't a popular topic for this game, but it's really getting in the way of letting me enjoy it. Any help is appreciated!

If you are using Windows 10 did you turn it off in the control panel?

or if you use a gaming mouse, use that little button that manually turns down the DPI.

This issue has nothing to do with DPI.

As I mentioned, I play multiple (read: dozens) of other shooter games without any mouse acceleration issues. This is specific to this game.

Not necessarily. Several people attribute issues to the game when it may not be the game at all but rather a setting in your system or some common software you have running. We all downloaded the same game. Yet many of us do not have the same issues. What is different is your configuration, specifically software. People often run various software thinking it is fine because their other games do not have an issue with it. The logically think said software is benign and could not be the culprit. Yet this often isn't the case.

Goto: C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\SpaceHulkGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Open:input.ini

Edit Line :bEnableMouseSmoothing=True

to: bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

I seem to have resolved the problem. I added the following line to the Input.ini file:

bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

I had originally added it to the Engine.ini file, but it seems this was not correct. Now I can get a consistent 360 spin no matter how fast I move the mouse! It still seems the vertical sensitivity is scaled compared to the horizontal sensitivity (feels like maybe half?) even though the Input file shows they have the same value. I'll spend some time tweaking that value later and see what happens.

Thanks for the responses!
