Mouse "acceleration"
Show me proof that editing the config or launch options to m_smooth "0" actually works.

I've tried it all. Console tells me that m_smooth is still set to 1 and the mouse feels like ♥♥♥♥.

One of the biggest concerns from PC players during the beta and still no fix. Come the ♥♥♥♥ on, iD.

It doesn't work. I don't believe when people say that the commands worked. I felt like I was going crazy

Test it yourself. It stays at m_smooth 1.

Analphabetic simpleton.

started playing today and the mouse acceleration is just terrible :(

Had the same problem. I was about to uninstall the game, but found a post on reddit about this.

Just type "+set m_smooth 0" into the launch options in steam and it should be gone.
But there's a catch, as soon as you go into the dev-console, config or whatever the game notices the change and reverts it back to 1, apparently it's somehow hardcoded into the game.

This made the game much more enjoyable and it feels really great now.
Hope this helps.

m_smooth is to adjust m_smoothing ^^
m_smooth will not work until u change m_smoothing to 1. default it is 0 and m_smoothing is the mouse smoothing funktion, not m_smooth.

edit: also it has nothing to do with mouse acceleration

Yup! Since i was stuck in "dev mode" for a while i wanted to play a bit withe console.
Many options are locked, even the cfg file is being overrided by something else i culd not find (for example if you rise the value to see more performance monitoring options, but they are set to "off" in the game menu, you will see your settings appearing at startup and immediately reverting to what it was set in-game).
Try adding +m_smooth 0 and +m_smoothness 1 to your steam launch options

Smoothing doesn't really have anything to do with accel?

I don't have any accel in doom, beyond the usual minor accel associated with using a laser mouse instead of optical.

Disable vsync would be advised, but you've all probably already done that

Yes, they're not the same and Doom does not have mouse acceleration.

Mouse acceleration is a setting where the cursor distances increases if the mouse is moved quickly.
Mouse smoothing is the interpolation of raw input data from the mouse in order to prevent jerky movement in low resolution mice.

Thing is, both distort the mouseinput and can make it feel weird, which is why both terms are often used interchangeably.

And there is still mouse lag. It's really just a few, but it's still there and drives me mad. I tried CoD cause I thought I'm going crazy, but CoD is running pretty exactly. There is mouse lag in Doom, even with vsync off and everything, and no way to fix it.

disable vsync ingame and force-enable vsync in driver settings... mostly this will help. if not lower ingame settings...

As I wrote, vsync is off (driver settings, too). Graphics low
