[Linux] Mouse sensitivity too high

[Techno]

Hi,

just bought the game for linux in the sale and wanted the test the single player campaign. Unfortunately the mouse sense is too high to play even on the smallest possible setting.

I have a Zowie FK1 mouse on 1600dpi with disabled mouse acceleration using libinput on Arch Linux.

I also have The Talos Principle and there it is ok when i put the mouse sense slider to the most left.

Hoping for a fix. Thank you.

You can have a more direct control over mouse sensitivity using the console variable like this

prj_fMouseSensitivity=0.01

Use Tilde or F1 to invoke the console.

Life saver, thanks :D

I also recommend to get a mouse with a DPI switch. That works wonders for all games and you don't have to mess with the settings on everything. Just switch as needed on the fly.

I do (G502), but it's already on the lowest setting. Plus I'm used to low-sensitivity from CS:GO and Insurgency, which makes shooters hell if they limit how far I can lower the sensitivity. Can't hit anything. ^^

I'm not sure why the sliders in the settings don't just let you input numbers too, like you can with this command. That would make things a ton easier without negatively affecting players with different habits.

It's a double edged sword. If in-menu sliders allowed too extreme numbers, for most people that's a risk they will drag to one extreme and then be confused by the result. That's why we do it this way and leave the cvars to pros like yourself.

I see your point.
How about leaving the slider as is, and adding an "advanced settings" checkbox that allows numerical input? Just a thought.

[AlenL]

There's the universal advanced settings for everything - press Tilde key. ;)

Good point. :)
On the other hand every engine uses different commands, and had you not replied to this post I'd have no idea what to do. So it's basically making people dependent on friendly developers' willingness to engage with the community.

Oh, well, but that's why I'm here. :)
Really, I'm actually probably stealing the words from may experienced players who could have answered just the same. The console is well documented and has a very useful auto complete. Just type "sensitivity" or "mouse" ans press Tab, and you'll get it.

Fair enough, you convinced me. I'll do a bit more research upfront next time. ;)
