WTF is with the mouse sensitivity in this game??

[Twaha]

I really wanted to play this game, I was looking forward to learning more about cars and how they worked etc. but I cannot because of the horrible mouse sensitivity, you know what I mean.

And it looks like it'll never be fixed: https://steamcommunity.com/app/645630/discussions/0/1473096599328215301/#c1473096599328220556

It's 2020 and this game came out in 2017. The fact that there are games out there that still have this issue is absolutely moronic and game breaking. How can a dev make such a cool, in-depth and educational game but completely ruin the most important part of it (the controls) arguably the most simplest aspect?! And then go on to make it sound like it's a non-problem? Like, that's some idiotic way to go about it. You're literally losing sales because you're too full of yourselves to fix an issue that has been there since launch.

Once you play the game a little bit - you do get used to it. I would like for them to improve it but it is not going to happen. There's a lot of other things needed first IMO.

I play a lot of FPS games so probably why I'm so annoyed by this, I've work on my aim so having to get used to this would completely ruin my aim in those FPS games.

I really wish the devs would just take their fingers out their arses and fix it but like you said, it's not going to happen.

Might as well get my refund while I can.

You just have to turn off "Controller Acceleration" in game settings. Then increase controller sensitivity to compensate. It's not a perfect solution but, helps considerably.

Or get a gaming mouse that lets you control the mouse's DPI on the fly.
Then you can just drop the dpi while in-game, and bring it back up when done.

(Plus, their buttons are a lot tougher than standard mouse buttons and are rated to last longer)

Never had an issue with mouse in this or any other game for the past 7years with win 7 and now with win 10. Am I unique or something? Lol play it with an Xbox hard wired controller, it works just as well.

This should be marked as the correct answer.

no? I have a gaming mouse, i can change my DPI but it's frustrating to have to keep doing that. it's gonna ruin my gameplay experience.

it's not "the correct answer". the correct answer would be the devs sorting it. anyway i don't care, i've got my refund, good game but devs are morons.

If you followed my suggestions on mouse and ones in thread "Too much lag-fps..." you may just need to exit out to main menu then load back in again. The lag / stutter will make it seem like mouse not working for a second each time you move. I had an issue where an update to my system was causing issues for my mouse. Forget how I found it finally and then rectified it but, my mouse has worked great ever since.

yeah the mouse movement sucks

I'm just using an ordinary wireless mouse. Works great no lagging at all. I just move the mouse to where ever I want it in the menus or playing the game and it follows on the screen right where I want it immediately just the same as if I was using it on the Windows desktop. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones??

I have a wireless Logitech mouse and solar wireless keyboard, it works absolutely fine too.
Must be their USB port setting or mouse driver, or even windows settings??

If that were the case then it should be happening on every game i play. it's poor game design plain and simple.

Not necessarily but, you would probably see SOME issue in some other things. There's no doubt about it, mouse acceleration is an issue and it's affects are different for different system configurations. Sometimes it's just a matter of fine tuning settings in the OpSys or removing a duplicated and / or corrupted driver. I even had an issue where an app left dll's behind after uninstalling which were causing conflicts with my mouse--was very difficult to track down btw.
I still stand by my advice though.... simply change "Game settings" "Controller Acceleration" to NO and increase Controller Sensitivity to compensate.... mine is at 120%

Sorry mate but why have a gaming mouse if it's "frustrating" to change the dpi, and "ruins the gameplay experience"...? Isn't the whole point of such a mouse to tailor it to different games? And is there any real need to insult the devs? I think there's a t missing somewhere.....

But how can it be poor design, if it works fine for the majority of people; saying majority because if it wasn’t then it would be a significant problem therefore a patch would be required.

I do know through decades of building and gaming, that this is a very demanding game if your hardware isn’t performing well or your pushing the boat out in the graphics dept. When I had my GTX 660 Ti, it would struggle a tad in movement. So my bet is there is, If it’s not a driver or setting, an underperforming piece of hardware that is struggling. Remember you can have all your 8-16 core CPUs in the world, but if a game performs better on one fast core,then your stuffed if your CPU isn’t great on one. Just an example Ok. Lower all your settings, I know it’s hard to think like that, but just try it. PC gamers are notorious for bragging, we’ve all done it. But sometimes it’s about facing up to an ageing system or component or your new system just can’t churn out the FPS because of game engine etc. There’s tons games like My Summer Car that, yes it’s EA, that kill systems. This isn’t one of them though. I do have an EVGA GTX 1060 6gb SC and that was a HUGE performance jump
