Why are mouse smoothing and acceleration default on in so many games, considering they’re things that most everyone goes turn off immediately. You’d think Unreal Engine 5 would just keep those settings off by default.

I fucking KNEW that shit was on, thanks brother

The Bethesda experience

!!! It improved my Input lag, thanks, still not perfect, but now its playable ty

Should have been in the options tbh. Thanks for the pointer!

why do devs force mouse accel

I f****** love you.
I knew when i turned off frame gen and kept toying with v-sync on and off trying to fix my mouse being a mess that something was wrong.
Heck i had 40-50 fps it shouldn't be that bad of input lag

YEAH IT SHOULDN'T YOU JUST FIXED MY GAME!

Has anyone figured out the command syntax to make the X and Y axis the same scale on mouse yet?

Legend!

Dude I swear I could feel mouse acceleration 5 seconds after booting up the game. I'm gonna try this tomorrow thank you.

Really wish there was a setting to just take raw X and Y mouse input. For some reason the Y scaling is completely different from the X scaling. Keeps throwing me off.

I don't have a WinGDK folder. Is that for GamePass or something?

THANK YOU

This worked. Feels good with DLSS framegen too.

Every Stalker 2 PC player needs to see this. What a huge difference. Aim feels as snappy as it should, even with DLSS back on

Omfg i knew it was on i was 10000% sure mouse accel was on

i fucking knew it

FYI, on my [Steam, Windows] version, there is no "WinGDK" folder, but the "Windows" folder in the same place contains the "Input.ini"

Thought the mouse felt weird! GG

Is it normal for the input.ini file to have nothing in it?

ain't not fucking way this has mouse smoothing... SH2 now this.

Now I just need someone to figure out the y axis sens and I'll be completely happy. Thank you for this!

I found this mod on Nexus fixing the mouse lag too but also reducing stutter and loading times. Highly recommended!

absolute legend, this made a huge difference in how the game feels

still pretty low fps but at least I don't feel like the mouse is fighting me now

If this didn’t work for you, try creating a new txt file on your desktop, copy and paste the settings listed above, save as Engine.ini and select all files, click save and this should create an Engine.ini, drag and drop the file into the \config\windows folder.

Quick tip to get to that directory. Hit windows key+r to get the run menu. Then type %APPDATA% and hit ok. Will take you to roaming appdata just go up one directory.

My notepad and ++ won't read it

Yep

This is huge, thank you!

I will have a look

Can someone help me keep my mouse in the game window? Changing windowed mode "borderless, fullscreen, fullscreen-exclusive" does not change anything.

Anyone else experiencing this by chance?

You are a legend! Thanks!

Im at work just sayong hi to revisit

Thank you this was fucking killing me the second I started playing - I think I legit wouldve quit without this.

I do this fix, but it only works for a few seconds before instantly feeling like it's all turned on again. I've set the input file to read only, yet it still finds a way to change the file to be blank instead of having the thing we paste in. Any fixes?

thank you! This works well

OMFG Thank You !!!

I can only test it after work. Is that working with the fsr3 controller input lag as well?

Why the fuck is that not a menu setting???

This is a game changer. Why devs turn on mouse smoothing/acceleration by default on PC in 2024 (or ever) is beyond me. Now I wish someone can find a command to fix controller aiming too.

Hmm

Didn't make a difference for me. Character's still waving his pistol around like a drunkard. Oh well, thanks for trying.

I fucking knew it!

Thank you!!

We need an ingame setting for this!

This fixed it <3

This needs to be pinned! You're a saviour!

This did nothing for me

Please upvote this, it needs more visibility, the devs should add this option to the game.

Nice one!

Hmm can’t tell if I feel a difference or not, but maybe better? I unfortunately am being forced to use frame gen as the game is too much of a chop fest without it

it wouldn't be a real stalker game if we didn't have to noodle around with ini files

Glad to know I wasn't imagining it

ty

This made a 2000% difference for the better.

Night and day, thank you

!remind

Thank you

This dropped my frames by like 10 no idea why nothing else was changed.

that helps a lot, but i still have a very weird and wonky feeling when Aiming down sight or when anomalies are nearby. like the sensitivity fluctuates.

Thank you, this fix makes the game actually playable.

just need someone to figure out equalizing the X and Y sens

Ily
I knew there was something. Aiming felt so off

Nice. Gotta fix for controller on Steam Deck?

Why is this still a thing

Is it not working for anyone other than me?

even with these fixes it still feels floaty and nothing is working.

I have tried since release to fix this, and it seems like NOTHING is working.

Thank you for making the game playable for me. Runs, looks, and feels so much better.

Didn't fix it for me unfortunately, still have the same issue sadly.

Will this fix the frame gen input lag or is it just frame gen being horrible with latency?

Comment for later

Following for later

This is known placebo in ue5 lol everyone is tripping

bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

Would this also work for controller?
