Slower mouse movement when aiming

[marbu]

That would be a cool feature, games like Chernobylite have it and it makes aiming alot easyer/smoother.

What you think?

 

Because currently aiming/zooming is pretty shaky.

Check settings, aim sensitivity is there.

You didnt get it, i just want it slower when you aim, not alltime.

[theFlu]

You didn't check, there's a separate sensitivity for aiming.

cool thanks ill check later, but why is mouse movement so shaky at all? other games have very smooth and great mouse movement? best mouse movement ive seen was in Chernobylite, Serious sam BFE, The Mist, The Infected and few other games. They all Unreal Engine games i think.

Hmm, "shaky." Might mean a lot of things. The only reason I know there's a setting for aim is because I had to figure out an issue that plagued my aiming.. After a patch, the aiming seemed really clunky. I was having to aim in front of zeds and wait for them to wobble to the cursor. A little further testing, and I realized I couldn't aim at a cactus at about 30 blocks away, only to the left or right of it - the cursor would move in increments of, I don't know, 10 pixels? I could feel my mouse moving, but not the crosshair, until the crosshair jumped too far.

 

That seems to have been a sensitivity issue thru and thru, and one which could be called "shaky", in a little too few words.

I wish that be fixed someday.

What is to be fixed? There is already a setting to adjust it if you have issues.

 

I personally don't find it to be shaky at all.

I ended up spending way too much time messing with my mouse; a Corsair Scimitar. I'll describe my situation since it might be relevant to OP (I still have no idea what the actual issue is though... )

 

The mouse can be set up to 16000 DPI, but the in-game sensitivity settings aren't able to support that; the lowest sensitivity is still way too fast. At around 3000 DPI, the lowest Look sensitivity becomes playable. Aim sensitivity seems to be settable even at 6k, but since the Look sensitivity is useless at that point, it makes no difference.

 

There may be a level of user error on my part, but at least my OS settings (Ubuntu) didn't seem to have an effect.

 

So, if I'd want to see an improvement, it would be to high-DPI situations being handled better. But again, user error is quite possible.

Also you might want to check your mouse settings in windows.  Turning off pointer precision can help in advanced mouse settings cause it does not play nice with some games.

Or try Xanax or Valium if what is holding the mouse is what is actually shaky...

ya know, no matter how great your mouse is and your settings are, a single hair across your lazer or a dirty mouse pad can easily ruin your best intentions.

 

Start with the most basic of basics 1st and work your way down the tech chain.

But I thought we needed those cookie crumbs to get that full sensation of traveling over rough ground and broken roads  😉

Oh I do that by putting my office chair on a bed of gravel. I need to try your method. I usually just leave crumbs in my WASD for extra frustration in tense dynamic situations. Best spot truly is under the space bar to ensure you miss those critical jumps.
