Re: How to turn off mouse acceleration?

@Chaosboy95

Seems pretty much the same issue to me, this is the issue as mentioned in this thread ?  which is similar issue albeit in a different game i linked in my first post.

If this long standing issue isnt what you have going on may be need to explain it a bit better

No. WoW does not use cursor/camera smoothing tied to FPS, never has. Swtor does. That's why it is a different issue. It is combined with the unnecessary mouse acceleration that Swtor forces on you, combined with the badly designed cursor feature in the game. I don't spin "180 degrees", it just turns the camera in any direction opposite of where I am looking, once in a while randomly, on top of the annoying to look at obvious mouse smoothing/acceleration that makes it feel delayed.

This is the issue https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/3ba0df/mouse_acceleration_problem_its_2015/
The other guy probably just doesn't notice the mouse acceleration, but it's definitely there. There's tons of posts about it. Even in his "related links", there's a community manager/member acknowledging the flicking/spinning portion has been there since launch - yet, it hasn't been fixed, or raw mouse input hasn't been added?

@Chaosboy95

Just to check this issue isnt the same see this link  so you are not getting mouse random mouse acceleration ?

 I will go to turn or strafe or whathaveyou and suddenly my camera spins way too far and i have no idea where I am even pointed anymore

Doesn't sound like it's random on all the issues posted about it, but yes, I am getting mouse acceleration and/or smoothing, that occassionally makes the camera turn hard randomly. If you google swtor mouse acceleration/smoothing, there are tons of posts about it, dating back to when the game launched, with still no actual solution. It's not so much the random spinning that's the main issue, but the camera just feels generally annoying to move, due to the acceleration/smoothing. It makes it feel delayed.

@Chaosboy95

Looked at this issue a long time, here is an old thread back in 2014 I posted in - http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=743479

I believe the issue is related to the other links but what acts as a workaround changes on hardware used.

I do recall a thread where someone dropped the DPI on his mouse and it stopped occurring but again think that is a workaround rather the a solution

Even if I wanted to, I can't put it any lower. Zowie mice can only go down to 400 DPI. I'm getting a new mouse soon anyway, so I'll see if that somehow fixes it.

But thanks for trying to help man 🙂

@Chaosboy95

The guy in this link applied the same fix as mentioned in the wow links and seems it did help 

last post in that link also seems to relate back to this link about camera rotation speed somehow changing  

@Chaosboy95

Did you apply the Disable high dpi scaling to both launcher.exe and swtor.exe or just the game shortcut ?

@Chaosboy95

I do not have any major issues with camera rotation and i am using a logitech G900 for reference

I do have the game shortcut , launcher.exe and swtor.exe (all 3) set as shown below , no idea if it will help but it is how I have mine set.

@Chaosboy95

i really do not recall to be honest, it is 10:17pm here and have to work tomorrow, let me log in tomorrow evening my time and have a play to refresh my memory.

I do recall things like spinning my character like a cyclone has no lag or stutter effects

Hello. Every time my FPS just goes slightly below my monitors refresh rate (144 hz), the mouse starts to get very laggy/jittery/skippy, and generally feels like it gets acceleration, and occassionally spins out as well.

This is the only game I've got this problem with, and the spin out/acceleration issue seems to be quite common, albeit never really been tied to refresh rate, until now.
I've got "Disable high dpi scaling" enabled for both the game itself, and the launcher.

Putting the game to a lower refresh rate doesn't help either, it still starts skipping when going below my monitors native refresh rate.

@Chaosboy95 I've combined your two threads since they're about the same issue.

As far as troubleshooting goes, I don't think you mentioned trying any other mice, is that something that you can test just to see if the behaviour changes?
