- Basically any sensitivity selected below 0.4, seems to the crosshairs (sight) not respond to extremely slow mouse movements (fine adjustments), as if stuck and trying to move, it's a problem I already have for years forcing me to use very low dpi (causing pixelskipping in same cases) , since any sensitivity 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 on the selected options will cause the bug.
Over the years i have tested multiple settings, but nothing was effective, I do not know if somebody else is facing the same problem, if necessary will add some video or information required for the post.

Re: Bug with sensitivities below 0.4
Hey, I don't have a solution but I just wanted to thank you because I didn't know that you can "fix" this by raising the sensitivity to 0,4. Until now I was playing with 0,2 and just dealt with the stickiness.

Re: Bug with sensitivities below 0.4
I am playing with 0.3 and never noticed this. I have no issues aiming.

Re: Bug with sensitivities below 0.4
What's your DPI? Do you use mouse acceleration? Can you change your mouse DPI dynamically (I.E any number instead of a fixed one)?

Currently 500 dpi, acceleration always off, my mause has dynamic dpi change , but as I said, is a bug related to the engine, regardless of configs any sensibilidae below 0.4 causes the bug, so I can add a video to illustrate better. I'm sure this bug plagues many people over the years, without possess knowledge that is related to sensitivity.

Re: Bug with sensitivities below 0.4
Just tested it myself, yea it's definitely there and only when below 0.4. It's a bit odd as the camera seems to want to move (some pixels flicker, but the crosshair snaps back). It's probably some sort of smoothing that ends up rounding to 0 error and in order to solve those you need game-engine source code access (which devs don't have afaik, cause then this mod wouldn't be so buggy
).
It only happens when you move your mouse just enough distance to turn the camera roughly 1 pixel. I suppose your DPI is too high for you to be able to turn ~1 pixel?[R-DEV]Mats391 wrote:I am playing with 0.3 and never noticed this. I have no issues aiming.

Re: Bug with sensitivities below 0.4
I've played with .3 sensitivity for years and actually never really noticed this! I'm almost certain it's been like this since vanilla, and I have always just moved to the side ever so slightly (often on an shallow angle) to get that 1-2 pixel adjustment...
Also my vehicle sensitivity is .2, I have NEVER had that issue in a vehicle though.

It is strange because apparently seems to not affect everyone, being a very annoying bug because it prevents the use of higher values of DPI preventing sensitivity reduction.

Re: Bug with sensitivities below 0.4
Nope, I can adjust pixels just fine. It even is easier when I turn my DPI down.PeppeJ wrote: It only happens when you move your mouse just enough distance to turn the camera roughly 1 pixel. I suppose your DPI is too high for you to be able to turn ~1 pixel?
