Mouse acceleration

mcilrain · 11-03-2010, 09:07 PM

Is it just me or does the movement seem to heavily accelerate.

I really dislike this, I hope it gets fixed.

1cm of mouse movement should result in the same distance traveled on screen regardless of how fast that 1cm was traveled.

I agree, I always feel like I'm missing blocks that were easier to hit in the Wii version because of this. Also, the mouse still seems like it moves too fast, even with the sensitivity turned all the way down. Control's a lot looser than I'd hoped it would be with a mouse.

Yeah, it feels like the mouse is linked to an emulation of the Wii controller.

There is a reason I am using Steam and not OnLive, you know...

You can always try lowering the sensitivity in Windows. The mouse speed doesn't seem to be a problem on my side (in-game sensitivity to default, windows sensitivity to default, G5 mouse with dpi set at maximum value).

So unless your mouse has a dpi selector, I suggest trying to lower the sensitivity of the mouse motion through the control panel of Windows, it might do the trick if you want it lower for the game, though it's gonna be a hassle to change it every time just to play the game.

Forgot to mention I already tried lowering the sensitivity in the control panel, didn't seem to make a bit of difference in the game even when I had it set so low that I had to swipe it across the pad ten times in order to double click on the game icon in Steam.

I'm bumping this, as I notice it too. The game is simply unplayable for me. I barley even managed to get the descent potato on easy. I've been using 0 acceleration for years, and having acceleration in a game like this simply throws me off far too much.

Okay so I'm not alone to feel something crappy with the paddle/mouse.

Using DeathAdder on Mac OS X...

Worst mouse action ever. I'm guessing it's to do with the acceleration... Even when I exit the game it's super fast and I have to reset my drivers for it to go back to normal.... Terrible experience and makes the game that much harder.

This thread sure sounds familiar. I feel like I posted in a similar one a year ago. I spent forever dicking around with various settings in the game and using third-party tools trying to correct for the wacky acceleration used for both the mouse and gamepad, and I gave up eventually and just stopped playing the game because it's so frustrating and makes it so much harder than it needs to be.
