I was just as amazed why anyone would use acceleration, but it's used alot. I've never met a CS or BF player using it, but I know a few Quake players that told me its used alot. And what you say now just makes me wonder even more why there is negative acceleration on the X-axis and positive on the Y-axis in Dayz. :-) http://www.reddit.com/r/truegaming/comments/1l8vy4/the_case_for_mouse_acceleration/ http://www.overclock.net/t/951894/the-truthful-mouse-guide http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2575532

Well, actually alot of pro gamers use (positive!) mouse acceleration, in games like Quake, where you often need to make very fast 180° turns. But the mouse in Dayz feels like an old broken Toyota Corolla from the 80's, where Quake feels like an Aston Martin, when it comes to mouse lag :-P And then it is completely impossible to have any kind of muscle memory. Personally I also prefer no acceleration at all. But if I had to choose between negative or positive I would pick positive without thinking a second about it. That is atleast playable. I understand that they don't want people to aim like it was CS. But I don't think that they should achieve this with forced acceleration. I actually like the default blur when moving the aim fast. And it could also be solved easily if the M4 was a very rare weapon, instead people having handguns and inaccurate civil weapons, maybe a huge spread in your shots right after moving your aim - the faster you move the more it spreads :-) Actually I should also mention that since my previous post where I havent played at all, I gave it a shot and alot of tweaking with settings, and the game was more playable with mouse smoothing at like 50%. The mouse still feels bad, like I'm using a very old ball mouse. But playable! Yay!

Good Talk.....

Have you tried all of the performance enhancing settings? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154330-possible-fps-enhancer/

To all of you that bitch about people demanding a mouse acceleration fix.... This has nothing to do with christmas to do, this is something "we" have waited for in a very long time. From the first day of playing Dayz mod with a few friends, I was hooked. Unfortunately I have played very little since then, simply because it is impossible for me to enjoy a game with such bad acceleration as Dayz. Two of my friends which I play with alot have no issues with acceleration. I have a few theories as to why...... I played CS from beta and maybe 6-7 years, at competitive level, spending alot of time customizing my mouse settings, and choosing mice out of other criterias than "cool looks". My friends have always played casually and probably never played one single game more than Dayz. They have no idea what sensitivity, acceleration or mouse smoothing is. They just play. I envy all of you who doesn't think mouse acceleration is an issue in Dayz, but for alot of people IT IS! Ofcourse it looks stupid to scream and complain when the patch is released right after christmas, but the fact is that this has not been fixed for ages. I have had countless conversations with friends about Dayz standalone release, the wait was unbearable! All because it was mentioned by the developers that mouse acceleration WOULD BE FIXED IN DAYZ STANDALONE! This is pretty much the only reason that I bought, installed and played the standalone. Only to discover that not only is negative mouse acceleration NOT fixed - now it is positive acceleration on the Y-axis and negative on the X-axis. And to you people saying this can be fixed in Windows with a patch ....... If you don't know what you're talking about the please keep quiet. This is an ingame issue. I honestly don't give a flying f..k about the bugs in the game other than mouse acceleration issues. Maybe it's because I can't experience the game because it is completely unplayable. For us acceleration-sensitive people atleast.

Mouse Smoothing is NOT the same as Mouse Acceleration...

I have been waiting for the release of SA only for negative mouse acceleration to be fixed... Now there is positive acceleration on the Y axis and negative acceleration on the X axis... What the f**k?! Aiming in Dayz SA is insanely bad, I just can't understand why someone can play this game without noticing it.

As far as I know you can't turn it off at the moment. This is exactly what ruined Dayz Mod for me, and what is currently ruining standalone... I just can't understand how a mouse controlled game can be this horrible! And especially since Rocket said in interviews that it would be fixed in standalone. Oh well lets hope that they will fix it soon.
