  • Summary: Even with mouse sensitivity set to highest, it's still too low.
  • Steps to Reproduce: Start game. Set mouse sensitivity to highest.
  • Frequency: 1/1
  • Severity: 2 (Only players with low sensitivity mouses will be annoyed)
  • Additional Notes: The mouse sensitivity in win7 settings has to be set to highest to have a normal mouse operation in win7 for this mouse.
  • System Specs: hp m-uv69a optical mouse, win7 professional

Given that this is your subjective opinion and not a technical flaw in the game (if the game crashed when you changed the mouse sensitivity, that would be a bug), this actually should go in suggestions.

You might also want to see if you can turn it up to an acceptable level on your particular system by editing HawkenInput.ini in (My) DocumentsMy GamesHawkenHawkenGameConfig but remember to make a copy first. Change MouseSensitivity= to a number higher than 20 (the normal limit).

I considered it a low severity technical flaw as I have to pick up my mouse to do a single 180 turn.

Thank you for the tip to alter the HawkenInput.ini, I will try that. This does seem a bit of a hack considering this hp mouse is pretty common.

It's not a hack by any means, but it's certainly not user-friendly. However, Closed Beta is rough around the edges, so it comes with the territory. Besides, let's say that you find that, oh.. I don't know.. 25 is the perfect sensitivity. That might be a sign for the devs to bump the limit to 30.

By the way, if you hit boost and backwards (shift+s with the default keybindings), you do a snap 180 turn. It's supposed to be slow and difficult to do a manual 180 by turning. You may have done this accidentally trying to boost backwards, or walking backwards while still holding the shift from a sideways or forward boost a moment before.
