Hi um,

 

So I noticed from videos that people have normal smooth mouse movements. Mine is 'delayed and slow' even with MAX desktop mouse sensitivity and in-game game-pad and mouse sensitivity + mouse smoothing off. When I maxed out my desktop mouse sensitivity, the mouse was smooth in-game but NOT in matches (the same no matter what..) With this slow a cursor movement I can never really play at an optimum.
 

Need some help and feedback. I don't think I'm using a gaming mouse just to put it out there.
Thanks in advance :)

A lot of people have success using low dpi and low in game sensitivity.

I use 750-1000 dpi and 8 in game.

There are quite a few threads about this subject that might offer some more help.

I'm curious as to what you mean by "maxed desktop sensitivity". If you're refering to the windows control panel options, you should always leave that sensitivity to the 6th notch, the very middle one. Setting it above or below can cause pixel skipping, windows does some weird scaling stuff with that slider.

 

As Incitatus mentioned, it's fairly popular in competitive gaming to use a lower DPI and then adjust your in game sensitivity accordingly. I use 400 DPI and I don't even know what for in game. But you mentioned you're not using a "gaming mouse" so DPI adjustments may not be an option for you.

 

As for the sluggish movement, I don't really know what to tell you, it's hard to know what you're actually experiencing. Could be you're just experience the normal hawken mouse movement, but it doesn't feel good to you. (the turn cap doesn't really feel very good, and can lead to a lot of placebo effects/misinterpretations till you get used to it.)

You may have noticed this already, but Hawken's turn rate cap is enforced by something akin to negative mouse acceleration. If you have the sense up to high you will run into it very easily and it will impede your ability to aim.

 

Try loading in and swiping your mouse across your pad first as fast as possible, then very slowly. That should give you some idea how the cap works.

I think Hyginos hit it.

 

I think you are noticing that Hawken uses a turn-rate cap.  It only allows your mech to turn at a certain maximum speed, based on which mech you are using.  It won't matter how high you set the sensitivity, in-game or in windows, your mech will not turn any faster.  The sensitivity will allow you to make adjustments to how much/fast your aim adjusts from still to the maximum turn for each mech, but that's it.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

I think I know what you are talking about specifically.

I recently tried to setup a laptop to play and had the in game mouse sensitivity set at 5 at one point and could not get my mech to turn our aim quick enough to point it felt like I was in molasses.

You will need to tune it in till you feel comfortable, offline bot tdm is good for this
