Dead Space was a lot better, in terms of mouse support, than RE5; unless something in my RE5 config is wrong.Swiftstrike5
Well not as good as dead space:(dakan45

Wow.. Never thought I'd hear anyone say that Dead Space had better mouse control than ANY other game. And especially not two people in one thread.. :lol:


Well these games have two entirely different problems with mouse support- Dead Space uses mouse acceleration/smoothing (which can not be disabled), which alters the speed at which the cursor moves based on how fast the player moves the mouse (I didn't even finish the game because I felt like didn't have control over my character). Resident Evil 5 has an entirely different "problem"- it doesn't force mouse smoothing/acceleration at all, but the mouse sensitivity while moving your character (either walking or running) is lowered by a huge amount. In most third-person shooters, mouse sensitivity during walking does not change (e.g. Gears of War, Dark Sector, Battlefield Heroes). In my opinion, this change in sensitivity during walking is the only pitfall of Resident Evil 5's mouse support, but a HUGE one at that. It makes the game unpleasant to play at times, because like in Dead Space, sometimes I feel as though I don't have complete control over my character.


I think that the mouse control while standing, looking around, aiming, or running is fine, but the mouse control while walking has a negative impact on gameplay.

Setting mat_picmip -3 will increase texture quality greatly and will result in very detailed textures with minimal performance loss. However, at the moment, mat_picmip with a value lower than 0 and higher than 2 requires sv_cheats 1 to be on.Einhanderkiller
I realize how old this post is, but he's confusing mat_picmip with r_lod (or maybe it was considered a cheat in 2007 and I'm wrong). Changing r_lod lower than 0 or higher than 2 is a cheat.

So whatifgaming went on ranting about how Dead Space PC is perplexed by what seems to be some of the worst controls ever.

What a freakin load of bull. I'm 5 hours into the game and I see absolutely no problems with the controls.

Seems to me like they're just telling lies to promote consoles. Although I don't really see why.

So apparently YOU don't have mouse issues. Other people do. My problem is that when I aim, the cursor does not move at all unless I move the mouse faster than normal. Nothing fixes it. And as you have to aim to shoot, the game is unplayable with mouse and keyboard. And I don't like using a gamepad for FPSers. So my money is wasted because of mouse smoothing.
