(But there's no clear instructions on how to use this, so it's pointless to include it...)
Input settings
Minimize mouse acceleration and smoothing effect
- The mouse curve was improved in patch 1.5.0.[3]
- Disabling acceleration from the menu still leaves some acceleration and smoothing enabled. Disabling all values from the configuration file should minimize the effect.
- Acceleration cannot be disabled completely.
- Low DPI mice are more susceptible to this issue.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[4] |

|
Toggle aiming down sights (ADS) for weapons
- Does not work while in vehicles
Edit GamerProfile.xml to add IronsightToggleMode[5] |
