Mouse sensitivity
- When aiming down sights, even the smallest of mouse movements will cause the crosshair to "skip" several dozen pixels, interfering with the ability to aim precisely at small targets. This can be addressed in the following ways:
Change iron sights and scope sensitivity[citation needed] |
---|
ScopeMovementSensitivityMultiplierMin=0.8 ScopeMovementSensitivityMultiplierMax=0.25 AbsoluteMinScopeSensitivityMultiplier=0.1 LateralAmplitude=0 // Multiplier for how much the scope "drifts" horizontally. VerticalFrequency=0 // How quickly the scope drift goes through it's pattern Notes
