Mouse sensitivity workaround
Logitech DPI Script[4]

- Only works with Logitech gaming mouses, and if your aim key for the game is assigned on a mouse button.
- Default script is set to trigger when pressing the right mouse button. This can be changed by looking up the commands in the 'Scripting API' in the 'Help' tab of the scripting window.
- Download the Logitech Gaming Software.
- Make sure to use the 'Automatic Game Detection' mode in the 'Home' menu.
- Add a new profile in the 'Custom buttons' menu by either scanning for new games, and selecting 'The Club', or adding the 'TheClub.exe' file manually.
- In commands menu, add the 'DPI Up' and 'DPI Down' commands from the 'Mouse Function' tab. They will now show up in the commands list, but do not add them to any buttons.
- In the 'Customize pointer settings' menu, enable per profile pointer settings. Make sure to set two DPI settings of your choice. Make sure to set a default sensitivity, preferably the highest DPI setting.
- Click on the down arrow for the profile, and click on 'Scripting'. Paste this command, and save the script:
function OnEvent(event, gkey, family)
if event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and gkey == 2 then
PlayMacro("DPI Down")
elseif event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_RELEASED" and gkey == 2 then
PlayMacro("DPI Up")
end
end

Increased game speed
Cheat Engine Speedhack
|
- Some hardware configurations experience an issue where the game runs at 125% normal speed, speeding up running and reloading
- Download the latest version of Cheat Engine
- When in-game attach Cheat Engine to
TheClub.exe
- Tick the "Enable Speedhack" Option
- Set the Speedhack multiplier to 0.75
- Click Apply
- Unknown if this causes any side effects but does set the game to run at normal speeds.
