Gears 5

[DPI Wizard]

Sensitivity is the same as in Gears of War 4, Gears 5 even have the exact same acceleration issues...

[stereo3D]

i'm getting weird results for both gears 4 and 5.

with MDH 100 all 3 sensitivities should be the same value, but instead i'm getting very low ads and zoom sens values.

FOV got applied on the wrong value, fixed it now.

vertical sens seems to be much lower than horizontal.

longshot zoom deadzone is also back again. that was already patched in gears 4 and gears remaster.

I'll check that and probably adjust the aim and zoom FOV (slightly) later, they are not 100% exact at the moment. Analyzing this game is really difficult with the random acceleration and smoothing...

It sounds like a really poorly optimized game for PC.

Has there been any word on being able to tweak sensitivities a little more with the upcoming release of Gears 5?

I doubt it, it didn't change from Gears of War 4 so I think it's unlikely they will do anything more with it.

random acceleration and smoothing in 2019 just when i thought microsoft was starting to look out for us PC gamers.

also, when i convert my sens (i play on low sens) at 800 DPI it tells me 0s for all 3 values. Should i lower DPI to 400 or even lower to get more accuracy? I hate when they dont account for low sens users

thanks for your efforts as usual DPIwizard, always nice hopping into a new game with my same sens off the bat

@DPI Wizard could you measure the vertical sens too, please?

also a small suggestion: it would be convenient if the calculator told you the discrepancy for every aim, when using the aim - all option.

I'll see if I can add a "show discrepancy" button or something for this. Showing it by default will probably clutter up the output too much.

I'll also check the vertical FOV, but this is usually not done unless there's an option to change it. They haven't added this have they?

[stereo3D]

no, it's like the tech test.

i actually have a mouse that allows vertical dpi to be adjusted separately. too bad that logitech doesn't have this feature as well.

the mouse support has 3-4 problems:

1. polling rate affects sensitivity

2. vertical sensitivity lower than horizontal

3. long shot zoom "deadzone", especially in the vertical direction

4. high input lag with 60 fps. the mouse input needs about 120 fps to feel reasonably snappy.

mouse smoothing is on by default. the in-game option does nothing and the input.ini is ignored, so there is no fix.

@DPI Wizard

Is FOV accurate for gears 5 3440 x 1440 ultra widescreen monitors (21:9).  Right now it's always saying actual FOV = whatever I input, which I would find surprising to be the case based on what I've read on this site.

The calculator is fixing actual FOV to exactly match the input value and changing the vertical FOV based on the width resolution.  For example: a 3440 x 1440 resolution is outputting actual FOV of 100H and 53 V, but if I input 2650x1440 it outputs 100H and 67.7V.

Also, FYI, Gears 5 FOV limit is 100.

Fixed the FOV now as it Hdeg 16:9 and not Hdeg Res. Sensitivity also need a slight update now that it works much better than at release.

Thanks for the update!  What are some of the other changes?  Do you know if the comment about 500hz vs 1000hz polling rate still applies?

No actual changes in the sensitivity in the game other than it being consistent and easier to measure now. The old one is probably only by a few counts so it's hardly even measurable, but now I should be able to get it perfect. I'll check the polling rate also.

I dont know if this has been updated on the website but I am almost positive that the controller settings affect your mouse settings. I might make a new post since this one seem kinda old but the reason theres weird mouse behavior is because aim acceleration is at 10 in controller settings. I put this to 0 along with the deadzones just to be safe. This allows you to use 1000hz polling rate with no acceleration.

I'm trying to convert from apex to gears 5 but I think there's something I'm not getting right, why the 360° distance has so much difference?I've tested in game and about 30cm/360 should be 1 sens. Fov seems too low as well compared to apex.
what can it be?

@DPI Wizard - any support plans for Gears of War remaster?

bump on this

Just wanted to add that when I have a "Mouse Zoom Sensitivity" of less than 3 in this game, the tracking is terrible. If you move the mouse slow enough, tracking in any direction cuts out completely. Also there's some serious angle snapping. Tested on 2000 and 800 DPI.

Yeah, a lot of issues with smoothing, acceleration and deadzones in this game. Using a low polling rate reduces some of the issues, but doesn't solve them.
