High DPI on Tarkov makes you look to fast when holding middle mouse - FIX

[bread94]

Hey,

 

So I like to play on 3200 DPI but this is a pain in Tarkov because then you HAVE to use the config file every time you want to change sens and you turn to fast when holding middle mouse to look left and right.

 

Well, I've found a way to get the numbers you need for the sensitivity within the in-game range while at high DPI and also lower the speed at which you turn while using the middle mouse function: simply open the config file shared.ini as you would to change your sens normally and then search for 'TurnY' and 'TurnX' and lower the first two 'sensitivity' values. (there are also a 'LookX' and 'LookY' but I didn't find any change from these, leave them be, it can be easy to get mixed up)

 

Depending on what DPI you use depends on how much you will want to lower this. For me, as I use 3200 DPI and the value is '5.0' by default, I lowered this by a factor of 10. This makes sense for me as it also lowers my sensitivity by a factor of 10 (your sensitivity will be lowered by however much you lower this value) and my sensitivity for hipfire WAS 0.075 and for ADS 0.04, making it a much more reasonable 0.75 for hipfire and 0.4 for ADS now. Meaning if I change armor, I no longer have to quit the game, edit the config file and relaunch. I can just do it in-game.

 

Note: whatever you adjust the default sensitivity of 5.0 by is how much you need to adjust the sensitivity you get by using the calculator by. For example, I divided my 5.0 value by 10, so I multiplied my sensitivity by 10. So if you divide the 5.0 by 2, making it 2.5, you multiply your sensitivity by 2 and so-on and so-forth.

UPDATE: they seem to have removed the config file for the game so at this time, this fix no longer works. I'm hoping they add the config file back. I don't think they will but we'll see.

UPDATE: The config is back and so is this fix! exact same method but now the config file is called Control.ini and is located at %APPDATA%\Battlestate Games\Escape from Tarkov\Settings\
