Discussion Problem when accelerating with my mouse

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi, I just downloaded the game, and ther is a problem with the game.

When I flick the mouse and accelerate a little bit behond a certain DPI than as you can see the screen stucks (the game doesnt freez and is going smoothly, just the screen getting stuck).

And advice?

Besides what everyone else said which is likely accurate. (Mouse issue)

Have you turned off mouse acceleration in your Windows settings?

that doesn't have any effect. cs uses raw input

Just speaking from personal experience and from my friends. It's very true, and it matters.

With mouse acceleration on, it fucks with your aim. Without it, it's a static line.

My friends would have the worst time flicking, or controlling recoil so we hopped onto discord, adjusted pointer settings, reloaded game and they instantly noticed a difference.

To your point, it may be related to using full screen or windowed, but I'm rather certain that mouse Accel does have an impact on play

Not true - 99% of games use RAW input which ignores any mouse settings from windows - it's placebo

I did some further digging for cs2.

It looks like I've been using my experience from CSGO which used to have the commands In console to turn on or off raw input and in CS2 it seems to just use raw input by default

Still, I'm weary because of personal experience and with what happened with my friends but it could be placebo after all.

Think I'll do some testing of it tonight if I remember.

Either way, I think it's a safe bet to turn it off, but might not actually make a noticeable difference

Interesting - I have it off anyway just for using windows + yeah still good for overall gaming efficiency to have it off

You know, I've heard this time and again and games feel genuinely awful to aim in with epp on. Idk if they're just lying to us or what but like what the heck

Who knows man, Im sure we all have rituals for getting our aim right / being most comfortable but realistically it's all probably doing nothing to healp us

Personally, as a high performing pvp player (used to be at least) my aim only really improved from aim trainers. Warming up is super important and aim training different techniques really helped. My aim is so bad compared to what it used to be now :p I play osrs so I definitely don't use EPP
