What is causing my mouseacceleration?

[Alksndr]

Hi.

I all of a sudden noticed that I have some mouseacceleration, and it has been bugging me ever since. My aim now feel off due to my discovery..

Everything that has something to do with /cl_mouseacceleration is put to 0, windows mouse acceleration is turned off - and it only happens in Quake Live..

I use a Steelseries XAI.

Does anyone know what is causing my mouse accel?

reset your cfg and dont mess with any of the accel cvars

Make sure you use direct input too.

mousedriver may have it too

try mark C mousefix

The cvar is \cl_mouseaccel

If it is 0, and in_mouse is 2, and there are no accel settings set on the Xai then there should be no accel. Also check to make sure that you do not have mouse drivers from a previous mouse installed. On windows you should be using hid-compliant only. The software that comes with the Xai is not a mouse driver, just a program for communicating with the mouse and saving profiles (and this is a good thing).

You can test to be sure by doing:

\devmap <mapname>

Place two heavy objects on your pad, with the mouse between them. Place the mouse such that it is touching one of the objects, and type:

\viewpos

Take note of the last number, as it is the orientation in degrees based on an arbitrary direction used by the map.

Move the mouse slowly until it stops on the other object and issue a viewpos again.

Again, take note of the last number.

Do the trial again, this time moving the mouse quickly. If the change in degrees is larger for the quick trial, you've got some positive acceleration.

I also have another idea of what could be happening, and that's that it actually isn't accelerated, but your other games are negatively accelerated. Many other games use cursor mouse input (equivalent to in_mouse -1 in QL), and this is subject to cursor ballistics, which can feature various mouse anomalies. See this page for information on that:

The "mouse fixes" you hear about, such as MarC's are to fix this very thing.

Firstly: There are no other mousedrivers on my PC.
Secondly: I did test my mouse in CS:GO as it also has a RAW input function - There was some acceleration there too. So it is probably not quake.. But there are no acceleration in windows at all, I can only feel it when im in game.

The MarkC mousefix have already been applied to my PC from when I played cs 1.6, and the tester didn't find any acceleration at all. But it is there - If i aim at a corner in quake and place my mouse at the end of my mousepad, then slowly move it to the other side of the mousepad (44 cm), then I'm back at the same corner again (so a 360 - i know it's a really low sens ), but If i then move my mouse really fast to the other side again, I do like 90 degrees more.

Also, sometimes (when testing it), I felt a negative acceleration where my mouse kinda stopped.. Not sure why this happens when I have in_mouse 2 activated :/

xai does not have a "perfect" sensor

what is the xai tracking on
