Right now there is no way to change it, on any platform. Just have to deal with it for now.

I did find a line in the script of aschar.as;

Code: Select all

const float _camera_rotation_inertia = 0.5f;
If you increase the value, then your mouse sensitivity is heightened (for moving the camera, at least), and vice versa.

Thanks for answers.
I wanted to lower sensitivity cause deathadder default sensitivity is too high for me. I changed it to

Code: Select all

const float _camera_rotation_inertia = 0.1f;
but I dont know if it's working. Is there any other unit of sensitivity?

Current alpha has trouble updating the scripts. Try using SUMLauncher to "clear cache", and the scripts should be properly updated.

While you're doing that, it might be worthwhile to change the multiplier more than you currently are, to make sure that it's immediately clear whether the script has been updated or not. You could try even 0.0, but 0.01 should also work. These are probably too small, but at least you'll immediately notice when the scripts start working (or if they don't work).

There will be a config option for mouse sensitivity in A196.
