Disable inertial mouse effect in menus

[Kares]

Is there a way to disable the inertial mouse effect in menus?

What I mean is when moving the mouse the mouse pointer will not move immediately but slowly "accelerate". Its the same when stopping the mouse, it wont stop immediately but move further and slowly decelerate.

Its making it quite annoying using the mouse to select anything in the menus.

 

I already searched for a solution but it seems like not many have that problem/are bothered about it, so I couldnt find anything useful.

If you are on a PC; try changing the windows global mouse settings in the windows control panel.

I tried disabling "Improve mouse acceleration" but it doesn`t seem to change anything (neither in Windows or Skyrim). I also tried disabling mouse acceleration in the SkyrimPrefs.ini but that also doesn`t change anything.

I have software for my mouse (Genius Navigator 535) installed but it doesnt offer mouse sensitivity changes.

Try a Google search for "skyrim mouse lag in menus" and see if any of the results help.

I spent a while and tried every solution I could find. I`ll make a short list so everyone can try if he has the same problem:

1. In SkyrimPrefs.ini set bMouseAcceleration=0 (didn`t work for me)

2. In SkyrimPrefs.ini set iPresentInterval=0, right above [Grass] (didn`t work for me)

3. In Nvidia control panel set Max prerendered frames to 1 for TESV.exe (didn`t work for me)

4. In Nvidia control panel force Vsync off (fixed the issue in the start and pause menu)

 

That`s all possible solutions I could find. 90% of the results are those 2 ini changes which dont help at all and made me tired of searching.

I still have the mouse lag in all ingame menus (inventory and so on) so if anyone has more ideas how it could be fixed please tell me.

a lot of gaming mouse problems arise from the way Windows handles events. Without going into a long drawn out explanation of code tracing API's and how they interact, here is the simple thing to do -

 

 

1 : open windows Task manager by hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL then selelct "Start in Task Manager"

2: Open Task manager

3: Open Service Tab

4: Search for "eventlog"

5: Disable the service (not stop)

6: restart your PC

 

Almost all mouse issues will become negligible and you might squeeze out a few extra spare clock cycles.

Thanks but sadly that also doesn`t solve the problem for me :(

I don`t notice any change whether the event log is running or not.

The first step is to disable the mouse hardware acceleration in the ini, what you already did (make sure have done it in the correct file and correct section).

 

The second and most important is to grant the vertical synch is disabled, to do it include the following line into Skyrim.ini under the "[Display]" section

iPresentInterval=0

 

Finally, if is Nvidia card you can change the "maximun pre-rendered frames" parameter to a value from 2 to 0 (experiment the greater that reduces the input lag to acceptable). This is done at Nvidia control panel.

I don't know if ATI has something alike, search the net if is the case.

 

The ultimately last option would claim to upgrading the hardware or reducing the overall graphics quality and/or screen resolution.

 

Notice the third option may introduce some stuttering if the value is too low. Although you may not have noticed, that lag is probably in game too and improving the response results in better playability.

PS: that lag is not only the graphics card guilt, it is related to the CPU is not being fast enough to update the input also.

Thanks for the summary, this is all the help someone with this problem can get I guess.

It still won`t help me though. I won`t set lower graphics just to get a precise mouse pointer in the menu while the rest of the game runs smoothly at 30fps with my current settings. I also won`t buy new hardware anytime soon since my current is only a few months old and a better CPU/graphics card would cost at least 200€ each. (I have i5-2500 and gtx 550 ti)
