Mouse sensitivity [edit]

Use Cheat Engine ^{[citation needed]}
Download and run Cheat Engine Start the game, get to a playable area and so go to "Options", "Controls" and set "X Axis Sensitivity" and "Y Axis Sensitivity" to any value, e.g. 10. Go back to the previous menu. Run Cheat Engine and search for 10.000000 as a float. Go back to the game and gear up both sensitivity values to something else, due east.yard. ane. Go dorsum to the previous menu. Search for one.000000 adjacent. Keep the above process until only two values are left. Set both of them to any desired value e.g. 30. Start playing the game to a point where it automatically saves its progress. If this step is skipped, the entire process will have to be repeated with the next launch for changes to have effect. Do not open up the "Controls" carte du jour over again as information technology will revert the sensitivity values to one of the predefined ones. The sensitivity values are shared betwixt the mouse, arrow keys and the right analog stick of a controller; however, the latter 2 are not affected by changing the frame rate. Increasing mouse sensitivity could, in turn, brand them overly sensitive. Mouse smoothing is forced and cannot be removed.
