Scheduled for release in 2024, Stalker 2 marks a highly anticipated return for the cult classic franchise developed by GSC Game World. Built using Unreal Engine 5, the game boasts numerous settings to customize; however, players may encounter some restrictions regarding input adjustments. If you’re looking to enhance your gameplay experience by improving mouse responsiveness, follow our guide to disable mouse smoothing in Stalker 2. We also provide a comprehensive overview of keyboard and mouse controls for your convenience.
How to Disable Mouse Smoothing in Stalker 2
To effectively disable mouse smoothing, you’ll need to edit the inputs.ini configuration file by removing specific default settings. Here’s how to do it:
- Ensure Stalker 2 is closed.
- Navigate to the appropriate directory based on your installation method:
For Steam Users:
C:\Users\[YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\Config\Windows
For Game Pass (Xbox App) Users:
C:\Users\[YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\Config\WinGDK
- Open the Input.ini file located in the Windows (or WinGDK) folder using a text editor like Notepad.
- Add the following lines:
[/script/engine.inputsettings]
RawMouseInputEnabled=Enabled
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
Once you have made these changes, save the file by pressing Ctrl + S and exit the editor. By completing this, mouse smoothing will be disabled, resulting in a more accurate and responsive mouse control. Additionally, consider adjusting the mouse sensitivity setting, as the default is typically quite low.
With mouse smoothing disabled, you will notice that sensitivity adjustments will function more effectively.
