So, I am sick and tired of people not knowing how to troubleshoot and edit .ini files, so here goes. Take it or leave, provided as is, all that crap. Don't come flaming me if these doesn't work for you. Yes I know you are a special snowflake with a skulltrail system and 64 gigs of RAM. And I couldn't care less.

EDIT: OH NO MESSING WITH THE INI FILE DISABLE MY ACHIEVEMEN.... :[censored]off:

LOL... Good Thread !

I know. I mean, it might help some people, I dunno.

This should be stickied. Very useful.

Thanks, this fixed everything..

This should all be in the damn settings options, without this being done, this game is virtually unplayable.

And not just for a dork like me, my girlfriend who plays farmville thought the mouse was screwed up, put this in your next update! it's a complete joke.

I have no idea how you get by PC game testing without one of your testers noticing this might be an issue.

Well, they might have fixed it at one point, and then it [censored] up again. Code breaks, that's just what happens.

Thanks, Snackbar.

Any chance on an ini edit for the vertical mouse sensitivity problem?
It takes 1 motion to look from left to right, but 6 times that to look up or down, it's unplayable this way unless I keep looking straight forward.

Very useful! I unlock in 5 hours and have been chasing as much info as I can to avoid issues.

Tks for the info really going to help everyone but don't get mad at people as not all can fix problems that to you is simple. Should get mad at Bethesa for not have that fix before.

the problem is the "players" should not have to do any of this....
As they payed money for a working game not to be Bethseda's Beta Testers.

Turn off V Sync at your own peril.

I agree the interface should have been overhauled for mouse/keyboard support.

by the way I did find this interesting and hopefully useful...
