Dead Space (2008) - Game Mod - Dead Space Mouse Fix v.1.0 - Download

Dead Space Mouse Fix is a mod for Dead Space, created by Methanhydrat.

Description:

This fix makes Dead Space use raw mouse input without any additional smoothing or acceleration. It works with VSync and high frame rates and is easy to install without having to fiddle around with FPS limiters or config files.

Description

The mouse controls in Dead Space are notorious. While many players report issues with positive or negative mouse acceleration or overall sluggish movement, others state that the controls are not that bad. This is because the engine applies a lot of transformations to the input that are based on frame time. This leads to movement that is generally better when the frame rate ist stable. The problem gets worse when activating V-Sync. This is why popular workarounds recommend to disable V-Sync and cap the frame rate to avoid fluctuations.

Unfortunately, this also means that playing at higher frame rates is often not feasible, which also prevents users from taking advantage of GSync, FreeSync, Fast Sync or similar technologies

This fix attempts to circumvent those problems by acquiring raw mouse input and injecting it directly into the game's camera functions, making the controls as independent of the frame rate as possible.

While the movement is still not as perfect as in other games -- e.g. DOOM -- it should be a huge improvement to the default behavior.

Features

Raw mouse input independent of FPS or VSync

Reasonable sensitivity range

Same sensitivity in each direction

No dead zone for slow movement

No additional smoothing or positive/negative mouse acceleration

Improved mouse cursor

No automatic camera re-center

Configuration via the ingame settings as usual

Simple installation and usage without any external configuration

Note: Although the input is pretty raw when aiming, it may still feel a little bit sluggish when moving and turning the camera at the same time. This is because the game applies calculations based on the momentum of the player character to the input.

To install extract to game’s folder.
