Upcoming 'Mouse Options' changes and RawInput addition in 1.10.23

2023-08-21 • AF-Domains • (General ZDaemon News)           

  • Overall Sensitivity under Mouse Options is changing


Overall Sensitivity - mouse_sensitivity is being split so both the x and y axes
are handled independently.

Horizontal Sensitivity - mouse_sensitivity_x
Vertical Sensitivity - mouse_sensitivity_y


Old configurations that handle both the x and y axes as one will be migrated over
to the new CVARs transparently.

Note 1: For players that are using the Prescale Mouse Movement setting, it has
been moved to the newly introduced Advanced Input Options section.

Note 2: For players that are using the Prescale Mouse Movement setting, it only
applies to the x-axis (Horizontal Sensitivity) and multiplies that specific
sensitivity by 4 (as it always has done when enabled).

  • RawInput addition


Note: If the ZDaemon client is being run under WINE or any version of Windows
without RawInput support, it'll be hard-disabled and will enforce the
use of DirectInput (the same behaviour as <= 1.10.22).

The usage of RawInput on the Keyboard and/or Mouse is not enabled by
default; instead you'll need to go to Options and the newly introduced
Advanced Input Options section in order to make that adjustment.


  • High Mouse Report/Polling Rate handling


Internal adjustments have been made to better account for mouse devices with high report/polling rates.
