Zoom Sensitivity.....um, how does it work?

(watsyurdeal) #1

So uh…out of curiosity I was looking into this, and was thinking if it’d be any use to me while sniping or iron sighting.

So I guess the question is if I play at 90 fov in game…what is my fov when I zoom in? And does it differ from gun to gun?

I’m not sure but would like to know an answer to this. What FOV do you use?

90 fov

Uhm zoom sensitivity doesn’t change the FOV. As far as I understand it.

DB normaly doesn’t change your sensitivity while zooming which effective means that while zoomed in, your sens gets practically lowered (assuming a 2x zoom turning the same degree would take twice the mouse distance compared to hipfire).
That new Zoom sensitivity option counters that. 0 means normal behaviour 1 would mean that the same degree turn would take the same amount of mouse movement no matter wether zoomed in or not. Anything inbetween is well inbetween.

I would say if you find yourself having a hard time tracking enemies in ADS/scope (especially if you trail behind compared to normal) you might want to play with that option.

So if I want to turn the same amount regardless of whether I am zoomed in or not, I put it at 1?

Yes, I think so.

Basically when you zoom in your sensitivity becomes shit. setfovsensitivityscale can be set from 0 to 1 as a float to change how it scales. There’s no real way to know what will work for you, just keep setting it until you find something good. The good news is that it sticks now, you used to have to set it every game.

I have my own set to 0.025.

an alternative that worked for me is just leave setfovsensitivityscale at the default 0 and use setbind “rightmousebutton” “AltFire | SetSensitivity 6 0 | OnRelease SetSensitivity 5 0” Preference obviously is up to the user but I just wanted to show there is another work around
