  • I got Windows 7 about 6months ago and absolutly forgot about mouse fix. THANKS for this reminder :D

  • does it work for vista? or is it just 7?

  • Before you guys go changing your registry...

    RUN THAT EXE at 2:46 to see if you even need the reg edit

  • @waffliron Sound advice. ;-)

  • well if you use Raw mouse input you shouldn't have acceleration unless you set so in BF3, I have to say that accuracy % doesn't really represent how you actually aim for example if I play with AEK and I try to bring down some sniper from far it takes much more bullets than taking out someone from 10 meters ,it really depends on the maps that you play and if you manage recoil correctly (not really aiming in this case) ,most likely if you already like your current setup you wont become any better

  • rivaLxfactor,

    Reloading your weapon (confirmed on my account with several weapons) with rounds still in the clip count towards shots fired. So if your Accuracy is low this can be a good reason why. I am going to assume that it is easier on the resources to count clips than it is to track each round actually fired.

  • my mouse movement numbers mostly match, but when I move the mouse extremely fast then it goes 1-2 off

  • This is after I applied the reg patch thing which seemed to be successful.

  • @Vladdie777 what mouse are you using? if you are using a mouse with the ADNS 9500 sensor (including the logitech g9/g9x, CYBORG RAT, Steelseries XAI/Sensei, and a handful of others) then the actual sensor on the mouse has a permanent, unremovable 5% acceleration at extremely high speeds. its virtually unnoticeable outside of diagnostics programs though so its basically a non issue.

  • @nexxusx

    Well I use an A4 X-748K (not a well known brand but I find it to be excellent for the price).

    I have to move the mouse at extreme speeds on the test exe to see any difference, even when I am quickly snapping to an enemy I wouldn't move the mouse that fast so I think it is a non issue for me also.

    I suspect what you said is the case with my mouse (cannot find any information on what sensor it uses) so thanks for your help anyway!

  • I applied the fix, but one out of hundred mouse movements numbers did not match, is this normal or did I do something wrong?

  • Cant change polling rate in setpoint (logitech drivers) making me mad because i the pointer speed is generally too high or too low and if i make the dpi too low it doesn't feel right.

  • yeah damn right I'll be using this! bf3 on ps3 was ruined by this whole stupid sensitivity crap thank you kind sir

  • Applied the fix just fine. But on the recorder I'll have a perfect 1:1 while scrolling around my desktop. But after testing in game, I get a number of red/green lines. Did I miss something?

  • How about supressive fire ? like shooting at a wall or bushes or at a corner when you know/think someone is behind it that will lower your accuracy but might keep you alive, or you people like do die with virtual bullets on you ?

  • thanks for the tips. but i can't find a valid download site. give me a valid link if you know one. thanks again.

  • hey ... when i start that test for mouse movement .... the right colon coled EnPtPr.... its ON (2) ...

    why is that?

    whats that ..?

  • @blackwaterSLO never mind ... ive got it...

  • I absolutely use your knowledge of BF3 in my game play, such as mouse settings, tanks, and so on. My question to you is are you going to do a jet or heli tutorial? I know you said in other videos you aren't much the pilot but I was just curious, thx.

  • @AgEnTLDR on sunday I am releasing a co-op video with a guy who does sick piloting material. It will be uploaded at 9am est sunday morning.....

  • THX for these tips. I almost watched all vids and there is nothing as professional for bf3 on youtube. Or i havent found ;)

  • What about macros should we use a special thing or 5 round brust is good?

  • xfactor, what FOV and resolution are you using? Are you on a 4:3 or 16:9 monitor? I would play at 1080p and 90 FOV but unfortunately my monitor doesnt support it. Playing 4v4 semi-competitively. Thx!

  • whats wrong with mouse acceleration? i cant play without it, it feels more natural

  • @ArmorKingEmir if you want to DRASTICALLY improve your gameplay you will take it off....

  • @rivaLxfactor Some people like mouse acceleration. It's mostly a matter of opinion.

  • In Win7 if you use the default mouse driver then the movement is 1:1 and you don't need to use the MarkC mouse fix. At least that's how it is for me. And I have ehanced pointer precision disabled in the mouse settings.

  • ...and hopefully, you guys'll have some f.. **k? :D

  • Gonna test this on MW3

  • Rival, may I ask you, is the difference in accuracy input that much noticeable? I have an average or sightly above average overall accuracy of 20,48% (mainly with AR), and never cared enough to mess around with my game files. i do not use any fancy logiteck mouse or anything, I'm still using that same old $15 Microsoft mouse.. So, is it really worth it? For some reason I feel like modifying any sensitivity setting will do nothing but make my aim worse since I'm already used to the ones I've set

  • What mouse do you use and have you overclocked your USB port?

  • @MegaRoFLL lol, you can check the register file if you don't trust it. Don't give people bad advice.

  • Hi there. i would like to ask why is it when i go to the history page on bf3stats, it says no data available? i've just only registered an account on bf3stats btw. thanks.

  • Hello there, i have the Logitec g5 mouse (2000 Dpi), and i downloaded the prog "Markc windows mouse Fix" and i hit the mouse movement recorder, and move my mouse and the columns was equal, but the frequency Hz was no more than 500 Hz, i see yours is more than 1000 hz do i need to do the "mouse fix" ?

  • Comment removed

  • Brilliant video. Since fixing the mouse + the logitech fix (I use a G9X), to get rid of acceleration (and only slightly dropping sensitivity since I don't play high sens anyway), in about a week and a half accuracy has gone up from 10.4% to 11.7%, KDR has grown over 1.235, SPM is better. MP7 Laser Deathmachine has 600 kills.

  • Sorry,i am not messing with registry for a game, and ppl should be aware of not doing this thing. If u screw up registry, bye bye pc.

  • I followed your tips, my accuracy has improved from around 16% to near 20%. My sensitivity was way too high.

  • Hey xfactor,I have a few questions and was wondering if you could answer them for me.

    1)Do you think that it is crucial to use a mouse pad with the Razer Deathadder? If so,which kind?

    2)When you're browsing or playing games,does your mouse not pick up micro-movements sometimes?

    Thank you in advance for replying.

  • @TheCrimsonArmada1025 any mousepad that is metal!!!

  • @rivaLxfactor Thanks for replying so quickly.

  • @rivaLxfactor What's so special about metal mousepads?

  • @rivaLxfactor Reply to your answer about mouse pads ... Ever try the "WOWPAD"? ... its the best mouse pad I've used. Be sure to get the large version.

    Thanks for the mouse tips! I don't get to game much these days, but I will defiantly try these out.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheCrimsonArmada1025 buy the razer goliathus! thats what i have and its great

  • @MrRwlrwlrwlrwl I already bought the Razer sphex:p

  • I'm using the MX518 a logitech mouse and how do you change that setting in the description? where do you change it?

  • I can't get raw mouse input to work, no matter what I do.

    OS mouse is set to 6/11, enhanced precision is off.

    I have a Logitech G500, polling rate 1000, DPI 1800, low in-game sensitivity.

    Anyone else have the same problem?

  • @ballsthatclank

    I have hte same mouse but my dpi is 800 with sens med seams to work ok.

    I was able to turn on Raw mouse input in game.

    Double check your logitech software and make sure use OS is disabled.

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH! you fixed all my issues with FPS! I salute you!

  • Went out and got a G500 after seeing this video, got the settings down, accuracy seems about the same, but KD is above 2.0 ever since and a SPM avrage of 800 or so (only played for 3-4 days with it) it's crazy (This is BreadHunter36)

  • Just wondering, rivalxfactor, when being on the topic of mice, do you use a mouse pad? And if so, which one?

  • @wrongwayup I use a huge steelseries mouse pad. Most of the higher end pads are all the same. Just make sure it is "gaming" oriented and you will be fine!

  • @rivaLxfactor Thanks. I will definitely look into that. I never really needed a pad, because my desktop is covered in linoleum (or whatever it's called in English), so its hard, flat and glides quite well for mice. But recentely got a Logitech G400, and that one doesn't glide smooth enough for my taste, and it's starting to annoy the hell out of me and affect my aim.

  • @rivaLxfactor Also, somewhat offtopic; I am greatly jealous on your M16A3 stats. Ridiculous accuracy and kpm. I can only strive to be so effective with that weapon. Keep it up man.

  • @rivaLxfactor Would it be possible to know what steelseries pad? Cloth or aluminium?

  • @wrongwayup aluminum

  • Always great vids

    Scribed!

  • Hi man,

    Some nice tips to learn i your video. I have 1 question about the mouse acceleration. I am using Logitech mx518 gaming mouse along with setpoint drivers. There is an option that allows me to disable mouse pointer acceleration. I use that, should i disable it in Win 7 or there is no more need to it?

    Thanks

  • @Russian7002 it has been proven a lot of these built in "settings" do not work. Disable them all and run the test in the download.... if you have 0 mouse acceleration you are good. If you still have mouse acceleration run the program.

  • hey, I want to ask you a question. currently I'm using Steelseries Kinzu mouse which has inbuilt mouse acceleration, is the mouse fix going to help me in this case?

  • @winterqsea mouse acceleration is BAD for shooters.... google on how to turn it off...

  • @rivaLxfactor since my mouse has inbuilt acceleration only the mouse fix you provided a link to managed to turn off acceleration off, however there's acceleration in bf3, while in some other games like Dota 2 or Star Craft there's no acceleration. Trying to work it out :) thanks for the great video, used mouse acceleration for 10 years now, first days without it :)

  • @winterqsea yes. most of these programs do not work properly. 

  • Comment removed

  • very nice! its work fine thank u very much

  • All i have to say is what a difference on all of rivaLxfactor's tips. The graphics change in the nvidia settings is very nice now i can see correct. My mouse and aim problems are fixed as well. Bravo on these tips

  • @itstomd ty for the support!

  • @itstomd what nVidia settings?

  • Any chance you can do something regarding network smoothing and the effects it has in bf3? Oh and keep up the great work.

  • @aoldshep still trying to figure out that one myself!

  • dam i got 11.48%

  • Do you do anything to your config? I know in like RTCW & ET you could make all kinds of tweaks to your game to make things easier... do you do anything like that?

    Thanks!

  • that accuracy is crazy man. I never run tha MarkC fix before and the mouse recorder show the exact # on both left and right size so i guess i don't have mouse acceleration. However i don't remember turn it off either.

    BTW great videos xfactor thanks for sharing the information.

  • Hey since i tried this, When i spawn in i can aim in and shoot but it wont let me move my view point. just goes round in circles looking at the screen. Can anyone help?

  • @Tomb233 be more specific...

  • Great vids rival. Got any tips on how to use the "Network smoothing factor" in bf3?

  • What about the RAW Input of BF3?

  • just finished watching all of your vids. you sir have gained one more subscriber! keep up the great work.

  • @travisoliphant ty for your support m8

  • It did make a slight difference over my old settings, thanks!

  • i dont give a fuck about accuracy, my actual accuracy is probably a lot higher than the number my stat shows because i spray to suppress a lot

  • @000DAAN000 so you don't want to get better at this game? ok.

  • bad settings for me too slow or if on mouse clikk faster dpi its too fast :( mx518.

  • *Attention Logitech users* After applying this fix, make sure to uncheck 'Use OS native drivers for speed and acceleration', set speed to 5 (it's the 6th notch from the left), and acceleration to 0 for your pointer settings. After doing that I was able to get nothing but 1:1 ratios when using the mouse movement test application shown in this video.

  • @atticusflincher thank you for the feedback and help!!!!

  • @atticusflincher in Setpoint 6.32 for Windows 7 under Speed and Acceleration it says "Retain OS Settings". Is that the option that needs to be unchecked?

  • @Rudee66 yes that needs to be unchecked.

  • I often shoot only to supress my enemys/hit them when they peek their heads out, and because of that my accuracy is quiter bad, I think that you should look more at your k/d rate than on your accuracy

  • and what about this? /watch?v=mQmcUjjFvOM change it or not?

  • Hello. I'm really enjoying your videos. I have one question. Do i really need this fix if i have selecten "raw mouse input" as ingame option?

  • @gabrielinc yes....

  • @rivaLxfactor Thanks a lot. You really should publish a Battlefield 3 Guide as ebook. I've bought one from Callisto but it was a waste of money. All pro tips that i would have expected in it i can find in your videos ;). I would definetely buy it.

  • @gabrielinc i should make an all video one :) would be easier

  • I installed this fix and it works perfectly fine in Windows. but when I start BF3 and then watch this mouse movement recorder it becomes all red and green? Why? How I can fix this?

  • @Lucyferion google that one.. im not sure of an answer

  • @Lucyferion what mouse are you using? sounds like the software for your mouse has a profile for BF3 and it's overriding the windows pointer settings.

  • @atticusflincher I'm using Cooler Master Stom Inferno mouse and I believe that mouse does not have any presettings for bf3. When I started game without applying drivers (I need to manually start mouse program everytime after booting my PC or I may leave it without drivers) situation is the same, still mass red and green in mouse recorder...Wierd and I don't know that is going on...

  • So whats the verdict? Is it better to have a higher DPI setting on the mouse with a low in game sensitivity, or vice versa? I Have my DPI all the way up on my G700 at 5700dpi, but I have my in game sensitivity very low. Much lower than yours. I keep reading conflicting things on this subject. What is your experience?

  • @TheWhoDatWhoady I've tried that and IMO there wasn't a noticeable difference, it just made it more difficult for me to navigate the in game menus with the mouse zooming so fast!

  • @atticusflincher Same here. I just wanted to get others opinions. Thanks buddy.

  • @TheWhoDatWhoady most of the top shots have low sensativity... 360 degree turn in 4 or 5 inches...

  • @rivaLxfactor OK, but is that 4 or 5 inches you speak of while using ADS or not? The reason I ask is that ADS is super slow in this game compared to normal look speed unlike some other games like crysis where the speeds are the same. I am one of those players who likes to ADS even in CQ. Thanks in advance.

  • @TheWhoDatWhoady non ads... also dont forget ADS has a delay...

  • @rivaLxfactor Im sorry, I dont know what you mean? I know it takes a second to ADS once you press the RMB, but what does that have to do with it. Im sorry if I am misunderstanding what you are saying. Thanks again.

  • @rivaLxfactor move to iron sight from now on~

  • why my bf3 stats only have 2 entry in the history tab? Do I need to check this site for every new entry? Thanks!!

  • @shusenl tell it to update...

  • Great :) I didn't know about this mouse tweak. Thanks so much.

  • @rivalxfactor Are your settings for "hold aim" on or off?

  • @iEatUglyNoobs i dont snipe much... i never really use it..

  • is that 38th colonel? wow youve played 199h to get there, wow, im on console and ive only got to 13 colonel at 200h

  • @xDarkAngelFallingx i kill a lot of people quickly lol

  • This fix only changes how "Enhanced pointer precision" works in Windows 7. The MouseMovementRecorder shows if it is enabled (which it isn't in battlefield)

  • I'm running Vista 64, should I be doing this with another program?

  • @trinitysmate there is a vista one...

  • have some WHAT? WHAT IS IT??!? ARE YOU TELLING US IN PART 3???

  • So I watched both parts of your mouse setting videos and I noticed I play with the same dpi as you do, my pointer speed is 6 on the mouse setting, however, on bf3 I set my speed at like 75% as opposed to your 20-30%. Do you really stress playing and getting used to the sensitivity you play on, or is it mostly preference at that point?

  • @itsj0hn how far do you have to move your mouse to do a full 360 degree turn?

  • Comment removed

  • @rivaLxfactor 1.25 inches.

  • @itsj0hn that is way too high from my opinion... should be like 3-5 inches...

  • Also, I noticed in the first video that you use the direct mouse input, which should remove the windows mouse acceleration.

  • Hopefully you guys have some fff....

  • I have a razer deathadder with it's own drivers. I have the acceleration set to zero on that, and don't notice any acceleration. Do I still need to do the registry fix? Thanks!

  • @mitchellodude yes.

  • I want to see you in action!

  • Were did you download your mouse movement recorder

  • @Elementalflames1 it is in the install program

  • Dude, this is what I recommended in the last vid comments x]

  • Can you make a video about the correct ways to be aiming/spraying. My accuracy is stuck at about 19% on rifles and 25-30% just sounds ridiculous for me to get to since I don't know what I'm doing wrong

  • @LOLTHONG go look at the first video i made...

  • Sadface, this video is no use to an xbox player. :(

  • @rivaLxfactor Thanks!

  • i don't think your accuracy is necessarily indicative of your skill because it depends a lot on your playstyle. granted improving your accuracy is never a bad thing, but your accuracy does depend somewhat on what maps you like to play, what kits you like to play and how aggressively you play etc.

  • Mechanical or standard keyboards?

  • My razer mouse already gets rid of mouse acceleration

  • @Dt967 don't bet on it... game overrides a lot....

  • Really good tweaks!

    I searched for this on the net while ago and found this tweak. Mainly because my mouse sense was always bad after re installing windows 7. Specially on quake 3 i it would take me weeks before i got my sense straight.

  • Thumbs up for the video, its rare to see pro gamers giving such tips :) this is what divides you from the rest. Question for you what gaming keyboard do you use ?

  • @Simonhutchin322 any keyboard that allows you to smash 7 or more buttons at once... i like razer products :)

  • @rivaLxfactor So, rage-proof products?

  • you forgot to mention that the premade reg edits only work for the default 6/11 windows mouse sens. if you use different windows sens you'll need to use the included mouse fix builder

  • So I've also got a razer mouse, with the razer software installed, and from the software you can turn off mouse acceleration. Would running this program have any effect if I've disabled mouse acceleration with my mouse software?

  • Unfortunately, I'm extremely inaccurate in this game. In pretty much every other game that I've played, more notably BC2, I would average 28% accuracy on automatics, but in this game, with guns that I actually like, I'll be lucky to get 22-24%. I don't really understand why.

  • .. and hopefully you guys have some fff-----

  • If you have mouse acceleration disabled in the options menu for windows 7 AND you have raw mouse input checked for BF3, why would you need to download this? Does it even actually make a difference?

  • Haven't downloaded it and checked it out yet, but does this program also offer a way to reset it in case I don't like the changes (I'd hate to have to rely on a system restore for that)

  • What if the numbers already match? Do I still need to use this?

  • @hanphilip you never know what your game is going to recall from windows.. i still run it

  • Thanks for the tip. Ill definitely give this one a go.

  • Paint skillz FTW!

  • @mweagle89 that is a 400 layer photoshop job!! what are you talking about????? :)

  • @mweagle89 AHAHAHHA Smeagol stop complaining! :D

    // Sasori

  • i bet you havent watched whole vid :)

  • its always cool to be first.. :P
