Game Support / Re: Slow Turning while moving the mouse quickly XIM APEX
« on: 08:40 AM - 09/21/18 »By the time you're a quarter of the way through your flick, you'll have reached the max turn speed of the game so won't move any faster, even though your mouse continues to do so. This is why it feels as though you're slowing down.Welcome to the forum, MrDabDaddy.
When you flick your mouse you hit the turn cap limit of the controller's analogue stick immediately. When using the controller, software takes over in order to keep you turning, but your mouse's increased movement speed isn't accounted for as the right analogue stick is 'pegged'. It’s a limitation set by the game developers and is due to the stick only being able to move a few mil in any given direction. Your movement doesn’t actually slow down but will feel as though it does as you’re moving your mouse faster than the pegged analogue stick. Your reticle is moving more slowly than your mouse. Your Apex will be flashing red to indicate this.
You have a few options to mitigate this:
- You can slow down your flick speed until the Apex no longer flashes red
- You can adjust your sensitivity downward until the Apex no longer flashes red
- Or you can just live with the Apex flashing red.
I would also recommend determining your 180° swipe distance and then finding a flick speed that you can live with without hitting the turn cap.
There are a couple of other things you could do, but the above are the things to try first.
Thank you for getting back to me quickly and I have a couple of follow up questions. If I move my mouse at a slower speed I am able to do a 180 flick pretty quickly, but if I make a large and fast movememnt across the mouse pad that is 4x further than my first movement that turns me completely around, I may only move about a quarter of the way of that distance. Is there something I should be looking into regarding a ballistic curve? Or does being in linear aim help with this issue? It has been a very frustrating issue to deal with because I can still turn around quickly if I don’t move my hand too fast but if something happens behind me and I get spooked and move my hand very fast I don’t even get half way turned around. I am very new to using this product and want to get it dialed in as quickly as possible!
You can use a ballistic curve to reach the turn cap more quickly (or more slowly), but honestly, the best thing to do is to get used to the mouse's limitations with a XIM. It'll never be as agile, when moving, as an analogue stick, and never be as snappy as a mouse on PC, but it's a bloody good compromise.
I used to use curves all the time with the 4, but I don't need them with the Apex. My advice: try getting used to the turn cap limitations before considering curves.
