Guild Wars 2

I bought this game a few months ago during the sale but the 1 thing that turns me off (I literally can’t play) is the camera acceleration.

Have they added some way to disable that “feature”???

Whats it do?… i don’t quite understand..

I’m talking about when you use the mouse or move your character the camera movement feels very sluggish because it starts off slow and gets faster (accelerates). It’s such an annoying feature and I can’t get into the game because of that…

GW2 has built in camera smoothing that cannot be disabled. You can attempt to minimize by increasing the camera speed, but that’s about it.

This thread recently popped up and got some attention, so you might want to try gaining support for a disable smoothing camera option.

The camera smoothing at GW2 release was more than it is today. Together with a slightly bigger fov, it was reduced some months after release to help people with motion sickness (helped me tremendously), but I doubt that there will be additional changes.

You might want to look at your PC performance and your frame rate instead. If you play at a low frame rate, perhaps 20 fps and below, the game feels very sluggish because of the input latency that is increased with such low frame rates. You feel as if you were swaying like being drunk. It caused nausea for me.

But I got a better PC, and now GW2 runs with 40-60 fps. No issues with input latency any more. The camera acceleration seems fine now. In comparison with other games that have not acceleration at all, it feels more natural.

GW2 runs at 40-60 fps for me as well.

My system isn’t the issue, the camera acceleration (coming from WoW and pretty much any other game ever) is sickening to look at.

I wish they had a setting to disable it altogether….

Thank you, I’ll be sure to voice my opinion there as well.
