Alternate Mouse Fix

There is another guide on steam, I tried it and it didn't work because it's wrong. This guide fixes the mouse sensitivity being too high; and the mouse being sporadic because of sensitivity, acceleration, and smoothing.

Using information and solutions pulled from google, followed by tedious opening and closing of the game as I tested every change one at a time, I have found what does work and doesn't work.

I can namely thank this post

This guide mainly takes what he did and post it on steam to make it more findable.

You may have to reference other guides on how to find this folder, but there are three things you need before proceeding:
1) enable your computer to show hidden files.
2) enable your computer to show file extension.
3) locate User.ini, which is in your Application Data\Bioshock folder.

Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\Application Data\Bioshock
C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\Application Data\Bioshock2
Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Bioshock
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Bioshock2

Open the file, and throughout the entire document and replace anything that has


to 1200. All 10 entries. This 2500 number is what makes the mouse way too sensitive and lowering the number helps significantly. Has no effect on the menu screen though.

Find all 9 and replace it with
and it should be in a single line, don't break it up into two or more. What this essentially does, is every-time you move - mouse smoothing is turned off. Mouse smoothing gets turned back on by the game several times so that's why we're doing this.

Save and your done.

- Do not set your in-game sensitivity to 1. It's bugged, not for everyone but I just don't recommend it.
- When in-game, if you reset the "custom key bindings" to "default", then you will have to do all of the above again. I suggest you make the User.ini file "read only".
