Mouse sensitivity WAY too high

onezeroeight · September 2019

I just bought my first new mac in 10 years and put ESO on it. The first time I got in game everything was spinning uncontrollably. I set camera view to 0 and was able to barely control it. Moving the mouse a 1/4" on my desk was enough to start it spinning again. I found out about the accessibility thing in security settings, it was off, so I turned that on. Still WAY too touchy to be able to play. I restarted my mac just in case it needed that, no change. I then set mouse tracking to minimum in the settings and its a little better. Bottom line, the game is completely unplayable like this. I shouldn't have to turn settings to their minimums. I'm running ESO on a 4k retina 21.5" 2019 iMac. I also tried a cheap wired mouse and got the same thing.

Turn off Hardware Acceleration on the Mouse

So I did that and it made it easier. Then I noticed that the game doesn't treat the mouse like a mouse. It treats it like a joystick. Such as: I move the mouse an inch to the left and stop. It continues spinning left until I move the mouse back to center. Once the game glitched and left the mouse pointer up and it was was easier to keep it centered, but that doesn't seem to be a setting anywhere. Is there a way to make it mouse control like every other FPS ever made? Like the view only moves when the mouse is actually moving? Having to constantly recenter the mouse with an invisible pointer is a major pain in the ass. Do you all just use controllers or managed to get used to this weird mouse control?

No one else having this issue?

Since I hadn't gotten any other help yet I kept researching and found a post about not launching with the launcher. I found (5 folders deep) the "eso" application and went in that way instead of the launcher. This time a window popped up asking for accessibility permissions again. Now above the ZOS Launcher, there was eso. Turned that on and my mouse works like a mouse. It was absurdly slow now so I turned acceleration back on and put all the mouse controls back up to normal. Why it doesn't just work to begin with without jumping through all kinds of hoops is beyond me.

I tried to submit a ticket about this but couldn't because "Game Consultant" only crashes. I submitted it to them as a bug and it will probably never get read.
