Mouse sensitivity change : Convert Pre-B215 to Post-B215

<div class="IPBDescription">If you cannot get your sensitivity right after B215</div>Hello.

I play to NS2 from the start with sensitivity "0.32"

Sionce the B215 release, my sensitivity changed and I cannot find it right... It seems that it's between 5 and 7 now, but this is vague...

Is there any algorithm to convert the old sensitivity value to the new one used in B215 ?

Thank you !

    previously my mouse sensitivity was .05, it's now 1.3. That would make the new thing 26x what the old one was, dunno if that works as a conversion rate though. GORGEous says his was 25x so it's probably 25x the old one. But again that's just from 2 samples, I don't know what the actual conversion would be :s

    Hello ! Thank you for your help !
    After a quick test, it looks like my new sensivity 8 (before 0.32) is approaching. It also is a factor of x25 but this is vague.

    I think the dev team could give us more information about it since many player could just stop playing if they have to learn the aim all over again...

    This is important issue. Moreover, like many player, i play without crosshair, and I need to be able to trust my hand.

    You play without crosshairs?


    (and looks like the conversion of old multipled by 25 = new is right if it's confirmed by you)

    Yes i play without crosshair i find it easier.

    To get back to the sensitivity problem, I don't know if it is exact. I feel it's approaching but I can't tell if perfect. I need some time in game to test.

    I think the update automatically changed every player old sensitivity to the new one so that no one see it. In fact when I played my first B215 game, my sensitivity was all right.

    It's when I went to the menu to change some things and pressed UPDATE that my sensitivity got to a default value whch was incorrect.

    So Is there a way to install b214 and then do the update to 215 so that we could check the exact value changed during the update ? Or could some player who know there old sensitivity confirm here what ios the new value in their menu ?

    Thanks !

    26.04353617206923 is the exact conversion factor

    Or atleast exact enough

    My sensivity was like in 3/4 of the slider, after the update it's in the maximum

    Would be nice if they put in a Quake Live style natural units mouse sens option.

    Means you can put in your mouse DPI and then set it up to be degrees per centimetre of mouse movement, it's a pretty niche thing but it's a really cool option to have too.

    It's a rational number for sure.
