Description
hello, everyone
The first thing is to apologize for my English. I'll try to explain as best I can.
I would like to ask for your help. Can someone with dual boot with windows try to install the game aim lab in steam? the game is free
the idea is that you configure the game exactly the same on windows and linux, to test the mouse behavior, you can configure any task to 10 min, i suggest you try with motioshot and try on both OS
I have the feeling that in linux the mouse is more nerdy, however if I make a 360º turn, the mouse travels the same distance on the table
but if I play in linux 10 min when I play in windows I have the feeling that the mouse is heavier, but it can't be a problem of sensitivity because the mouse travels the same distance on the table
Would that mean there's some kind of acceleration in linux?
my mouse is g502 and my profile is flat
xinput list-props {1..50} 2>/dev/null | fgrep 'libinput Accel Profile Enabled ('
libinput Accel Profile Enabled (301): 0, 1
his happens in other games, aim lab is just an example for other people to try
It also happens to me with bioshock for example, I also use wine-tkg with Proton-raw-input patch, with the game overwatch and the same problem also happens
this happens in other games, aim lab is just an example so that other people can easily test
It also happens to me with bioshock for example, I also use wine-tkg with Proton-raw-input patch, with the game overwatch and the same problem also happens
I make this clarification because they have closed my thread and moved it here
