- R/swtor Star Wars™: The Old Republic, a story-driven MMORPG from BioWare and LucasArts. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than here.
- The default of 6% is way too 'loose' and doesn't leave much room for improvement by turning it lower. Anything above 10% makes the game essentially unplayable using the right mouse button for turning. How to Change Mouse Sensitivity - On Windows Open Start. Click Additional mouse options. Click Pointer Options.
A common technical problem with Star Wars: The Old Republic is that the mouse control for rotating the camera angle is very sensitive and if you are too accustomed to any other game sensitivity, you may be frustrated to keep finding yourself turned to the wrong direction by a “small” mouse movement.
Fortunately there is a way to fix it and it is similar to the procedure to increase the camera distance in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
To slow the camera rotation speed in Star Wars: The Old Republic open the file “[YourLoginName]_Account.ini” (look at the previous guide, increase the camera distance in Star Wars: The Old Republic), to find it) and change the following value:Controls_CameraRotationSpeed = XXX.yyy
Personally I found the value of “0.075” a good match, but the value may vary for you.

Many of us who have played other games find the movement far too sensitive when turning and moving using the mouse (either with the keyboard + right mouse button or left button + right button together). Here is a simple workaround that will help, without having to go outside the game and mess with your mouse software itself. In preferences, turn the 'Camera Pivot Speed' slider down to a bare minimum. It starts pretty low already at a default of 6%, but turn it down even more. I set mine down to 3-4% and suddenly my movements using the mouse to turn were much smoother and more like other games. It will eliminate the too fast spinning movement and make gameplay more standard. To BioWare: please consider either adding a separate slider for turning via mouse sensitivity or turn down, internally, the camera pivot speed. The default of 6% is way too 'loose' and doesn't leave much room for improvement by turning it lower. Anything above 10% makes the game essentially unplayable using the right mouse button for turning. This obviously needs some adjustment. | |
Swtor Camera Sensitivity
In each of those games I've been able to find a reasonable sensitivity for doing this, but in this game it turns literally so fast and I can't find any option to change it. I play CS and OW pretty competitively, so I have a very low normal mouse sensitivity. The sensitivity of a mouse depends on the person holding it. Some people like their cursor to move super-slow, while others like to set the sensitivity to maximum. It all depends on your habits and what you use the mouse for. Changing the sensitivity on your Mac computer is easy and straightforward.
