To further reduce acceleration, adjust the sensitivity bar in-game to zero and raise your mouse's DPI to match your desired sensitivity. Though rather imprecise, this will provide the least acceleration possible alongside the aforementioned config alterations.

 +
Step 1: Download the unpacker tool for the Dunia 2 .dat files from http://www.nexusmods.com/farcry3/mods/5/[1]
 +
 +
Step 2: Extract the contents of the archive to any directory you want; for simplicity just drag and drop the "bin" directory to your desktop.
 +
Step 3: Navigate to your Far Cry 4 installation directory and then to the data_win32 subdirectory.
 +
 +
Step 4: Make sure you have the directory with Gibbed's unpacker tools open in another explorer window, then drag and drop patch.dat from the data_win32 folder onto "Gibbed.Dunia2.Unpack.exe" that should be located in the /bin/ directory you extracted earlier. It should take about a minute to unpack all the files.
 +
 +
Step 5: Next, navigate to the newly created \patch_unpack\ directory in the data_win32 folder, and from there into _UNKNOWN\misc\ folder. You should see a bunch of .rml and .xml files. The file we want is named 4881E4C778199500.xml, if you can't see it at first glance just c&p the name into the search box in the top right of your explorer window and it should come up. Once you've found it open the file in Notepad.
 +
 +
Step 6: Hit CTRL+F and search for the line:
 +
<Binding signal="look" action="updatemouse" sensitivity="0.0002">
 +
 +
You should reach a block of XML like this:
 +
<Binding signal="look" action="updatemouse" sensitivity="0.0002">
 +
    <Input input="CONTROL_MOUSE_X" curve="Weapons:AimCurves/Mouse_Curve"/>
 +
    <Input input="CONTROL_MOUSE_Y" curve="Weapons:AimCurves/Mouse_Curve"/>
 +
  </Binding>
 +
Simply delete the curve attribute on each of the Input nodes of the Binding so it looks like this:
 +
<Binding signal="look" action="updatemouse" sensitivity="0.0002">
 +
    <Input input="CONTROL_MOUSE_X"/>
 +
    <Input input="CONTROL_MOUSE_Y"/>
 +
</Binding>
 +
Next, search for the line:
 +
<Binding signal="look_mw" action="updatemouse" sensitivity="0.0045">
 +
 +
Repeat as above, changing:
 +
<Binding signal="look_mw" action="updatemouse" sensitivity="0.0045">
 +
    <Input input="CONTROL_MOUSE_X" curve="Weapons:AimCurves/Mouse_Curve"/>
 +
    <Input input="CONTROL_MOUSE_Y" curve="Weapons:AimCurves/Mouse_Curve"/>
 +
</Binding>
 +
 +
To:
 +
<Binding signal="look_mw" action="updatemouse" sensitivity="0.0045">
 +
    <Input input="CONTROL_MOUSE_X"/>
 +
    <Input input="CONTROL_MOUSE_Y"/>
 +
</Binding>
 +
 +
Step 7: There's one more file left we need to change to properly fix the mouse issues. Navigate to \patch_unpack\actionmaps\inputactionmapcommon.xml and once again open the file in a text editor. CTRL+F for the line:
 +
<MouseAcceleration min="1.0" max="1.6"/>
 +
And change to:
 +
<MouseAcceleration min="0.0" max="0.0"/>
 +
Change the line directly under it:
 +
<MouseCurveMultiplayer val="40.0"/>
 +
To:
 +
<MouseCurveMultiplayer val="0.0"/>
 +
 +
Step 7: Once you've made the edits, save the file and close your editor. Navigate back to your data_win32 folder and drag and drop the patch_unpack directory onto "Gibbed.Dunia2.Pack.exe", again located in the /bin/ directory.
 +
 +
Step 8: There should be two new files created in your data_win32 directory named "patch_unpack.dat" and "patch_unpack.fat". Before we rename these, find the original "patch.dat" and "patch.fat" files and rename them to "patch.dat.bak" and "patch.fat.bak" respectively, so you have the original copies if required. Finally rename both of the "patch_unpack" files to simply "patch", keeping the extensions the same.
 +
 +
Beware however this will likely cause some issues with the multiplayer features as the file checksums will be altered, so if you plan on taking advantage of those features I don't think this fix is for you. Other than that, let me know if this works for you! Please ensure that you are running both the Packer and Unpacker as administrator by right clicking, selecting Properties, navigating to the Compatibility tab and checking the checkbox that says "Run this program as administrator".
 +
 +
If you get no keyboard/mouse response upon launching the game you most likely made a bad edit, so double check to make sure your edits are verbatim with those above.

Notes

  1. File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/298110/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (298110) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
