Template:Input settings

Mouse sensitivity in menus is bound with sensitivity in game. Because of that, navigating menus may become difficult, if a player sets high mouse sensitivity or has a high DPI mouse.

The mouse sensitivity may appear very high upon starting up the game, even if you have previously set the sensitivity to be lower in the options menu, and changing the sensitivity in-game may seem to have no effect. These two issues may be resolved by simply tabbing out of the game and re-entering.
