Fix low mouse sensitivity
Configure user.ini
|
This game has extremely low mouse sensitivity on the highest setting, especially if pointer precision is disabled on Windows, and your mouse is not of high DPI.
- Open
<Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\57900\remote\user.ini
- Set
MouseSensitivity to your desired value above 10.000000
You can also decrease MouseAccelDampening , as mouse smoothing makes overall sensitivity slower.
Changing settings in-game reverts these changes and setting the file as read-only breaks the game.
Make this .ini edit after you have configured your key bindings etc.

Broken vehicle physics
- At high fps, certain vehicle jumps are impossible to successfully complete, even with correct timing and boost usage.
Limiting the frame rate to 60fps
|
|
Enable Vsync and set refresh rate on 60hz[11]
|
Blurry graphics
Disable Post Special Effects[citation needed]
|
The game's depth of field effect results in unusually heavy blurring of the graphics. Disabling Post Special Effects will disable the depth of field and make the graphics much crisper, but will also disable tone mapping, bloom, and ambient occlusion.

Notes
- ↑ They state Duke Nukem Forever as engine in game files and in interviews they use the term "Duke Engine", but it's closer in file structure to Unreal Engine 1 games with many issues either absorbed from later iterations of the engine or entirely unique.[3][4]
