Vertical sync (Vsync)

Vsync can't be set directly in PandoraEngine.ini due to PandoraCompat.ini overriding it.

  2. Change each occurrence of UseVsync=False to UseVsync=True

Remapping

Manually assigning keybindings[3]
  1. Key bindings are stored in %USERPROFILE%/Documents/My Games/Legendary/PandoraGame/Config/PandoraInput.ini
  2. PandoraInput.ini contains many duplicate keybinding instructions. The fourth set of keybindings are the actual ones used in-game. This is most easy to spot if you've already made some keybinding changes using the in-game menu.

Mouse smoothing

Disable mouse smoothing[2]

Open %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Legendary\PandoraGame\Config\PandoraInput.ini

  1. Change bEnableMouseSmoothing=true to bEnableMouseSmoothing=false

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 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>/16730/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (16730) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
