Disable the Shadow Warrior 3 Mouse Acceleration

For some reason, mouse acceleration has been enabled by default in the title, and can’t be turned off from the in-game settings. The setting constantly adapts to the way you move your mouse around. It’s not really recommended if you want to get used to a certain playstyle in any shooting title. Thankfully, you can still disable it by editing the configuration file.

Open Windows Run by either pressing Windows + R keys together, or by searching for it in Windows Search
Enter the following address, and press OK

%LOCALAPPDATA%\SW3\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\

Players can access various files in their PC using Windows Run — Shadow Warrior 3 location in Windows Run

Here, open the Engine.ini file using a text editor like Notepad, or Notepad++

This is how many files are in the WindowsNoEditor folder for Shadow Warrior 3 — Engine.ini in the WindowsNoEditor folder

Now, add the following lines at the bottom of the file

[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

Adding these lines in the Engine.ini will disable the Shadow Warrior 3 mouse acceleration effect — Command used to disable mouse smoothing

After that, save the file (Ctrl+S) and exit

After following the steps above, mouse smoothing will be completely removed from the game. If you wish to turn it back on, even though we advise against it, you can simply remove the lines you added to the file.
