How to un-♥♥♥♥ the mouse acceleration
By Dill Dough
Dead Island 2, like other first-person UE4 games, has horrible mouse acceleration enabled by default. Here's how to fix it.

1. Go into your game's config folder. It's under AppData/Local/DeadIsland/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor
2. Find the file called Input.ini
3. Open it and paste the following in:

[/script/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bDisableMouseAcceleration=True
bViewAccelerationEnabled=false
bEnableFOVScaling=false


(The two spaces after the last line may be important, idk)

Save the file, close it, and run the game. Now you no longer suffer from UE4's horrible default settings, and from the carelessness of the game developers. Enjoy!

EDIT: As a commenter (named KyrenCross) said: "Worked when I placed it in GameUserSettings.ini". Thanks to him for figuring this out. I'll leave the original untouched in case it works for some people!

Anyone know if this works for dying light 1 or 2? Not going to pretend I'm great with the mouse but it just feels like I can't get mouse sensitivity dialed in.

Epic Games is the same, paste the following in windows search

%LOCALAPPDATA%\DeadIsland\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

and paste the block into input.ini or GameUserSettings.ini and save

Just wanted to ask if anybody knew what the file name was for those who got it through Epic Games, can't find input.ini file at all, there's just one config file with "ApplicationPath=DeadIsland\Binaries\Win64\DeadIsland-Win64-Shipping.exe
WorkingDirectory=
WaitForExit=1
NoOperation=0"

Dude thanks so much, I was already getting headaches and thought it was the Aim assist not being turned off but no, it was this all the time.
Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for this ! I felt sick before you saved my life :)
I don't know if it's important, but it didn't work the first time I tried, so I placed it in GameUserSettings.ini like KyrenCross said and changed the caps on the first line:
[/script/engine.inputsettings]
Script / Engine . Input Settings
