Fixes
[High sensitivity fix]
- Sensitivity too high even at 0%? The easiest fix is to change your config to lower the scale of the sensitivity,
- Open Run with Win+R, and paste/goto %LOCALAPPDATA%\DeadByDaylight\Saved\Config\WindowsClient
- Open Input.ini, which may prompt what you want to open it with, just choose notepad or equivalent, and don't worry if it's empty that's normal.
- Add the following lines underneath any existing lines, and change the scale value to something lower, I use around 0.4 on both with 800 mouse DPI.

[/script/enhancedinput.enhancedplayerinput]
AxisMappings=(AxisName="LookUp",Scale=-0.250000,Key=MouseY)
AxisMappings=(AxisName="Turn",Scale=0.250000,Key=MouseX)

- Make sure you keep the minus before the number, e.g. MouseY,Scale=-0.4
- After you are done, make 2 blank lines underneath any lines you added, as for some reason they are overwritten by the game.
- Alternatively, you can set the file to read only however it may mean any settings changed in game won't save.

[Mouse stutter fix]
- If you are using RBTray it can cause stuttering when moving the mouse.
To fix either close it or add the command "--no-hook" to the shortcut (right click-properties & after the file path add the command).
To find the startup folder you can do Win+R and type shell:startup. If RBTray is not there, look in shell:common startup.

[Sluggish/Slow mouse fix]
- If your mouse is fancy and supports 4-8kHz polling rate, make sure to set it to 1000. Although the game was ported to unreal 5, they didn't bother supporting high polling rate mice. Did you really expect the multi hundred billion dollar company to be able to allocate one of their thousands of employees to fix the issue? Pff.

Windows comes with mouse acceleration enabled by default, to turn it off just press your windows key or search bar and type 'Pointer' and click the top result. From here, disable 'Enhance pointer precision', you may need some time to get used to it, and it may feel a bit too fast so you can just turn the pointer speed down from there.
