I just recently upgraded my computer, and I could aim pretty good on the old machine, but now that i’m getting like 165fps, my aim is off by like milliseconds. I’ve notice it most on Ana.
Is there any way I could get my aim to be more consistent? Or suggestions on how to adapt to this more consistent fps?
It’ll correct itself over time with practice. There’s no secret way to just fix your brain
Maybe check if mouse acceleration (I hope that’s what it’s called in English)
Is switched off, with me it was after a pc upgrade also turned on for the first time and I wondered about my aim.
Also check if the PC is set really everywhere on the max. Hz

you know, that makes me wonder. can video games actually help give you focus? ive heard that people who play video games have better hand-eye coordination…but it also made me wonder if it helps give you focus and helps train your brain in other ways. like you said, over time, your brain will adjust to the new hardware…which means your brain is changing and adapting…just makes me wonder if this has any benefit in general.
I am not a psychologist or anything so I can’t answer the question specifically on focus, but I’m pretty sure there’s plenty of scientific literature/studies that show there are plenty of benefits to playing video games. Practicing pretty much anything will improve/adapt your brain towards the skills required to do that thing.
Overwatch uses raw input so there is no mouse acceleration.
Perhaps I misunderstood OP but it sounded more like they just got a new PC and/or monitor and the improved performance is simply changing the latency of their shots and they’re not used to it. If so there’s no secret fix for this. They just need to play until they get used to it.
Yes there is mouse accelleration in windows, and in the old windows it was shut off, the update to 11 turned it back on THAT was the problem
Yeah on a new pc i’d just adjust mouse sensitivity to match.
I also noticed that when i upgraded my pc for ai / work related reasons. Went from a 40 fps 8 year old pc that (literally got killed and burned the fan and died a month after the first boot of ow2).
To a machine that can push it to 200-700 fps with a 220-300$ 3060ti /4060. Or even more if you’re a lavish spender that wants to spend 1500-2500$ on a 4090 only to have a 2x faster gpu come out within 4 years as tech improves. For frames past the 144 most monitors are able to let you see.
Id just adjust settings until it ‘feels right’. Which can be anything. Base mouse sensitivity, ingame sensitivity, etc.
Then for aim training. You can either do one of the many famous arcade aim training modes, they’re good for that.
Or you can also do practice vs ai. Which doesn’t give you as much target practice but simulates a figment of ingame practice. Just take care to not take overly aggressively habits from ai into comp though. There’s a little xp. not enough to go crazy over. But both have their merits.
The reason i was having so many issues, was because Mouse Accelleration got turned back on when I upgraded Windows. It was off originally. But the upgrade to 11 actually Turned it back on lol
Windows does, OW does not. OW uses an API called raw input which does not use mouse acceleration.
If you felt that was the problem then it was in your head because that setting does not affect camera movement in this game.
Ow cannot turn it off. It has to be shut off in windows first. OW does not have admin privileges. Please don’t act like you know more than me about it, i’ve been building and repairing computers for nearly 30 years.
No program can shut of a basic windows function, unless you give it admin privileges…
You do not know what you’re talking about. Your experience building and repairing computers is irrelevant here. I’m referring to an input API in the game engine, it has nothing to do with the windows settings. I know more about this than you do.
Please enlighten yourself on the raw input APIs:

That’s what raw input mean…So if Overwatch has raw input, the mouse acceleration is actually not on in Overwatch . Since only direct mouse entries arrive.
Then why does it effect my aiming so much then?
[This is my proof](https://youtu.be/hZzj7nVaUGE)
does this actually work?
Idk, as I said, I also had the problem. And I also had the feeling that when I turned it off, it was better again.
I just wanted to say what raw input does. I didn’t know if Overwatch had it
I think so, but if you’ve been playing Overwatch a little longer, it probably has a much less positive effect.
So I’ve done it several times, and still went back to the usual
Then how come it seems to effect my aim…
