Battlefield 4

I have an 1800 DPI mouse for BF3 but i don’t know how to find my sens in the decimal that everyone else seems to have? Can you tell me how to find that so i can get my BF4 to match?

Open the file %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Battlefield 3\settings\PROF_SAVE_profile, and look for the line with GstInput.MouseSensitivity, this is your sensitivity. Use the calculator to convert this value to BF4, and enter it in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Battlefield 4\settings\PROFSAVE_profile

Use a program like Notepad++ to edit the files 

Thanks, I've updated the game info.

If you set it in the config file, you can go up to 5 in BF4 too

I've used the standard values, I'll do some checks with different values and see how it affects the sensitivity

I've played around with GstInput.Scheme0Sensitivity a little bit now, and it does not affect the sensitivity at all on my system. The counts/360 remains exactly the same when it is changed. BF4 also feels as snappy as BF3 for me, but I've read a lot of comments about BF4 feeling sluggish in comparison to BF3 for some people. Are you on Windows 8/8.1?

Doh, you're right, merged them now The vehicle calculations are just for the tank driver, the gunner use almost the same sensitivity as infantry (an update with precise calculations is coming). Since the the main turret have a maximum speed/acceleration, it will feel sluggish (intentional and by design obviously) and actual distance/360 will vary depening on your DPI settings and how fast you move your mouse. You need to move your mouse very slowly to get the calculated distance. It will only turn about half way around if you move your mouse quickly over the calculated distance.

Do you mean what settings I use? If so, I use sensitivity 0.00075 and quickswitch between 8200 DPI and 3600 DPI for hipfire, and 2400 DPI for ADS. G700s DPI is off by about 10% btw (at least mine), so if you want precise calculations add approx. 10% to your DPI. I.e. use 9000 instead of 8200, 4000 instead of 3600 etc.

There's really no reason not to use max DPI unless the mouse sensor is bad when at max, or if the game settings do not allow you to get the preferred distance with max DPI. Other than being way too sensitive in the menus that is... Some games do have a separate menu sensitivity though. I have about 3.3" @ 8200 DPI, and about 7.5" @ 3600. One of the most under-used features of the calculator is the DPI conversion: If you select BF4 as both current and new game, then enter your current settings (500 DPI, 4.5" distance), and enter 8200 DPI for the new game, you will get the sensitivity you need to set with 8200 DPI in order to get the exact same distance as with 500 DPI. But at 8200 DPI the movement will be smoother With your current settings you have about 2500 counts/360. That means that the minimum distance you can move your crosshair is about 2 pixels. Take a look at this page, you are currently using a sensitivty equal to the second one from the top. If you convert to 8200 DPI your movement will be twice as smooth as the bottom one!

I'll look into it ASAP!

BF4 is still the same, make sure that raw mouse input is on. Also remember that mouse sensors usually do not deliver the exact DPI they are set to, so your measurement might be a little off compared to the calculations.
