hey everyone this is Steve from gamers Nexus dotnet and today we are going to play around with the watchdogs configuration file first I'm I'm just going to show you how to disable the worst invention ever to come to PC gaming mouse acceleration and second we will disable mouse smoothing which happens to be the second worst invention ever to come to PC gaming so these actually make some sense when you're using a controller with analog input but with a high precision Mouse it's actually pretty detrimental to gameplay and your ability to aim so what you need to do is open up this file that we have right here called gamer profile dot XML and that is done by let me just pull over our trusty Windows browser here that is done by navigating to home path slash documents slash my games slash watchdogs and once you're there you will see this file that looks like a bunch of gibberish I promise you it is not in fact gibberish it means something to someone so we go into that and then you have gamer profile dot XML and you can open this in notepad or in notepad plus plus that I have here it's going to be the same no matter what if you open it in notepad it's just gonna be black text instead of this nicely formatted text with plus plus so what you need to do now is do do a search for the phrase smoothing or smoothness sorry so find smoothness and you'll see it's right here highlighted as a1 so what you need to do is set smoothness to zero from one that will disable some of the mouse moving go over to the left option or wherever it is in your editor and locate use it Mouse smooth and make sure it is set to zero from one so make sure that's set to zero and then you need to find sensitivity which is over here on the far left you'll see mine is currently set to point nine because I was testing it yours might be a little bit lower or higher set sensitivity once again to one from whatever it is and that will make sure you've got more of a one one input to gay movement ratio so it's not gonna be as awkward when you're moving them out so that will disable Mouse smoothing and Mouse acceleration there's still a little bit of funkiness when you're aiming in the game because they have a couple of other things going on but unfortunately we can't change this configuration file save the file so just do a ctrl s and then once it's saved and closed what you might want to do is right-click on the file and click on properties and once you've got that open go down here to attributes and tick read-only and hit apply and close and that'll make sure watchdogs does not overwrite the file when you open the game you'll have to disable read-only next time you want to edit it so keep that in mind if you're having difficulty editing in the future so that's all for this video and this tutorial please let me know if you have any other questions about other things you can do for watchdogs or other games please subscribe if you like this and we will see you all next time peace
