Alpha Protocol Mouse Smoothing…

I have been able to get Alpha Protocol’s mouse to behave by lowering MaxSmoothedFrameRate to 30.

MinSmoothedFrameRate=20
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=25

Advice to set these values to 1024 and 4096 was misleading, and prevented me from finding the solution for days! Whose computer runs normally at those frame rates? The default for Max is over 60. Adjust it downwards until your mouse motion is predictable; make sure Min is less than max. This unfortunately makes the game a bit choppy under normal conditions, but apparently with my system this gives it time to load textures between frames, so mouse control works properly!

It works like this: when the frame rate drops below MaxSmoothedRate, the mouse sensitivity increases. Even on a nice dedicated gaming system, the frame rate can drop when the system is loading textures. Some systems do not have a problem with this–it depends on your unique hardware.

I believe I also set “onlystreamtextures” to true.
