Skyrim Mouse Lag Fix

Solution 1

• Launch a Windows Explorer window. You can do this by pressing win key+e.
• Go to \Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Skyrim file
• Open SkyrimPrefs.ini in Notepad.
• Locate [Controls] file and then find ‘bMouseAcceleration=1’
• Change bMouseAcceleration=1 to bMouseAcceleration=0 instead; this will disable “mouse smoothing” and “mouse acceleration” in Skyrim.
• Don’t forget to set the file to “Read Only” by going to the .ini file’s properties -> attributes. Skyrim might be overwriting your settings.

For AMD Graphics Card Users:

• Install ATI Tray Tools or the ATI Catalyst.
• Locate the ‘Flip Queue’ setting and adjust it to either 3, 2, 1, or 0 (recommended).

For NVIDIA Graphics Card Users:

• Launch the NVIDIA Control Panel. You can do this by right-clicking your desktop.
• Go to “Manage 3D Settings” and then the “Program Settings” tab.
• Add Skyrim as a program (tesv.exe).

• You might also consider changing Vertical Sync (at the bottom) to “Force off” just in case.
