http://donewmouseaccel.blogspot.com/2010/03/markc-windows-7-mouse-acceleration-fix.html Long story short, it seems to have only mattered for older games which caused mouse acceleration to turn back on. The registry fix essentially changes it so that even if the acceleration is turned on, there is still no acceleration. Since newer games don't cause it to turn back on, the fix isn't actually doing anything. The above link has a mouse movement recorder so you can check for yourself if your acceleration is turning back on. I ran it with SC2, and my acceleration never turned back on. | ||

I did all the fixes he mentioned, and i assure you theres a huge difference in game. Its almost an unplayable difference atm, I have to get used to boxing all over again. | ||

I used to play 1.6 and CSS and there was no way in hell I would play without the mousefix. during MLG and CPL, the computers provided would actually have the mousefix installed on them. edit: to answer your question, at this point in time I don't think you can do any changes on the provided computers specially installing registry fixes :/ unless you tweak your mouse (through firmware inside the mouse) that automatically installs the said fix | ||

If you have pointer precision or mouse acceleration disabled, this fix does absolutely nothing for sc2, since sc2 does not call windows functions that enable pointer precision. This registry edit works for games that DO do this by modifying the way that pointer precision/acceleration works, essentially making it do nothing despite being enabled. If you have pointer precision disabled, this registry fix will do absolutely nothing. If you keep precision or mouse acceleration on, doing this fix essentially just turns it off. Anyways, threads on mouse settings: How to improve efficiently, pdf, read section 6: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=208343 Mouse sensitivity: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=165625 Thread on enhance pointer precision: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=212630 Early thread on in-game sensitivity: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=142026 Theres also the liquipedia article: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Mouse_settings | ||

MLG stated in their rules if i remember correctly that you cannot use mouse acceleration because they have disabled it and used the registry fix in all of their LAN PC's. They didnt want anyone to install it or re-enable because it can be difficult to remove or something | ||

I watch you stream specifically all the time and sit in amazement at the way you box your workers so quickly though, i have to assume this makes it easier. Thanks for the reply. I love your stream etc <3. My favorite player. Thanks for shedding the insight! | ||
