DO NOT mess around with the aiming mechanics. The aiming mechanics are fine, it's the input lag that is causing issues with aiming. It is NOT the aim acceleration or aim assist.

Set your screen resolution to 480p and the game will feel MUCH smoother.

At 720p there's nearly 0.5 seconds of input lag, almost as bad as Killzone 2. At 480p it's like 0.15, which is more like COD.

Fix the performance issues and aiming will feel much smoother. The aiming mechanics themselves do not really need work.

What if you can't adjust your screen resolution?

Also if there is a way to adjust your screen through PS3, how.

what will lowering the resolution do? help u aim better?

I have no input lag and I play with my Res set at 1080p.

Try placing your ps3 in the DMZ of your router/modem instead.

Personally, this didnt seem to do anything for me. Not saying it doesn't work, but for me it felt the same.

Boot up the game in HD and quickly flick the analog stick to one side in the mercenary quarters. There will be a noticeable delay. Your analog stick will hit the side of your controller before your screen begins to turn.

Start up the game again in 480p. Quickly flick your analog stick to one side and you will notice the delay is much smaller. The camera should begin turning just as or before the analog stick hits the side of the controller.

Sorry if this has been mentioned - I've not checked all the thread.

For me the main issue is latency - the speed at which the movement on screen relates to where the mouse is seems to be quite high. It's really noticeable when using iron sights. The tracking just isn't precise enough.

I use the Unreal engine a lot for development so I know this "feeling" - it reminds me of when you have VSync on and low FPS on the PC. Almost exactly the same.

I'm wondering if the added load from Uprising has caused this? Have you changed light type by any chance? Deferred / Forward? I've seen some crazy things happen with the input latency when changing lighting types.

1. Dust only plays up to native 720p (in fact it's probably lower than this and is upscaled to this resolution). There's absolutely no chance the game renders at 1080p.
2. Input lag has absolutely nothing to do with latency / connectivity issues.

Input lag is normally a pretty small delay and may take an experienced gamer to notice, but it is there, it is causing the gameplay to be choppy, and it is effecting everyone whether they can tell it's there or not.

Couldn't get down to 480p, but managed 576p. Game looks like **** and I have black bars at the top and bottom of my screen in 16:9..... input lag is noticably better though. can't decide if the headache this will give me is worth the better performance lol

Go to settings, display settings, screen resolution, and uncheck everything except for 480p. The game will look like garbage but you will perform much better.

Black bars also appear in HD. Seems like the game actually runs below 720p and it still manages to be one of the laggiest PS3 games I've ever played.

I am struggling to blame this on anything other than pure programming incompetency.

And there isn't really an answer to fix that. You can't just yell at an incompetent individual and expect them to suddenly be better. We're kinda stuck.
