For a shooter like Overwatch 2, being able to control the aim sensitivity is very important. For the uninitiated, sensitivity determines the speed at which the mouse cursor, or in this case, the crosshair, will move on the screen for every inch that the mouse moves.
Recently, players have reported that they could not change the in-game sensitivity in Overwatch 2. Despite having the means to change the values associated with this feature, players were unable to see the results during matches. So how does one fix this issue?
Problems with aim sensitivity in Overwatch 2 can affect the gameplay experience
What caused this error is currently unknown, but it can probably be attributed to one of the many bugs in Overwatch 2. For those who are unable to change their mouse sensitivity in the game, here is a temporary workaround for the same:
While the aforementioned steps should fix the issues you will face in-game, you might have difficulty controlling the mouse on other applications and games. In such cases, you might have to reduce the mouse pointer speed. The process does sound slightly tedious, but unless Blizzard launches a fix for this issue, this is the only way to address the problem in Overwatch 2.
Everything new in Overwatch 2 Season 3
The latest season in the game brought forth some brand-new skins. The Ametarasu Kirikoo skin is the highlight of the Battlepass for this season. It has color variants as well, making it a unique skin. That said, unlocking this skin requires some effort, and players will have to spend a considerable amount of time in the game to earn the XP required to unlock this skin.
Apart from the new Battlepass skins and maps, the Ultimate Valentine event is underway in Overwatch 2. Not only that, but players can also participate in the online dating sim known as Loverwatch, which is also a part of this event.
Bugs aside, some really beautiful cosmetic rewards are associated with the aforementioned events, and players should collect them before events conclude on February 28.
