Strange negative mouse acceleration in sights (after a point: the fasther the slower)
Confirmed Internally, NormalPublic

Description

After a certain point of speed, the movement in game decreases, the faster the input (when in sights)
Might be a feature of some sort, but it's extremely irritating for me.

Makes the whole aiming similar to an extreme mouse speed, where you always need to concentrate
to be very slow, not to be all over the place. Just in this case you need to be slow, to be fast.

Example
Made a quick example. Don't have time to do a nice in game recording with secondary camera synced thingie.
It's a rather quick movement to show the effect. I can assure full contact with the mouse pad and a proper set up mouse.
Recently changed the mouse and same issue persists. The beautiful sound is by the mouse cable. Youtube insists on playing the sound.
While trying to get it on camera, i go the impression it also happens when not aiming. Seems to be less aggressive there.
@Geez: enough info for you?

Thank you Raidar.
We have confirmed the behaviour and are going to take a look at what can be improved.

Geez

My pleasure.
Thank you for your help!

The issue happens by having 30% or less "aim down sights sensitivity multiplier". 40% or higher, the problem fades away. 50%+ is nice. The same with "mouse aiming sensitivity".
"Persistent aiming down sights" function does something fishy too.
The only issue is now that i have a creepy slow mouse in the inventory, because i had to adjust by DPI.

Having 50% speed and reducing DPI to a certain level, gets the weirdness to reappear too.

Seems to work now properly, even with high DPI.
