UPDATE: We have posted a list of several additional fixes for all types of issues in Skyrim. If the below solution does not work for you, try checking our complete Skyrim glitch fix guide.

As we noted in our Skyrim minimize workaround, the game shipped with a number of annoyances for PC gamers (especially those experienced with the TES series). One of the more noticeable, more obnoxious mini-issues is that of mouse smoothing and mouse lag in Skyrim for PC: if you've ever felt like whipping your mouse around doesn't feel quite right, or if the mouse sensitivity feels too low in Skyrim despite how high you turned it up, this fix should help you out. It was the first thing I did before setting off on my 'hardcore mode' adventures!

Here's the fix:

"Infinite" is a strong word for anything running on a computer or console -- we have hardware and software limitations that require massive teams of talented programmers to bypass; however, programmer Jorge "Vino" Rodriguez (creator of Digitanks) has offered a solution to the problem of rendering varying depths of numerous objects (in his example, moving an ant around on a planet that orbits a distant star) with minimal negative side-effects.

The project is called 'Codename: Infinite,' and is currently aiming to enable an 'infinite universe' that allows seamless transition between planetary surfaces, the atmosphere, and outer space.
