Why can't I turn off mouse acceleration in Skyrim? [duplicate]

Why can't I turn off mouse acceleration in Skyrim? [duplicate] - Focused woman flipping page of book

I've looked at this thread already: How do I turn off mouse acceleration in Skyrim?

However, I've tried it and it doesn't seem to turn of mouse acceleration. I have already tried to change 'bMouseAcceleration' to equal 0. I've also tried entering in iPresentInteval=0 to turn off VSync or something... Do I need to somehow refresh Skyrim on Steam or something? I didn't change the name of the file, for anyone who's wondering. Thanks in advance.

Also, if this helps, I have an MSI GE62 6QD with: 16 GB ram i7-6700HQ @ 2.60 GHz Nvidia GTX960m 2 GB

P.S. I know it isn't working because the mouse cursor does not follow the in-game cursor, and it still feels "floaty".

EDIT: After much discussion in the thread, it would appear the above FOV command does not stick, and will revert to 70 on Fast-Travel. Try the console command "Fov xx" (~ for console, xx for an fov number)
