Issues fixed
Mouse cursor not restricted
- The game does not restrict the mouse cursor, meaning that on multi-monitor configurations instead of moving the camera, the mouse will go onto the other screen, effectively crippling the ability to effectively move the camera in that direction.
Lock cursor with Special K[citation needed] |

Lock cursor with Cursor Lock (Steam)[citation needed] |

|
Lock cursor (temporary fix)[citation needed] |

. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (204880) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
