Instructions

Fix mouse issues

Since your mouse sensitivity is tied to your FPS any framerate changes will cause your aim to suffer. The best way to overcome this is to lock your framerate

Instructions

Make sure your graphics settings are set low enough that your FPS does not dip below 60 or you will encounter mouse issues.
