Issues unresolved

High mouse DPI causes erratic aiming

The game uses a grid system for aiming which, when using the keyboard and mouse, relies on the standard 72 DPI for mice. Higher DPI breaks this system, resulting in erratic aiming and camera movement.[2]
Use EDF 5 Mod Loader

Jitter isn't completely removed, but drastically reduced with one of the included patches, "MouseJitterFix".
