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". |

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1007040/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1007040) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

- "It's a bug where the mouse 'locks on' to 'grids'. There's a way to fix it by overriding the dpi, but while it fixes the locking, it now causes the mouse to randomly shoot all over the place at random times."
