Mouse sensitivity fluctuation problem?
Since release I've had a problem with this game (and to a MUCH lesser extent, OMD1 as well) where the mouse sensitivity fluctuates quite a bit... I guess depending on the frame-timings. Sometimes I'll try to turn slightly, and I end up whipping around 360 degrees and get disoriented. Usually I can even find a spot where if I just make small, slow circles with the mouse, I can see the view angle jump around, and eventually I'm facing a completely different direction. Super frustrating, it's been a few years now, so I'm just wondering if anybody's figured out a solution to this.

And before anybody says it: it's NOT mouse acceleration. It's... something different. It's also not my mouse, as I've had 3-4 different mice in the years since the release of OMD2, and they've all exhibited the same phenomena I've just described. As I said above, it appears to fluctuate depending on how much "action" is on screen... which only makes it worse when you suddenly get whipped around and walk yourself straight into the lava/acid. :(

I've had this problem in Windows 7, and now it persists in Windows 10. I'm convinced it has something to do with the game engine they're using, as it appears here, slightly in OMD1, but not at all in OMDU (which I believe uses a different game engine, and unfortunately one of the few positives about that game :( )

EDIT: Oh also, my hardware has changed a couple of times, so it's not that either. I started with a GTX 460 (or 470... can't quite recall), then a GTX 780, now a GTX 1080.

I SOLVED THE PROBLEM:

put the signal polling rate from the mouse down to 125mhz or so.. just lower and try it out while the game is still working in the background. worked for me, orks are dying now with my accuracy.

Nah still does the thing when I lower my mouse polling rate.

Well it's been a VERY long time since this game was in development. Frankly, as much as it sucks to not get support for it anymore, I can't blame them.

Robot stopped supporting this game with updates or fixes shortly after it was released *in 2012*.

Don't expect any help from the devs on issues you encounter today.

Where can i found the file that contains this exact features for mouse? I can't find it. I have the same issue and its so annoying.
