Crazy Mouse Issues with Turbine's DDO & Lotro SOLVED

[Darke]

Hail Linux Folk! Linux noob here back with an odd question...

For some odd reason, the mouse control in both of the games listed in the title is completely wrecked when it comes to camera. It spins so fast it's seizure inducing! Even if I put the sensitivity down to zero it's sloppy and I can barely control any sort of mouse look. It's only these two games that have the issue.

This problem happens in Pop Os & Fedora.

So....anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? A specific proton or proton GE version? Your input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

D

EDIT: The problem seems to be in the Proton version-I defaulted to 6.38 and the mouse was back to normal. Guess I should go to Proton DB and leave a comment in case anyone else has an issue.

Thanks again for the help!

Go into the setting, mouse settings and disable mouse acceleration and just select flat.
Hope this helps

And protonge is always good. More cutting edge than stock proton, has some nice features such as an fsr hack (fsr upscaling in any game) and when new games come out, GE is pretty fast when it comes to making fixes for that.

Thanks for the responses guys,

Mouse acceleration was the first to go. Then I played around with proton variants including GE's stuff. I even hooked up a different mouse. None of it worked. :(

Of course, there's no problems in Windows (grr). Maybe there's a ini setting somewhere? Can't say I've tried earlier versions of proton so maybe there's a route?

Sure, older/official protons, experimental since it's the rolling release Proton.

Or try out the X session of gnome. In your login manager (the place you see on bootup where you login) look for some gearing wheel in the corner and select the Gnome X.org version. (maybe it's just called X or X11)
Although Gnome has pretty much perfect wayland support, so i don't quite believe it's waylands issue. Still worth a shot

And as a very last resort;
Maybe, eventually kde helps. it's maybe gonna mess some stuff up, but at least in very few select games, kde handles games better (tf2 completely freaked out, every time i multi tasked in gnome, or battlefield and battlefront can take multiple launches to start in fullscreen when using the Mate desktop)
Not saying that gnome is terrible, just that kde caused less issues.

With messing up, i mean it's a bit annoying having 2 de's with completely different toolkits /designs. Both theming, so that some apps just look completely wrong and bugged (like black text on black backgrounds on default) Or just that gnome apps look too simplistic on kde and kde too complex on gnome.

Just give it a shot and delete kde if it doesn't help

The one thing I didn't try was going back to Xorg-since I run AMD, I was told that Wayland was the best to run for AMD hardware, I'll have to give it a shot.

And no worries about running different DE's, I usually run one distro with gnome and another with KDE that's arch based. I'm giving Fedora a run since I hear great things about it lately,

Thanks for the input. Appreciated!
