Camera mouse input fix/solution
Steps

1. Visit the NuGet page for GameInput: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.GameInput
2. Click on Open in NuGet Package Explorer on the right-hand side of the page.
3. The top of the next page has a "Contents" folder. Click on "redist" in the "Contents" folder.
4. Double click on GameInputRedist.msi. This will download the file.
5. Run GameInputRedist.msi. It'll finish installing in 2-3 seconds.
6. Launch GoWR.

Why?

GoWR uses Microsoft GameInput for handling camera mouse input and it fails to initialize on some machines. In my case it was because the GameInput redistributable wasn't installed.

Normally these installers are shipped with the game. You have to manually download it instead. THIS DOES NOT FIX STUTTERS.

Edit

If the above steps didn't work, also try these:
1. Open Task Manager's Services tab or use Services.msc.
2. Find GameInput Service
3. Right click and Stop the service. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Right click and Start the service.
5. Launch GoWR.

This is so stupid, they should make sure this is installed either way or do a check . It's such weird behavior when you can move your mouse and click on it in game but not camera. Thanks for the heads-up

The mouse movement is super laggy. Even with high fps feels like 30fps. They meed to fix the issue with a patch.

1 - Type SERVICES in start menu, Open the Services App that appears.
2 - Search for gameinput service. Right click on it - Properties
3 - Startup type change to automatic.
4 - Click Start then Apply and OK.

Launch the game and it will work.
