Chapter 5 - Blue ball giving me blue balls
The ball in chapter 5 has a golden, rotating sphere inside. I can barely move it around. I checked online and it seems I am supposed to EASILY move the sphere inside the casing to solve the puzzle. Did anyone else encounter this? I do not even know how I could move on from here.

I too can barely move the sphere inside the blue ball, but I manage to move it to the right position to open the blue ball. How can the sphere inside be moved with eas? I don't know...

I had this problem when in-home-streaming the game (using this Steam feature) from my desktop to my laptop. On the desktop itself the game worked without problems. I just went along without fixing this behaviour - somehow I just got through this puzzle still with buggy movement.

Possible things that could help:

- Try changing your mouse to another one.

- Try to change mouse USB polling rate (either through mouse driver or using special utility that you can search for in the Internet).

- Try to uninstall additional mouse drivers if they are present (that are downloaded separately from the mouse manufacturer's website; the basic drivers (that you still need) are installed automatically when you just plug the mouse in).

- Try to change monitor refresh rate to "normal" 60Hz (some puzzle games' physics could behave buggy on 120/144Hz monitors, because sometimes the physics, because of bad programming, are tied to refresh rate).

I have now changed the mouse pointer speed when moving the mouse, I will play it again soon to see what effect comes with it. I will try each suggestion one at a time so I know what effect that has. I play on a pc. My monitor is locked at 60 Hz (cannot go faster) and vsync is on.

Also, you can try disabling or enabling vsync.

I fixed the issue switching form full screen to windowed mode with the keyboard combination "Alt + Enter", I hope this could be helpful, let me know ^^

I had the same problem. I managed to put it in the right position after struggling for a while.
