[Bug] Mouse accuracy broken on slow movements on linux

[Nycthos]

Hey,

Whenever I use the mouse to make slow movements (dragging a selection zone, moving a slider, things like that), the mouse position seems to "stutter" as its position doesn't update properly.
As a result, on a slider for example, I won't be able to slide from 5% to 6% because it's too small of a distance, and the mouse position will only update when it's so far as 8-9%. This doesn't seem to happen when moving the mouse over long distances, only small ones.

From what I see, I'm not the only one with those issues on linux (https://www.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/comments/ovcarv/mouse_pointer_not_accurate_moving_mouse_slowly/), on various linux distribs.

Did anyone manage to fix that?

Hmm if that solution didn't work not sure what will. I mean... you could always use windows.

I hope the next time you have a problem with your windows, you'll get answers like "just use linux".
In any case, it's nothing more than a slightly annoying bug, but a bug nonetheless, and good devs don't like distributing buggy code. And I do believe that the rimworld devs are good ones, thus bug reports matter.

This isn't a bug report forum ;p but hopefully someone can help you anyway C:

I know, but I wanted to see if other people have had the same issue and possibly a workaround or so. I do believe that the steam discussions will have the most people as it is more accessible.

Hello there fellow Linux user. I can one up you on this one. 1.3 has the mouse movement all botched up. Reverting to RM 1.2 solved the problem, but I'm still looking around for some solution so I can play the new Ideology DLC. I'll let you know if I find anything!

Head on over to the Ludeon forums, as the developers frequent that vastly more than they do here, and letting them know about this basically directly means you won't have to wait as long for a fix - otherwise it's the sort of thing that will only trickle through to them slowly or until one of them suddenly thinks of it.

Thanks for the tip! I made my own independent discussion here on steam on this same issue, but I guess I can just copy/paste it into the Ludeon forums where it can hopefully do a little more good.

I've seen this on the Ludeon forums and I think a moderator response that this had been forwarded to the devs. This was several weeks ago though. Really hope it get fixed soon.
