@Esty8nine I'm eager to get your thoughts on the new Impaler mode - patch should be landing in the next hour! I would consider it somewhat experimental. Not sure how people are going to receive it. But at least it's free!

MISFIT MONDAYS: MASTER OF CHESS - Chess simulator with a character that "helps ya along the way" SICK IMPALER (GOLD) - Massive content update Secret new game, never played something like this one😂 BUT FIRST-Game Doc is calling out these entitled gamers twitch.tv/esty8nine

@fuGue_tv Awesome - I hope you enjoy it, Dadge. We have a HUGE update coming out soon. You'll need to give it another spin when it lands! P.S. As a dev, it's a gift to receive such thoughtful bug reports from players. Thank you for investigating 🦾

@apptivus hey brother. I figured out the fix. you have to turn off "Enhanced Mouse Precision" in windows. How stupid is that. But it did fix everything. Now ima play the shit out of IMPALER.

@fuGue_tv Sorry for the spam - X wants to charge me money for a long response 💀. The last thing to keep in mind is that I wrote this game from scratch in C / OpenGL - I'm interfacing with mouse input at a fairly low level. So there is significant opportunity for error 😃

@apptivus @apptivus Here is a clip from the stream where I demonstrate clearly that there is mouse acceleration in IMPALER. It obviously isn't intended, but it is there, and it makes it so you either have to always twitch react to things, or only track things slowly, depending on ur style

@fuGue_tv What mouse / mouse software do you use? I'd be happy to investigate a bit. Lastly, what window mode do you use? Might be worth checking exclusive vs borderless to see if the behavior is different. Feel free to catch me on discord

@fuGue_tv What I can confirm is: - there is no mouse acceleration code in the game - I have not received any other reports of this from other players - the mouse input is implemented via GLFW That being said, I agree something is messed up here.

@fuGue_tv Thank you for the video, Dadge - what you show here indeed looks like mouse acceleration being applied. This is the same test I would have performed. I have no explanation for this.
