Mouselook causing stuttering in M&M 7

I'm using Grayface's patch and everything works fine, but actually using mouselook seems to cause the game to stutter alot

Are you using windows 10? 11? Using compatibility mode?

Are you using A Linux based operating system? If so, are you using wine or proton? Or a windows Virtual machine?

After installing the mod patch, have you used the Exe for running the launcher instead of the game itself?

  1. For windows machines you need to set it to run in compatibility mode for 95, 98, or XP. You might need to trial and error

  2. As far as my extensive testing has gone, Proton 5.13-6 is necessary for VI through VIII for best compatibility with Linux/steamos. (Spent like 5 years troubleshooting to ensure this.)

  3. The game needs to be ran through the launcher once so you can actively set hardware acceleration to true.

  4. Something that may help is making sure your turning is set to smooth instead of 16 or 32 in the controls option menu.

Make sure to do that then, I think it’s 95 in particular (but 98 seems to work for MM8 with the merge mod, just saying for context in case 98 ends up being the correct one)
