Problem with Controls

Hello, 

Having some trouble with ERAS running 64bit. The camera control is very bad for some reason. The vertical axis is very wonky. It's impossible to move along the vertical axis without it wobbling from side to side. The biggest problem is that no matter what sensitivity I set the 3rd-person land camera is dreadfully slow and laggy. It takes 8 swipes of the mouse to rotate the camera 180 degrees. 

Meanwhile the mouse cursor is very fast. 1st-person Sea camera is insanely fast, 3rd-person Sea very sluggish/slow. I have never played ERAS before so not sure where to look to resolve this.  

I have tried setting the sensitivity in the camera file but it did not help.  

; rotate sensitivity

sensitivity = 1.0

---------

The issue is most noticeable in first person free-cam. Moving the camera dead on a horizontal axis makes it jump up in the air like it's going over speed bumps. 

I come from playing COAS GOF 1.0 and while the camera mouse acceleration is not great, its miles better and more consistent than in ERAS. This is a completely fresh install of ERAS from the Itchio website.   

Would appreciate any tips or advice.

Somewhat of a breakthrough, enabling FPS control in the ini file made mouse movement much more consistent/responsive. Vertical mouse movement still makes the character/camera wobble from side to side. 

max_fps = 120

One other odd behaviour is that the camera in 3rd-person Sea periodically keeps snapping to different angles. Sometimes it snaps the angle around almost 180 degrees.
