Bug ID: 38637
           Summary: FEAR:
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.43
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dinput
          Assignee: [e-mail]

Hi, mouse movement in FEAR has terrible stuttering, even though moving/rotating
with the keyboard is smooth, and the framerate is otherwise great.

My mouse is a Razer Abyssus, set to 1000 hz polling at 3500 DPI.

It seems that Windows 8.1 has a very similar problem:

Of course, other games (including Wine games) are smooth.

I don't think this is a duplicate of the (old & vague) bug #31661

Given that:

* Switching the mouse to 125 hz polling is significantly smoother, although
still kinda jerky, regardless of the in-game "smoothness" setting.
* I remember the same kinda problem, on Windows itself, many years ago.
* No other first-person-shooter Wine games exhibit this problem, e.g. Stalker
is smooth.

I think I should just resolve this as as bug caused by the game's code, rather
than a bug that Wine can fix.

This is a device-overpolling problem with the FEAR game engine - a patched
dinput8.dll is available, for Windows, but it doesn't seem to work in Wine:
