    There are a couple of mouse settings that might help.
    I noticed in most games the mouse is way too sensitive. So normally I lower it almost to the least sensitive in-game. This doesn't always work, but most of the time it does.

    I also always use the "Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows" option in Wine Configuration.

    Thanks booman:) I have it on those settings and the speed automatically starts to go still at random. I'm not so sure if it is the mouse or acceleration of some sort. Sorry i forgot to pout the game in so heres the one i'm playing

    I know that is a REALLY old game, so is there a mouse setting anywhere?

    There isn't much out there... there should be a config.cfg in the game folder. Look through it with Text Editor and maybe there is a mouse sensitivity setting in there?

    Apparently this is an OpenGL game, so you can't install any direct x packages to fix it.

    Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't fully understand what you were asking.

    Mobygames shows that it is Windows 95 compatible and Direct X 3
    So feel free to go to Wine Configuration and select Windows 95 as the operating system
    Then install PlayOnLinux Packages:
    • DirectX9

    This is strange that GOG put specs of OpenGL and Windows 7, 8, 10

    Honestly I have the abandonware version of Turok. I could test it in Wine to see if I have a similar mouse problem.

    Awesome!

    I'm glad because any abandoneware version will be vanilla. GOG has a newer version with a new engine. So it should look and play much better.
