Mac with 227k: Mouse Look not working

Post by cjays »

Hi folks,

I can't look around or aim with the mouse because the 'mouse look' option isn't working. I played with all the input options with restarts with no luck.

I have Unreal version 227k (subversion 11) running on a Mac Mini with OS Sequoia 15.5. I tried it with three different mice: An old Razer Death Adder, an old Mac corded mouse, and modern Mac wireless mouse.

Any thoughts?

I appreciate the help and all the hard work put into releasing the old Unreal. I first played it when it came out in 1998. I was really happy to see it was available again.


Thanks!

UPDATE: FWIW I tried Unreal on a Mac running OS Ventura 13.7.4. The 'mouse look' worked as expected.

Unfortunately, mac performance is pretty poor. Opengl won't boot, the Apple Metal API looks terrible and XOpenGL has terrible performance.

Right now running the game via parallels + Opengl works best in my experience.
