I have this game in two places: on my HP Pavilion zv6000 laptop running Windows XP SP3 and on my Acer Aspire One D250-1165 netbook running Ubuntu 10.04. Both are 32-bit.

Beret runs very well on Windows, although if I alt-tab away from the game, I find my mouse cursor does not want to leave the upper left corner of the screen, thus making it almost impossible to do anything else. The game works fine once I'm back in it, and my system is fine once I properly quit the game.

On Linux, though, the issues are a little more subtle. Movement is sluggish, and I don't mean slow to respond. Even in run mode, it feels as though he's dragging through water. I can deal with that, because everything is slow, not just him, which means he can make his jumps just fine. The big issue is mouse control: it is much too sensitive. This makes using the telekinesis much more difficult than it was intended to be, and when timing is an issue it's almost impossible.

Do you have any ideas as to what causes these issues?
Thank you.

Hmm, thanks for letting me know. I do most of my testing on a Mac, so I hadn't heard about those issues (except one of my friends actually pointed out the first one to me just yesterday). The issues on Linux sound pretty annoying. I'll have to investigate that.
