FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi everyone.
I just joined the forums, and my English suck, so I hope you'll understand everything I'll try to explain.

I played Minetest 0.4.12 on my laptop without any problems.
When I updated it to 0.4.13, I ran into a problem...
Whenever I move my mouse just a little bit, camera starts spinning slowly and endlessly in the direction I moved my mouse.
I searched some info about this bug previously, and the only solution I found was switching to fullscreen, but that does not help at all.
However, when I use touchpad, it runs flawlessly, but it is uncomfortable.

My specs:
Intel Core i7 4710HQ
Nvidia GeForce GTX 860m
8GB Ram
Windows 10

EDIT:
I ACCIDENTALLY fixed that bug by messing around in registry.
I had a little issue with my touchpad. When I type or hold any button, cursor stops moving. So to disable that, I had to switch some values with regedit, and after I rebooted my laptop, I noticed that there is no more problems with rotation, and I am unable to reproduce the bug.

You have Cinematic mode enabled maybe? Push F8 to enable/disable it.

No, cinematic mode is disabled. But it also occures during cinematic mode.

It does sound like camera smoothing causes it. (Camera smoothing was added at the same time as cinematic mode).

What type of mouse do you use? Just a normal optical one?

At a guess I'd say there's a rounding error somewhere.

I am using normal optical mouse.
Is there way to disable camera smoothing?

It should be disabled by default.

What fps do you get?

Are there any fixes?
Or should I wait for 0.4.14?

I can't fix it without some more info about why it works on my computer but not yours. When I make a fix, it should be in 0.4.14 or you would be able to get it by using a dev version.

What fps do you get? This is important as it effects how much the code is run per second.

I wrote the camera smoothing code, and was afaik the last person to touch this area.

FPS is another thingy I want to argue about. Like its really low and unstable on my laptop(specs above), and I guess it caused by continious loanding and unloading chunks.It ranges from 15 to 25 fps in jungle area.
Setting Min and Max render distances will stabilize fps alot, so it would be great to have that option in settings menu.
Using paramats Watershed mod , and generating custom terrain and equalizing min and max render distances, I get 60-50 fps.

Minetest is undergoing some major performance improvements, so things should get better performance wise. Until then one thing you can do is use a LuaJIT build, that should help a lot with loading time and heavy mod like mobs redo.

Try disabling the option "Improve pointer precision" in Windows mouse settings. Worked for me.
