People often complain about how Necrodome has a problem with mouse input among other things on modern systems. Luckily I managed to track down an obscure patched EXE from old-games.ru that fixes several issues, including the mouse! Now that the game is available on digital storefronts, I took it upon myself to repackage this patch with some modern amenities for scaling better on modern displays.

DOWNLOAD HERE

This patch includes:
- The updated EXE which makes the following changes (in the words of the author):
-- Fixed mouse.
-- Fixed multiplayer.
-- AudioTracks with audio sd in ogg
-- Modern WASD control.
-- Many of the game's crash messages have been removed.
-- Clicking on the scroll of the mouse 3rd button. slows down the game. For example, it is useful to put forward a
console for cheats.
-- For compatibility, it uses a weak priority and a single processor core.
-- Fixed the court.
- an additional EXE (necro95s.exe) that allows you to play play the 5 shareware levels plus 2 multiplayer-only maps in singleplayer
- dgVoodoo2, preconfigured to scale the game's resolution more cleanly to modern displays.
- ogg-winmm for CD audio playback via the game's included .ogg files

Hmm... Try deleting ddraw.dll, see if that helps. That might be the cause.
Had no idea there was a mouselook fix! Thanks!

Honestly I'm not entirely sure, because the original author was the one who wrote that.

OK, I don't have notable mouse issues but I'll give it a shot and I'll try a before/after MP session to determine what's wrong.

Thanks.
Hi.
Okay, I just replaced the files in the game's directory with the files that were on that package of yours...
And about the mouse, is there free-look of just horizontal like Doom? Just so I know if I'm things correctly.

edit: okay, I figured WASD movement, but the mouse issue is still unresolved. Any help would be very appreciated

The patch does not add mouse look. It does however fix a bug where you keep spinning after your vehicle has been destroyed.
