KOTOR 1 - Escape from Taris Sith Fighter Mini-game

[Master Urias Fenris 3]

This is not so much a modding question as it is a game play function. I'm running the steam version for KOTOR 1. The problem I am having is that my keyboard and mouse movement for the turret are inoperative. So much so, that I can only move the Ebon Hawk turret about 5-10 pixels a time. and by that time, I've only managed to knock out 2 or 3 of the fighters out of the 8 that swarm you. My keyboard setup has "A" for left, "D" for right, "W" for up, and "S" for down. Not even the Spacebar is available for firing. Even if I press and hold my laptop mouse touch pad to move the turret, it is soo slow, the battle is over even before I can do much damage. I have even turned the difficulty setting from "normal" to "easy."  Is there a workaround or solution to this issue?

When I play KOTOR 2 and do the turret option in retaking the palace on Onderon, or the opening fighter sequence in Onderon orbit, my keyboard and mouse and move and fire the turret in both mini-game sequences just fine.

I have always had a similar problem. The mouse movement in the turret minigame has always been half broken for me and I posted about it a few years ago to little interest from the community.

I can but hope you'll have more success.

I activated the "V-Sync" option for the mouse, and it somewhat helped to make the mouse somewhat faster and more responsive. I was able to knock all 8 fighters out.

Yes. That's what I did, too. But it's not quite enough.
