Input settings
Jaggy mouse input
The origin version uses DOSBox. A bug in the origin version is that the mouse can feel jaggy and not smooth. You can fix this by going to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Populous\Game\Game\DOSBox
and opening the file
dosbox.conf
Here you should change the line
autolock=false
to
autolock=true
using any text editor. If it was already true, try changing it to false instead.
