MOUSE AND CAMERA TROUBLESHOOTING
If Meccha Chameleon will not turn when you hold right mouse button, but your mouse works normally outside the game, the problem may be related to input detection, Steam Input, Bluetooth mouse behavior, controller overrides, or a game-side camera bug.

QUICK ANSWER
First test whether the mouse works outside Meccha Chameleon, then restart the game, check Steam Input or controller overrides, try a wired mouse if possible, and verify the game files.
If right-click turning still fails in both normal play and painting mode, and reinstalling the game does not help, it may be a game input bug. Report it to the developer with your mouse type, mode, and exact steps tried.
The camera or character may stop responding when right mouse button is held.
Some players report the issue as both Hider and Hunter, while free look may behave differently.
Right-click camera or rotation behavior can fail while painting even if the mouse works outside the game.
For the expected mouse bindings, compare the controls guide and the painting and color-copy workflow.
Bluetooth mice can sometimes behave differently in games than they do on the desktop. Low battery is not the only possible cause, and a new battery does not rule out input detection or device-routing problems.
If possible, test a wired mouse or a mouse that uses a USB receiver. Temporarily disconnect extra controllers, drawing tablets, pedals, or other input devices, then restart the game and test again. Laptop touchpad gestures and mouse software can also interfere with how a game reads right mouse button input.
Bluetooth is only one thing to test. If another mouse has the same issue, collect that detail before reporting the bug.
Steam Input or controller profiles can change how mouse and right-click input are interpreted. If you use a controller, Steam Deck layout, or custom input profile, test with keyboard and mouse only.
If you know how, try disabling the controller override for the game temporarily, then restart Meccha Chameleon and test a normal match. Steam Input can help controller users, but it can also create mouse-input conflicts on some setups.
For nearby input topics, see the invert mouse guide and pose selector guide.
If Hider free look works but Hunter facing or turning does not, the problem may be role-specific or mode-specific. Test the same mouse as both Hider and Hunter, then check whether the issue happens on one map or every map.
A screenshot or short clip can help show whether the mouse is moving, whether the character can move with keyboard input, and whether the camera or facing direction is the broken part.
Major issues can be reported through the developer X account shown in-game or through Steam community feedback. Official developer X: @mecchachameleon.
If right-click turning fails across modes, outside mouse behavior is normal, and reinstalling does not help, there may not be a clean local fix yet. The best next step is to report the issue clearly with hardware and mode details.
Avoid downloading random "mouse fix" tools, unknown executables, registry patches, DLLs, or cheat-adjacent input tools. They can create bigger problems than the original camera bug.
If right-click turning fails in Meccha Chameleon, first check whether right click works outside the game, then restart the game and Steam, check input overrides, and test another mouse if available. If it happens across roles and painting mode, it may be an input conflict or game-side camera bug.
Games can read mouse input differently from the desktop. Steam Input, controller profiles, window focus, Bluetooth behavior, mouse software, or a game input bug can affect Meccha Chameleon even when the mouse works normally in a browser or on the desktop.
A Bluetooth mouse is not definitely the cause, but it is worth testing. Bluetooth devices can behave differently in games than on the desktop, so try a wired mouse or USB receiver mouse if possible and disconnect extra input devices temporarily.
Free look and actual Hunter facing may use different camera or role states. If Hider free look works but Hunter turning does not, test both roles, note whether it happens on every map, and include that detail when reporting the issue.
Report your mouse type, whether right click works outside the game, affected roles, whether painting mode is affected, whether free look works, connected controllers or Steam Input settings, steps already tried, and a short video if possible.
