The problem
For some players, the game stutters if you move your mouse too quickly and it can very easily cause you to get turned around and lost if you're running fast. Additionally, the mouse can feel like its speed is limited, almost as if it thinks you're using a controller thumbstick instead.
Fix the stutter
Check your mouse polling rate.
My mouse was at 8000Hz which was way too high. As I understand it, the game is receiving too much mouse input in a small space of time and can't handle it, so we need to turn it down. 2000Hz works fine for me in this game but you may need to turn it down further than that.

Your mouse probably has a unique piece of software (like Logitech G Hub) which you can use to adjust it. Mine looks like this:

Funny how 20 year old games like Team Fortress 2 can support high polling rates just fine, but modern games struggle with it.

Thank you to the creator of this discussion for sharing this fix.
Turn off smoothing
This is an optional fix but it makes the mouse feel so much better and I don't know why some developers insist on keeping it turned on.

Navigate to
C:\Users\[Your username]\AppData\Local\OPP\Saved\Config\WindowsClient\input.ini

If you don't know how to do that, follow below. If you already know how, just skip to the bottom.

Find your AppData\Local folder. This can be done by typing %LOCALAPPDATA% into the search or run box in windows, or you can manually navigate to C:\Users\[Your username]\AppData\Local\ if you have hidden files set to be visible. In here, navigate to \OPP\Saved\Config\WindowsClient\ and find the input.ini file.

Edit it with notepad or notepad++ and add this to it:

[/script/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

Then save.
For me, the file was completely empty to start with so it now looks like this.

Thank you to DPI Wizard on mouse-sensitivity[.]com for sharing this fix.
Done!
Congratulations! Enjoy your lovely, smooth mouse movement.
