Qoph Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 So lately you may have seen me firing off into the air or in random directions away from the attackers, especially during that last DF defense. I'm not blind and I didn't forget how to aim. The problem is that my mouse is lagging so bad that if I make a sudden movement, or even a not so sudden one, my mouse spins out of control. So when an enemy jumps, my view shoots up and I fire off into the sky, and when they're running to the side I spin and fire into buildings (or Ordo). I obviously can't fight like this, because it's both impossible and intolerable to do so. It's basically taking all of the fun out of my combat. So I need your guys help. If you're computer experts, or if you've overcome the same problems, I could use any advice you might have. Here are a few fancy bullet points with some details:This only affects SL. Even other graphically intensive programs or games are unaffected.The problem isn't the mouse. See above, and also the same thing happened with a different one.My FPS is where it's always been according to the stats bar, but it feels like it's lower. I'm not sure if that's imagined or if the stats bar is wrong somehow.This started being noticeable a few weeks ago, and it's gotten considerably worse within the past week.I came home for spring break last Friday, I don't know if that would have anything to do with it.

Aryte Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 What mouse do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Could easily be your mouse setup, especially if you're set to have programs control mouse speed in some fashion. It's painful if suddenly you have mouse acceleration ruining precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Flaks Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Perhaps if you have a tablet, you should move your pen away from it while on SL. I've learned that my tablet (Genius G-Pen F509) loves to make SL spin out of control if I leave my pen resting on the tablet, or even near the tablet when I'm not working, but has no control over other applications (like Bad Company 2, or regular mouse movement even, as the pen isn't moving, etc).If that is not the case, try checking other devices, like a joystick/spacenav, or whatnot as your issue seems to be more based around SL accepting some sort of input from a hardware device, in contrast to some sort of SL bug(?).

Guest Afevis Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Did you recently install the recent Intellipoint update via Windows Updates? If so that is your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Afevis Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Control Panel - Programs - Add/Remove Programs - Intellipoint / Microsoft Intellipoint (or something like that.)Uninstall that, then restart your computer, hop on SL and see if it's still doing it.

Williamca Zenovka Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Actually if it is related to SL hmm, can't be what I suggested herp. Does it do that on other viewers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qoph Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 It actually seems a lot better in Ascent. It used to crash a lot though, I'll see if that's different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
