Title: mouse acceleration error
Post by: kronon on December 24, 2004, 11:46:24 pm

In linux (at least with my computer) my mouse acceleration realy get\'s messed up (up down realy (instant)quick, left right slowwwwwwww). And the x accel and y accel functions at the mouse config screen aren\'t working (not in linux and not in windows, nor does it work on my borthers computer(windowsXP)). Could this please be fixed so that I can use mouse looking?

I have the same problem.

I also have mouse trouble, and not just with acceleration.  Specifically, I\'m on XP and my resolution is 1280x1024 (fullscreen); the problem is the mouse isn\'t responsive enough.  I\'ve tried increasing the sensitivity (set it 65), but that didn\'t change much.

Perhaps create a slider for the sensitivity - I\'m not sure what scale I\'m dealing with (1-100, or 1-10,000?)

Also, the sensitivity setting doesn\'t seem to be getting saved.  Sometimes the game crashes, or when I load a new map, I discover that it\'s not what I set it at.

TIA

If you\'re running XP, and your mouse is abysmally slow in game try this:

Go to:
control panel > Mouse > Motion

Uncheck the box maked \"disable acceleration in games\".  See  if that works, post here if you were succesfull or not (or if you don\'t have that option).  I use logitech marble trackballs on all my PC\'s so I\'m unsure if that option is only there because of them.  

Also let me know if that causes you more issues.

Yes, that seemed to help some.  However, please note that I only have this option because, I too, am using a Logitech trackball and I just updated to MouseWare 9.79.025 (up from 9.75.302).

Also, when I change mouse settings in the options, they still aren\'t being saved.  I figured out the scale, though - if you set it to 999, it tops out at 100.
