Title: mouse sensitivity
Post by: gattacus on March 31, 2005, 02:54:37 am: hi folks

I\'m almost new to this game. I would like to explore and check it out but the mouse sensitivity is so slow in mouselook. this is annoying. the setting has no effect an won\'t be saved...is there any solution besides \"don\'t use mouselook\"?

Post by: Externals on March 31, 2005, 03:27:44 am: Well the mouse sensitivity works fine for me. I havnt seen too many options for handling the mouse. Maybe it should be requested? Anyway you can just make it so your mouse moves faster by doing it from the control panel on your computer.

Post by: MaidenIndigo on March 31, 2005, 10:56:22 pm: I, too, have the same problem and my mouse is a Logitech Cordless Express (Keyboard/Mouse duo). One of the other posters mentioned their mouse was a Logitech. Since some people seem to be having problems with mouse sensitivity while others are not, could it be the brand or type of mouse that is the source of the problem? The other poster was using a Logitech trackball, but mine\'s an optical mouse. What do you use?

An in-game slide-rule for selecting the desired mouse sensitivity would be a nice feature, but when holding down SHIFT+moving the mouse, the reaction time is just fine -- wouldn\'t want that to become disproportionately fast to the panning action, you know?

My mouse sensitivity is set at 50% and I\'m using Windows 2000 Pro.

And Gattacus....I love you! You used the \"Search\" feature! /me hugs

Post by: gattacus on April 06, 2005, 03:16:08 pm: I realized the problem only occurs if you use the camera mode in which you rotate the character with the mouse. does the same happen to you? any workaround?

Post by: MWAAAHAAA on April 06, 2005, 06:44:49 pm: I am experiencing this \"low sensitivity\" problem in first person mode only, and then only in horizontal direction. It\'s not really a sensitivity problem but it porabably has something to do with the way the mouse is centered again, after movement. I used to have this sort of problem in my own programs. If I move the mouse slow, there is no detectable movement. If I move the mouse very rapidly, the screen does rotate left or right.
