ScoutPL Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 Anybody else experiencing mouse problems? I bought 1.03 and have patched to 1.05. But there seems to be a delay with my mouse interface. Buttons dont work or have to be "juggled" to be fooled into working. Scroll buttons wont take click command right away, etc. Weird stuff like that. Any ideas? Problems only in setup and scenario creation screens. Interface works great during game. Having to live with a few odd colored buildings from time to time but I'm sure thats just my 3D card being ornery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 I wouldn't assume that any major graphical problems would have resulted in the update from 1.03 to 1.05. I believe something else is going on with your computer. Though most file corruption would result in an executable that won't work at all, you may want to try to download the 1.05 update again. Also, if you're using a mouse with custom software (Logitech, Microsoft Intellimouse, etc.) you may want to check for updates to the drivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philistine Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 I have the same problem. There have been a couple of threads on this. Charles seems to think it is a video card problem. With me, in setups (and in typing in save games & typing my password) the mouse buttons and keyboard seem to be one click behind. It took a little getting used to, but it's livable. Post your video card type so that Charles can see if there is some sort of correlation. I will be getting a new video card in the next few weeks, so I'll post back and see if that fixes the problem. Good luck. --Philistine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemo2 Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 If you have odd colored buildings in the game, I would suspect the video driver first, but there have been some issues with certain mouse drivers and you are having weird problems selecting buttons, etc. If you're running Intellimouse software in the background, perhaps try not loading that to troubleshoot and see if the problem goes away. (Just use the generic Microsoft Mouse driver from Windows.) Of course update your video drivers and perhaps DirectX 7.0a. Maybe even check for updated mouse drivers or reload them if you have special mouse drivers/software. Also, maybe if you have some options turned on in your display properties like 'display icons in all colors', etc. maybe try turning those off to see if they help. Anything running in the background or that has an affect on the display could be the cause and you need to eliminate all those items first and then re-add them back in one at a time to see which one is the problem. Also, what type of video card & mouse do you have? Some ATI video cards seem to have issues with fog and transparencies in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadKarma19 Posted September 17, 2000 Share Posted September 17, 2000 I have the same problem with the mouse being 1 click behind on the setup and creation pages on my laptop but it works fine on my desktop. That makes me think it probably has something to do with the video card. My laptop uses an 8mb Trident Cyberblade i1 AGP. Any info on a solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated. I have learned to live with this little problem but its just one of those little things that bother me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberized Posted September 17, 2000 Share Posted September 17, 2000 I too - have a problem with my "mouse", as many others here, when game first starts cursor always goes center screen and then when you move it - it always leaves a small semi-square "turd" on the screen, it continues doing this on every screen UNTIL you start playing, thank God, it does NOT do this while playing. i WAS TOLD TO UPDATE all DRIVERS - my drivers are all updated and am using DX 7.0a Still drops the pre-game "turds" - the question is WHY - IF they tell me I need new drivers, WHY, Oh, WHY doesn't it do same in the game??

Airborne Posted September 17, 2000 Share Posted September 17, 2000 I had a mouse problem but it was because I was using a custom mouse cursor. After I switched back to the windows default, it worked fine. Some video problems I had were solved by downloading the latest drivers. ------------------ Land Soft--Kill Quiet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philistine Posted October 7, 2000 Share Posted October 7, 2000 It appears that the mouse problems (being one click behind on the quick-battle and scenario menus) is a video card problem. I just upgraded to a voodoo 3 3000(PCI)(Translucent smoke & new explosions look amazing!) and my problems disappeared. Good luck --Philistine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
