Jerky Mouse Movement on MAC


Recommended Posts

First off Great Game. smile.gif

The problem I'm having is that when I start moving around the map with the mouse. There is a short delay and then it jumps after that it goes to a normal speed. This makes it very hard to use the mouse on the smaller maps. I had the same problem with the Beta demo but not with the Gold demo. Now I have the game and the 1.01 update and the problem has returned. I've got a G4 Mac and am using a Kensington Turboball.

Although I don't run the game on a Mac I'd like to offer a suggestion since my Logitech Marble Trackball was giving me fits. After switching the pointer back to absolute default settings all my mouse/video problems went away.

Good luck either way.

Apoc,

I think it's game related because it doesn't happen on the Gold demo. I spent about half an hour switching from the game to the demo and back to check . I guess I could pull out the puck tongue.gif (mouse) that came with the Mac and see if that does anything different.

Just a thought.

Check your Energy Saver control panel.

If your hard drive is spinning down too early, the delay you're experiencing might be the result of the game waiting to access the drive.

I just noticed that you have Virtual Memory turned off, and you're running a G4 processor.

You should absolutely turn your virtual memory back on. Click the "Use Defaults" button in the memory control panel.

Your disk cache also looks high. But, you've probably adjusted it for a reason.
