Mouse trouble in F.E.A.R.

cyrax · 04-25-2006, 03:20 AM

Whenever I play FEAR, my mouse always screws up, and sticks in the top right corner of the screen, and it won't move out. When I play the game, my character just points up and around, and I'm whirling around in a circle and can't see anything.

I have a Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.0A, and it has the most up-to-date drivers installed. The batteries are fine, seeing as in CS:S and BF2 I do not have this problem at all. I looked in the menu for FEAR concerning the mouse, and you can only change it to inverted, or its sensitivity, none of which help if I change them.

If anyone has had this problem, or could help me solve it, it'd be appreciated.

It's a common issue with optical mice.When it happens just raise your mouse ~20cm from the surface , then put it back on the surface again.And try using a single colored mousepad ( black or white )

It wouldn't be the mousepad, I use this same one for CS:S and BF2 and it's fine. I tried raising it 20cm then putting it back down, and that didn't work either.

Just dont play fear. No im just joking.

Umm, my guess would be is the drivers and the FEAR, may not be clicking soo well, causing irratic behavior such as this. Try using a different mouse, and see if it has the same results.

Also try the tech support for FEAR, they will probably be able to fix it.

My mouse does it sometimes aswell. I just move the mouse in in every direction quickly and it seems to sort mine out. Have you tried FEAR with another mouse?

Yeah, it works with my wired laser one, but to use that I have to restart every time I plug it in. And it's light and uncomfortable, came free with my old computer.

What would you rather do, play fear a little uncomfortable or no fear at all.
