Mouse Input Delay Guide
-=+Mouse Lag Guide+=- for all OS v 1.1 4/20/04
Tools for the Job:
+ Winrar
+ Logitech Mouseware / Microsoft Intellipoint
+ DirectX 9.0c
The Guide:
- Install Winrar [use any decompressor capable of decompressing .exe files].
- Install DirectX 9.0c [if not done already] as the latest DX contains input improvements. Reboot as necessary.
- Locate the mouseware/intellipoint software package. Right-click -> select extract files... extract driver portion to a folder [eg tmp].
- Uninstall mouseware/intellipoint software/mouse drivers currently installed. Reboot as necessary.
- Open up device manager [by default: Right-click My Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager or control panel -> mouse], locate Mouse from list [if uninstalled old driver, unplug/replug mouse and let the device wizard guide you through process for next step].
- Choose update driver option. Search for files, point to tmp [location driver portion exacted to].
- Let it update your driver. Reboot as necessary.
- Open up Steam -> Right-click Steam in Taskbar -> Open up Games -> Right-click desired game -> Choose 'Properties' -> Choose 'Launch Options' -> Add: -noforcemaccel string to box, ok.
- Launch favorite MOD and play. All mouse issues should be fixed.
Other Suggestions:
+ Use a generic 2 button PS/2 mouse to isolate mouse as problem.
+ Lower directsound acceleration level or turn it off completeley [start menu -> run -> dxdiag -> Sound Tab -> Turn the slider down incrimentaly until it works.
+ Add -noforcemparms string to launch options box.
+ Uninstall current mouse drivers, let windows detect and install 'default' mouse drivers [the ones that come pre-installed into xp/2k].
+ [In game] Bring down the console [~] and type in m_filter. Should report "0", if not change to m_filter "0" or vice-versa.
