hi all. first post on these forums, and i was hoping to get some help. UT99 in australia is pretty much dead, so i thought i'd come here!
i upgraded my PC for UT3, and we all know how that bombed. so i wanted to go back and play some UT. however, the game ran too fast, to the point of it being unplayable. i managed to fix the graphical issues, to the point where it is playable. the only way i was able to do this was by either disabling one of my CPUs (i run dual core) or setting the compatibilty mode to 'Windows 98/ME'
my main problem is that my mouse movement is completely and utterly different to what it was, once again, to the point of it being unplayable. every time i 'flick' my mouse to do a turn greater than 45 degrees, my mouse goes out of control and will do 180 degree turns. i flick up slightly, and i'm looking at the ceiling. this results in being killed, missing easy shots, suicides and an inability to move around the maps properly.
i assume there is a link between the graphical issues and the mouse issues.
these are some things i have tried:
-reducing mouse speed from 3.2 to 1.6. this helps somewhat, but flicking is still an issue.
-enabling and disabling 'enhanced pointer precision' in XP
-editing the X and Y mouse movement speeds in the UT.ini
-using the D3D9 drivers, and the latest OGL drivers. these once again made it more playable, but still not enough.
-enabling and disabling 'mouse smoothing' and 'directinput' in the UT menu
-reinstalling UT
i still use the same mouse i always have had. i am at a complete loss. i hope someone can help, because i can't play UT until this is fixed
if there is any other information you guys need to help me solve this issue, please let me know.
thanks in advance.
