| Mouse stops working while playing JA MP | |

Like the title says, my mouse suddenly stopped while being in the midst of a duel on the Academy server. I had to reboot to make it work again, not even exiting to windows solved it. I had the Quake III Engine minimizer open, dunno if that caused the problem... Anyone else experienced this? This post was edited by Hive on Oct 29 2004 02:57pm. |

Well, good thing is that you know the problem.  |

Update: After closer examination and multiple tests, my mouse appears to be half-broken - and I will need to buy a replacement.  |

I played some SP today (decided to finish the game on the dark side as well) while using the minimizer, and it happened again. So I'll blame the evil minimizer and just refrain from playing full screen from now on. |

Heh. I actually had alt bound to alternative attack untill recently, and it did cause a few surprise (both surprising for me and the defender) attacks... |

Yes, I had it bound for a while. It's amazing how long it took me to figure out when I accidently replaced the reloaded folder! |

Actually, there are lots of sockets. Anyway, I was saying that the wire may not be plugged in very well. Ie. Not pushed right into the socket, only half of the way. |

Could be the minimizer, could be that it's not plugged in right, the computer's specs, and as Gradius said, it could be the drivers... I don't know about your mouse but there isn't much chance that he has plugged it in wrong, last time I checked there was one wire and one socket. _______________ Padawan to the great Jacen Aratan! <Setementor> Scythus is a genius!

I think it must have been the minimizer... haven't used it since, and haven't had more problems... I'll try to duplicate the problem one of these days. |

A random cheap mouse can still be fixed by updating drivers. Or maybe the problem is it's a random cheap mouse. _______________ - Proud padawan of Kueller. - We really are at the beginning of it all.

Well it never happened before in any other game... Drivers? Heh. I use a random cheap-ass mouse. |

Try updating your mouse driver. It will cause it to reinstall basically, that should fix it. Or, next time it happens, just try unplugging your mouse from the computer, and plugging it back in. Ask the person you are dueling to wait for a second, they will. _______________ - Proud padawan of Kueller. - We really are at the beginning of it all.
