M_C Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 When loading or playing (trying to play) the mouse movement is erratic. If moving the mouse, for example, slowly from left to right, the cursor will freeze, jump an inch or so, freeze and jump, etc. If you move the mouse quickly from left to right, the cursor will freeze and then jump all the way across the screen. Game play is just as jerky, making it unplayable. Also, I have to click twice on the quit buttons to exit. I've tried, updating drivers, disabling all mods, installing the latest patch and even reinstalling the game but it still does it. FO3 is the only game that acts this way. Also to install the latest patch, do I need to install older patches first or are the older patches included in the new patches?

phoneyLogic Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 When loading or playing (trying to play) the mouse movement is erratic.This is a new feature brought with the 1.3.0.5 PatchFor some People works this: add these lines to the [controls] section of your fallout.ini: fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0fForegroundMouseBase=0fForegroundMouseMult=0 Game play is just as jerky, making it unplayable. Also, I have to click twice on the quit buttons to exit.The only other solution that I can think of at the moment is a complete reinstal of the game.Complete means: delete game folder and my games folder (backup only saves, no .ini) and clear registry and reboot. If you are using gfwl, you should it uninstal too Also to install the latest patch, do I need to install older patches first or are the older patches included in the new patches? Yep, the latest patch contains all patches until now cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to save the DATA folder too since that has all of my mods but I should try a complete remove/reinstall, before an OS format/install, since the FO3 reinstall over top of the old didn't help.

M_C Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Nope, the complete uninstall, reboot, reinstall of FO3+GFWL didn't help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoneyLogic Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Try to add these lines to the [controls] section of your fallout.ini again:fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0fForegroundMouseBase=0fForegroundMouseMult=0 and turn of the mouse acceleration of your logitech driver. then set the mouse sensivity in your game optins down btw: fForegroundMouseMult=4.0 -> default Lowering the value shouldl decrease the cursor acceleration in menus. Raising the value should increase the cursor acceleration in menus. hope that helps :sweat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_C Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 That was already suggested and, unfortunately, it doesn't help. I tried that after the clean install. It's not just in the menus. I don't know why it's only this game but I'm thinking an OS reinstall might be the only way to fix it, I'm just not looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoneyLogic Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 A whole new system install works always pretty well, but I doubt, that this will fix the mouse acceleration issue. :unsure: Before a system reinstall really try to do everything.Have you already "disabled" the Logitech driver by using system settings?Already tried different driver? -> this could be useful to test before installing whole new system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_C Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I've tried disabling the logitech setpoint SW and it was working with the same mouse driver before so I doubt that it's related to the logitech version. It's more likely a conflict with something else, although I don't know what. It's just a pain to reinstall everything after the OS. Thanks for trying though...

Please give a sign, if it worked for you. cheers The OS reinstall seems to have fixed it. Now I just have to remap my controls. Is there an .ini file to edit or can the controls only be edited in-game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
