Bamji Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Hi, Fantastic looking game but I just CAN'T get into it. There are three pretty key elements that are destroying immersion, basically I find the game unplayable in the sense that it frustrates me sooo much it is more irritating than fun._____ ONE: In a limited number of screens some foreign code is taking control of my mouse and messing with it. This happens with the CTRL menu, The Reload Save Game Menu after you die, the pop up item looting menu's and ALL menu trees after pressing escape once inside a game. It does NOT happen(as in I have 1:1 mouse control) at any of the character screens like Inventory, Map etc. Neither does it happen at the main menu or any of it's branch menu's. To highlight the load game screen from the Main Menu works fine but the Load Game screen from inside an active game has code interfering with my mouse. It is NOT a system error or graphics failure on my part since for most of the game the mouse works fine, it is strictly confined to these screens._____ TWO: The Witcher has wierd delayed movement so for example if I attack while moving then after the attack The Witcher will keep moving. This is quite frustrating since the character continues moving in directions I don't want it to and I have no control over it...if I want a game that plays itself, I'll watch TV._____ THREE: Even slightly pressing a movement key on the keyboard results in The Witcher taking 3-4 steps. Another highly frustrating things since most of the time I am merely moving to change the direction the character is facing and not becuase I want to turn around and lurch forward 5 steps. Points TWO and THREE work together for some really frustrating combat dynamics where for example you might be NOT facing a group of enemies, turn to face them and cut the closest only to find the character turn to face them, cut the closest and then all by itself "run into the middle of the pack". That is shear stupidity and since the game has received sooo many good reviews I would hope all of this can be repaired._____ For the record my system is top notch(this is definately not open for one of those stupid remarks about mouse lag) and I have already spent hours in the user.ini file so feel free to share your thoughts on settings that may need tweaking. _____ On a somewhat related side note. I watched a Developer released gameplay video and they had the same problem with mouse control which I thought was hilarious, the guy took like five mintues to press each button because the mouse would not go where he wanted it. It is my assumption that this game was completely designed around using Game Controllers. Edited June 16, 2011 by Bamji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordsman5 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 To cure Geralt taking 3/4 steps use the Caps Lock which toggles Walk/Run, the game default is to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
