Client jerking on mouse look

Post by Gangrenous » Sun Apr 07, 2019 6:15 am

Another things freaking my client out. When you right click to pan your camera around, your game client ends up looking in a different direction. Multiple threads on this...

The trick is under advanced display settings - sychronized refresh set to enabled

I hated this annoying bug so much.

Thanks for the tip about synchronized refresh setting. Although, I have a feeling they probably did some server coding to prevent the mouse from freaking out, because I could tell the difference between live server and Stitch PVP server before you mentioned about this option.

Haven't tried it yet either, but sometimes it was so bad that I just logged off and said to hell with it.

I had it all the time as well, after changing those settings it does still happen but it is rare now instead of every time time I click the mouse.

It was unplayable before I changed it.

Has anyone tried cl_mouselook_capture_windows_mouse false as well?

This topic talks about it. I seen a post saying it is the synchronized refresh as he tried the mouselook in the ini, but who knows maybe both together will work better.

Looks like it is not a 100% fix so we will have to live with it. Unless we can get [mention]xinux[/mention] to find it in his dissembler and patch it for us. :)

I have done both and it has solved the issue for the most part. It still happens but is extremely rare so I can deal with it, before it got so bad that every click could cause it which really kills your mood to work on anything.
