Mouse/Keyboard "stuck" Controls freezing Problems SOLVED!
For anyone reading this, chances are this is a problem that has plagued you & has frustrated you to no end, I know it has me. I believe Ive found a fix for this. After months of putting up with this waiting for a fix, I came across another site saying something about issues involving dual core proccesors or higher. So I thought to myself, I have a dual core, let me just try this. I was skeptical going into it but it has worked for me 100%. If you have a dual or quadcore proccesor & your mouse & keyboard controlls freeze up on you during gameplay for 1,2,3 seconds or more at a time at seemingly random intervals, give this a try.
Start up your game, log in and go to whatever server & room you want to.
Then, on your keyboard, press Alt+Cntrl+Delete keys, opening up your Windows Task Manager.
Look for Crossfire.exe. It should be towards the top of the list. If you dont see it, just left click the Image Name tab to sort the processes alphabeticaly.
Right click on Crossfire.exe. From the drop box, left click on Set Affinity
This will open up the Processer Afinity box. You should see CPU 0 & CPU 1 with check marks in both boxes. Or more boxes if you have more then a dual core.
You need to have just one of these boxes check marked.
For some reason for me unchecking CPU 0 & leaving CPU 1 checked doesnt fix it.
I find unchecking CPU 1 & leaving only CPU 0 checked works the best.
Id reccomend having only CPU 0 checked, leave every other box unchecked. Bottom line, make sure only 1 box is checked then left click OK.
Close out of Task Manager & you should go automaticaly back to your game. If not just left click the crossfire tab on your task bar. Play game & enjoy.
This fixed it perfectly for me, hopefuly it will for you too. You might also try to do the same but instead click Set Priority & set it to Low. That has worked for me too.
Hope this helps, if so drop a note here to let others know.

The bug Im speaking of is refering to the problems cited in this thread:
http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?t=91243
Basicly during gameplay, certain players mouse & keyboard controls become completly useless & they cant move at all for 1 or several seconds at a time. Except their character will keep moving in any undesired direction & shooting on its own during this time.
Im betting that most if not all of these people have more than a single core processor as do I. -

I hope so too. Thats the purpose of my post, to help others affected by this. I know how you feel, it sucks big time. Ive been dealing with it for at least that long too, but no more. ( : It has worked perfectly for me 100% since using the method I describe.
Post back here with the results. -
Glad to hear this is working for a few of you. Remember this seems to affect those with dual core or higher. If you have a dual or quad core, make sure to follow my advice, step by step & it should work for you too. Only thing that sucks is its not a permanet fix, you have to do this each time u restart the game, but at least we can play it now. Lets keep those posts coming. If it works, let us know. If not, post exactly what you did & Ill try to help.
