Weird Mouse Jamming

Silent0pz · May 2012

FYI, this isn't the 'jittery mouse' error, so don't overload me with links to the sticky.

Anyway, CF was all fine etc, and I was running an nVidia GeForce FX5200 which hadn't received a driver since 2003. The game was smooth as butter and everything was cool. However, I had to update my driver so I could run Minecraft due to the old one's limited OpenGL capabilities. Anyway, I added the latest driver for the 5200, from 2008. Ever since, my frame rate is same as before, except that my input from mouse is delayed, or my cursor jams. The enemies still move around at 60FPS, but my mouse just jams, which screws with my aim.

Any help at all here would be extremely useful!

Thanking you all in advance.

Does your mouse have software/firmwire?

Check the setting in your mouse properties in you control panel. Also check the drivers for your mouse. If all else fails, uninstall the mouse and re-install it.

If that doesn't work try this. I used it for a minute until I got a new Cyborg mouse.

It really worked for me.

nope, it's just a super cheap mouse - worked fine before 5200 firmware update

See if you can downgrade, otherwise, purchase a new mouse. Decent ones go for $15-$20.

ok, when i had this issue in game, i found that opening the task manager,go into 'processes' right clicking crossfire, so 'set affinity' shows. click that, you will most likely see 2 cpu's showing (cpu 0 and 1) un check the second one, click ok, and go back in the game. the mouse freezing issue should now be finished.
