Remember "The Maw"

Alright, this has happened a couple of times now, so, i'll try to explain it best I can. And i'd also like to mention that it only happens when i play on the Maw Gathering server. Alright, so, right when i join the game, my mouse screws up. I can barely move side to side, and none whatsoever up and down. So, it's like having sensitivity set to -10 and not being able to look up or down. What's intruiging is that when i press escape, i can use the pointer anywhere and it's back to normal (same thing when looking around the lobby, perfectly normal). First thing i tried was rejoining, that didn't seem to work. Second, i restarted the game: nothing. Then finally i reinstalled the game repairing any files, and again, nothing. So, does anyone know what is causing this and why it's happening. And i don't know if this helps, but the problem arises only when i pay on Ice Fields. Thanks in advance.

Huh?

Confusing. try uninstalling and reinstalling your game completely.

Oh man...that's one of the most bizzare cases of server problems I've ever heard, but I do believe you. The best thing I cans suggest to you is to reinstall, although this itself is a risky procedure.

Good luck

Try going to the website for the manufacturer of the mouse and see if there are any new drivers. If not, hop on the forums there and look around to see if there are any solutions. Because more than likely someone else has had the same problem and the answers floating around on a forum somewhere.

kk, thanks for da help guys. Although, my mouse is about 10-15 years old, so....

EDIT: New update, i tried joining another server, and it's still screwed. I'm gonna see if a new mouse might help.

Is it an optical or one of those old ones with a mouseball? Those old mouseballs tend to get dirty, try taking the ball out and cleaning the contacts. And a new mouse would definately fix the problem.

Not possible, though I wish I could affect people's hardware through the server. *evil grin*

Alright, i think i found the problem. I had a gamepad hooked into the PC, so i think that was interfering. So, i unpluged it and it worked again. So, i'll see you ingame, thanks for the help

Wait, mousepads can hook up to the PC? And how does that only affect Ice Fields, let alone the Maw server? I'm really confused...

He said it affected his gameplay on other servers as well and was not particular to the Maw server.

Good to know everything worked out.

Oh sorry for not reading more carefully...but my Ice Fields question is still unanswered. =/

I guess that was just coincidence, since the problem seemed to start when Ice Fields was loaded. But then it started doing it on all maps meaning it's not only icefields.
