mouse/movement lag...... unsure?? advice needed..

[Munkez]

Hi, im wondering someone can point me in the right direction!!

i seem to have a strange problem thats either graphics or my mouse.......
if i dont touch the mouse and just use my keys to run around its as smooth as a hot knife through butter..... left/right, forwards/backwards and together, but as soon as you touch the mouse to look and move at the same time it stutters, gets a bit choppy, like its jumping 5 pixes at a time!! its playable just not smooth
I play other first person shooters online all the time with no probs, and have a friend with lower system specs and his seems ok.........

firstly some system specs

AMD athlon 4000+ (not overclocked)
2gb of Geil system ram (2X 1gb sticks)
Radeon X1800XT with 256mb of onboard ram (not overclocked)
Audigy 2 ZS soundcard

oh, and the mouse im using is a logitech MX518 gaming mouse

everything SHOULD run fine...... all have latest drivers and have tried using older versions with the graphics card with no improvement

in game settings dont matter either, i first install the game it recommends i run everything in high! and really i should, but have notched everything down to medium and run at 1024X768 res!
have also used the openal.dll fix and this didnt help matters......

maybe is me being picky but i dont think so after reading many of you having everything set to high and having smooth fast play and seeing a friends pc (lower spec) running smoother!!

i hope someone can help otherwise its back to fear and counterstrike!!

How does your mouse connect to your computer?

Re: mouse/movement lag...... unsure?? advice needed..

So in your bios it's set to 2.0?

Re: mouse/movement lag...... unsure?? advice needed..

yeah all set correct, my problem only started when patch 1.4 came out

[kenof2142]

Re: mouse/movement lag...... unsure?? advice needed..

Weird...maybe uninstall bf2 and reinstall and repatch 1.4 from a different source?

Re: mouse/movement lag...... unsure?? advice needed..

tryed that already ......

Re: mouse/movement lag...... unsure?? advice needed..

ok, things i have tried already......

uninstalling and reinstalling the whole game
patching from a different source
disabling Voip
forcing Vsync thro cat control center (this probably made the most difference, although not enough for my liking)
connection in game is set to cable256 not T1/lan
have unistalled mouse drivers
reinstalled mouse drivers
turned sensitivity up in windows down in the game (and the other way around)

dont get me wrong it runs quick 80-90 fps, just not smooth.........
when i look around stood still, more noticable when moving that im on some sort of grid!!

I also have the 518 gaming mouse and have been experiencing lag since the 1.4 patch.
Tried tons of stuff yesterday and then remembered having read this thread earlier in the day.
Nothing else worked, so I updated my Setpoint (Drivers) via the update button and it seemed to be better.
I didnt get too much time to test, but it did seem alot better.
Normally when entering the game the first 5 seconds or so were completley useless to me as I was stuttering around so bad I couldnt tell what was going on, then it would mellow out and I would be able to play, but with the lag.
I only tested for a minute after the mouse drivers update, but it didnt seem like it was bad at all.
Ill post back after some more game time.

I'm using the mx518 mouse aswell and BF2 works great!
My advice is don't use the drivers on the logitech CD. And use the PS/2 adapter like i have and not use USB connection.

Arent you limiting the capabilities of the mouse by doing that?

I thought there was something about that

Hey,

try this,

Delete the folder "battlefield 2" in "Your documents" and then you need to retrieve your account and your settings need to be done again.
It should work
Let me know
Bye
