    no control over movement

    Hello I'm using my mouse and keyboard for control, the arrows control the direction, but it seems that sometimes I cant stop the movement forward or any direction it seems to get stuck and moved automatically, any ideas?

    I docent do it all the time but often enough

    Thanks

      Also, check your ping, sometimes when I'm playing on a server that I get a really low ping, I'll have a spike for seemingly no reason, when that happens I sometimes get stuck running forward until I crouch or change direction.

          How old is it? I know my old keyboards used to sense key inputs even when I wasn't touching the key, and I'm sure this could be a more prominent problem with a wireless keyboard.

              Plenty of people game just fine with wireless components. Unless you're a top competitive player, the data transfer is fine.

              However, if the batteries on wireless components run low, they can cause problems. Be sure they are charged up/replaced. You may also want to check the key repeat rates in your control panel.

                On the topic of Keyboards, does anybody know why my Wired Logitech G11 Keyboard tends to disconnect and auto reconnect every now and then? I can't understand why it's doing it.

                        USB? PS/2? Check the ends of the connector cable, and where it plugs into your PC...see if anything looks damaged/bent in any way.

                        In other games, I've seen people say that if they simply unplug, then reconnect the device, it will often solve the problem. Something could be loose, or it could be some weird device communication issue.

                          Also, electronic devices can interfere with the wireless signal. Don't put the receiver too close to the monitor, etc. or you'll experience signal loss.

                            My old wireless mouse wouldn't work while my phone rang.
