primary fire shooting by itself (phantom mouse clicks)

[fragit]

i never have this problem outside of nexuiz.

i am using a wired usb mouse which i have opened and cleaned. my primary fire shoots by itself randomly. this never happens when i edit giant audio projects or navigate the web. this only happens in nexuiz. i never get phantom mouseclicks in any other program. i think there is some kind of bug or crosstalk somewhere in nexuiz. no other program that i have used before or now starts registering extra mouse clicks randomly, so i know the problem doesnt lie with my mouse.

just a puzzle for me thats all, not a gripe.

windows xp
dell inspirion
microsoft 400 dpi mouse, wired usb (or wireless logitec, they both do this.)

Check your binds for +attack, maybe it's another button interfering.

I guess there's another USB device interfering. Haven't heard about phantom mouse clicks, but people having complained about randomly spinning around like breakdancers.

yeah, it really gets on my nerves. in the binds, primary and secondary fire want to always put in joystick 5 and 6, no matter if i specify only mouse 1 and 2. maybe these 'joystick' inputs are cross-talking with my keyboard.

seemingly for no reason, the primary goes off by itself as if i am holding the mouse button down. its really annoying and constantly leads to accidental teamfrags when im playing ctf.

try deleting / renaming your config.cfg to rule out configuration error

I did that, and now i am on my third mouse. Still happening. Could it be caused by playing over wireless maybe?

[tZork]

I doubt it, if the wireless screwed up your data that much you'd see all sorts of odd stuff happening. this sounds like a very specific event, makes me think something is sending clicks or you somehow have +attack bound to something unlikely (but deleting config.cfg should have fixed that)
