  • I'm noticing (even in local games) that my mouse seems to be having latency issues. This does not seem to happen with other games.

    Intel mainboard, ubuntu gutsy x86_64

    Here's some info on my mouse:

  • Looks like you're using evdev. Try using the regular driver instead.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • I don't believe I am...

    here's what I've got in my xorg.conf:
    Code: Select all
    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier     "Configured Mouse"
        Driver         "mouse"
        Option         "CorePointer"
        Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option         "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
        Option      "Buttons" "9"
    #    Option      "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7 8 9"
    EndSection

  • Turn "Emulate3Buttons" off. You mouse should have 3 buttons anyway and that option makes X delay each click a few milliseconds to figure out wheather you also press the other button.

  • turned three button mouse emulation off, and it did not help. I also tried using openbox instead of gnome, that changed nothing. I also disabled my joystick, that also did not help.

  • What exactly means latency issue? Does it result in periodic rough movements? Check glx and sdl versions.

    even in local matches? whoa, I know that only from online ones with higher pinged opponents and tended to blame the antilag feature :shock:

    antilag has nothing to do with your opponent's ping and definitely doesn't delay your input.

    I know. I learnded that the netgraph/lagometer still needs some improvement, that's why I said "tended". :)

    psych, why don't you enable netgraph and press the TAB button while experimenting? On the video it's looking like 160 ping.

    Which oesnt give an answer why you suffer trigger lags when playing offline of course :?

  • is the ticrate perhaps like ultra-low?

    edit: Well, then it wouldn't affect non-local games.

  • what polling rate and dpi are you playing
    because razor mouse has special modified drivers to get 1000hz polling rate

    Did you patch your usb rate ??? if not then switch to 125hz instead of 500 or 1000

    razor mouse can lag btw , dont use 1000hz or 500hz on lower systems

    lower systems lag and higher systems only have a little bit cpu increase on 1000hz

    im using razor now for 5 years I have 2 working copperheads and 1 lachius

    lachius is still beta drivers and it uses the same G3 laser u have
    dont expect to mutch from your mouse yet.
