Mouse sensitivity results in unintentional movement

[jackfox]

I'm not sure if it's the game or my hardware, but I'd be curious to see if anybody else is experiencing this. Quite often I'll select a unit, say a brigade, in the unit panel or on the map by clicking on it. Then, completely unintentionally, the brigade will act as if I gave marching orders and show a movement path in some crazy direction. I'm sure this has something to do with me moving the mouse very slightly as I'm clicking (but not enough movement to order a unit to make a 35 day march - I'm not dragging the curser any great distance).

The frequency of this lessens if I'm very careful to not move the mouse as I click.

Has anybody else experienced this? Maybe it's got something to do with the mouse? I use a Microsoft wireless mouse.

I don't recall having this issue with BoA.

Happens to me in BoA, but it might be my mouse.

I use a wireless optical mouse and it can act weird when the batteries get low or cat hair gets into the laser hole under the mouse.

Cats, I love them and I loathe them at times.

I have similar problems - unintended moves with the mouse pointer - sometimes unintended in-and outzoom. Unintended clicking.

very nasty - I can't play the game !

reason = ATI Radeon video card problems

[jackfox]

Spruce, I read about your random zooming in and out and your clicking issues in the other thread. I'm not experiencing any of that - just the unintentional movements of units. I do have a Radeon 9800 Pro, however.

Can you load BOA and confirms it is not there?

Can you send my your dxdiag? (quote this thread in the mail please), to support@ageod.com

[jackfox]

Sure Pocus, I'll send it to you a little later on. Thanks for looking into this.

[jackfox]

Pocus, I've sent my dxdiag file by email. I forgot to mention, though, that I loaded BoA and couldn't duplicate this. It happens to me in AACW only. This isn't that big of an issue for me, and so far it doesn't seem like a lot of other people are experiencing this, so you might want to put this low on your list of priorities.

got your mail and answered, I hope some progress will be made on your issue.
