'Sticky' controls

[Moridin00]

Hi there, I picked up this game yesterday and installed it no problem.

However the controls are vrey frustrating. If I move my mouse to look, it seems like there's a kinda 'drag' effect. it takes a moment to respond. Makes aiming tricky. Is this a known problem?

Also it seems like if I press forward, he 'accelerates' a bit before getting to full speed. This interferes with strafing etc. Really annoying!

Thanks

1.) Wich Version is Ur Game (1.00 or 1.6 or 1.64)?
2.) Wich Hardware do U use? CPU? GPU? RAM? Mouse?
3.) How many FPS do U have in the Game? Write "showfps 1" in the Console.
4.) Most Player dont use Mouseacceleration & smoothing, do U?
:)

That's right. His walking speed is up to 8.00 and with bunnyhopping you'll get at least 15.00 (in SinglePlayer). You can check your speed with
>speedmeter 1
via console.

Thanks for the welcome. :)

It's out-the-box so I guess its 1.00. I looked at patches but didnt see any fixes in them for this problem.

AMD 2.2, GeForce 5200, 500Mb Ram, MS wireless mouse and k/b.

IIRC mouse-smoothing is on, Im not sure about mouseacceleration tho.

The FX5200 is old & 512MB RAM isnt much too, but:
Wireless Moues & Keyboard is worse for FPS Gaming!
Also U can check in the /Options/Controls to increase the Speed of the Mouse.

Found out it was a frame-rate issue - other games get choppy at low rates, this one turns syrupy lol

turned graphics down and its fine now, altho very fast sometimes.. :D

thanks

FYI, you probably want to turn mouse smoothing off. You'll get much more precise control that way.
