The mouse control in Iron Storm is very poor!
1. The mouse pointer's sensitivity changes if the pointer is moved from a wall to a free area, this is very annoying and should be changed. Otherwise there should be an option to disable this.
2. The mouse jumps if the pointer is moved from a wall to a free area. This should be changed, how should i hit the guys in the head with such a poor control. ;-)
3. I don't like the pointer changing its size depending on what it points at. I would apreciate an option to disable this behaviour.
4. In some scenes the little red dot pointer is very hard to see (especially in action), it would be nice if they add other pointers and let the user decide.
5. Sometimes my mouse locks for about 2 or 3 seconds. This very annoying and it again shows how poor the mouse control is coded. This must be changed.
6. Sometimes the game accesses my CD-ROM/HD (i see a CD-ROM icon in the upper right corner of the screen) which causes the game to stop for a second. As well very annoying.
Except the sound effects and that many annoyances, there's absolutely nothing special about this game, the graphics aren't special, there is no sound. Iron Storm seems to be a very low budget game. I am very upset with this game, but i'm still hoping they'll release a new patch wich solves these issues. Otherwise this was my last experiance with DreamCatcher Interactive, Inc./Wanadoo Edition/4x Studio and i'll sell the game to anybody else as long as it's hot.
Any hints on how to do these changes myself (maybe some configuration changes) are highly welcome. I'm sure these problems have nothing to do with my computer, because i played and i am currently playing other games which work very fine on my computer.
