wtf is wrong with my game?

Davngr · 10-30-2009, 02:40 AM

so like 3 days ago.. my game started acting weird. i would run my mouse over to a spell to use and i would click but it would be unresponsive, also can't click on quest "accept" "buy" clickys.. nothing my mouse just stops interacting with the game for some reason BUT the game stays normal, meaning there is no lag what so ever and IF i use my hotkeys, i can play as if there was no problems what so ever.

so i ask any computer people out there, is this my comp or is this soe? and either way does anyone know anything i can do to fix it?

thanks in advance.

wireless mouse?

does this problem come up in any other application?

any other windows problems?

Swap the mouse to another USB slot or try another mouse lying around.

it's not wireless and i have tried trouble shooting the mouse it self and no luck. have not tried a new mouse since it's only with eq that it happens.

I've had this intermittently myself, I put it down to a dodgy UI update (prophet for me) but usually just restarting the game fixes it..

You may want to try clearing the game cache and settings. The game will rebuild the cache automatically but you'll need to reconfigure your settings manually so perhaps if you just start by renaming the relevant files / folders, just to see if they are the problem. You can always rename them back again if it doesn't work.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that if you're running vista then eq2 and aero often don't get on very well with each other. I've read of people having mouse related problems there.

I think if it was me I would try renaming/moving whole eq2 folder and redownload but not if I was still on the slower 6mbps DSL and not 20mbps cable

I would revert back to default and see if you still have problems. Or redo your UI.

My most recent screw up with eq2 was...

I zoned into the guild hall and it appeared as if I pressed f10, to where all windows were hidden for screenshots. No matter how many times I pressed f10, it wouldn't come up. I couldn't open any new windows at all. I deleted Profit and went back into default, same shit was happening. I uninstalled and deleted everything from the game and started over. That fixed it.

Disable Aero.
Disable most GUI things for Vista.
Get your CD's ready or that download link.
