Mouse issues

[Carnage]

Just started playing again after a looooooooooong layoff and  while I know that there is a little "reload" time between rail shots my mouse is giving me fits. The damn thing only shoots every other click of the mouse..........more than a little frustrating.

MS optical USB mouse.......nothing fancy.

Any ideas?

TIA

Might also want to check your netgraph.  When connected to a server, type "netgraph 1" in your console.

If you see red lines on the graph, (packetloss), this can also cause shots not fire when the button is clicked.

most likely lag... or it's time for a new mouse.

i can certainly attest to packetloss causing the exact thing to happen in my case.  the rail not coming out every time i click is only one of the things that was happening to me.. i couldnt see incoming rockets sometimes, didnt see rail trails (not as big of an issue) could not double jump..    gentlemen, feast your eyes on my netgraph from say 3 months ago, t4 i believe.

wireless FTW!

this is not wireless, and there were no other programs or downloads running besides q2.  This is the ethernet my apartment complex has provided for 2 years.  I ping in the 20-40 range, so its not like anyone would believe how shitty it is.  ping reflects the speed of a connection and not quality.

Well it would be hard to argue that I don't need a new mouse............this one has more than a few miles and frags on it.

I take a look at the netgraph if I play later tonight.

Thanks for the help ya'll!

Well it ain't lag and while my skills aint what they used to be I think I'll blame it on the mouse...........time to go shopping.

yeah the Deathadder is pretty sweet!
..even if it does cost 3-4 times more than my mouse!

Not a bad investment really. I suggest it.
