(Considering that I can't aim well as anyway)

Starting today, my aiming retinal stays in the middle of my screen during games. I have to aim the whole mech to semi aim at an enemy mech. So I unplugged the mouse and reset my PC. Next game, same thing. I take a movement to look at F1 and no help. Then I also notice that my torso is turning from my mouse movements.

I do not want to play another faction game until I fix this. Even though we did just win two, lol.

Did arm lock get toggled on?

[TooDumbToQuit]

Turning it on helped a tiny bit but was still no real help.

I can't find a control that would lock my Aimpoint to the middle of my screen.

Thanks, however!

Mouse or keyboard problem?

Also, unplug any Xbox/3rd party controllers.

If i have my xbox controller plugged in, i cant turn my mech left or right. Maybe check controller drivers as well?

I use a Logitech G-13 gamepad but it has been a problem. (damn, that's a big picture) No other controllers etc. I simply do not understand it....

I am confused.

The mouse is supposed to move your torso?

Are you saying that your arm reticle isn't moving independently anymore? Thats just the arm lock toggle in the options, or holding shift if you have default controls.

Not quite sure what the exact problem is from your description.

The mouse does slightly move my torso. But not very far, I cannot torso twist for instance.

But it never leaves the middle of my screen.

The only way I can semi aim to is to point my whole mech at a target.

It is hard to explain, I'll see if I can get a recording of it on a testing ground. I do not want to screw others in a game.

OK, it seems better now. I use 2-3 mouses at the same time (one for gaming, one for normal use and one for my left hand when my right one hurts too much) but I always make sure they are "still". I even disconnected two of them (my Logitech Hyper mouse went down and they sent me a new, better-designed model and I only use it for gaming)

One thing I think helped was the DPI which is something I never messed with (I have no idea what the best speed is). I turned the "report rate"/"polling rate" up to 1000 and maybe that is helping. It was like running in sand before and I remember yesterday turning it to "restore defaults" in the Logitech gaming software.

Thanks, All! See you again on the field again hopefully RN45, I'm looking into buying two Roughnecks and they always make me think of you.

Cool. There is also a sensitivity slider in the game options to mess with.
