Default Mouselook Skipping

Ever since I've started playing I've had an issue where my view skips around everyonce in awhile when using mouselook. Mouselook is usually 100% smooth for me, but when this 'skipping' happens it'll suddenly turn me in another direction (usually something like a sudden 180 degree turn), which is very annoying. This has even killed me a few times by turning me right back around into my pulls. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


Anyone have any ideas what could cause this / more importantly, would anyone be able to propose a potential solution!?


Thanks

Does it happen in other games too? I've noticed that with mice other than my MX518 if I move and lift at the end of the motion my characters in some games (if movement is mouse controlled) will immediately look upwards and spin.

Nope. Just EQ [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd suggest trying to figure out if it's your mouse setup first, and if the problem still happens then it's in the game/software settings.

If optical mouse, try new mouse pad (without reflective surfaces, all one dark color). If it keeps occurring, try a different model mouse.

Edit: Trying a different mouse pad seems silly, but I had a mouse pad way back when that had a huge list of HTML colors and the hex codes to go with it... My mouse would go wonky when I moved over the yellows.

Is your chipset the same as your graphics card? I had that same problem on my other machine (which is exactly the same as the one I have now) except the old one had an ati chipset while this one has nvidia. I used the same graphics card on both machines and it's an nvidia card. The computer I use now with the nvidia chipset has no hitching at all.

This is a common issue, no fix for it really.

I have this same problem, Windows 7, Intel Processor, Nvidia Graphics, and it jumps bad, and has thrown me in the lava in SolA a couple times.

I have an NVIDIA Chipset / ATI Graphics Cards. Perhaps part of the problem?

It's just strange that every other game runs 100% smooth and EQ runs 100% smooth all the time except for this mouselook issue. This never happens when using the keyboard to move and look up/down.

Happens to me as well on occasion. I think it may be the result of a background process (Windows) that lags the game a bit?

Dunno, really.
