Mouse look completely unusable.

[Gylen]

Hello, I sometimes play on my work laptop and use a Virtual machine copy of Windows XP on it.

For some reason or another, the mouse look is completely messed up. It is *INSANELY* accelerated. Moving the mouse even slightly will rocket the view into that direction.

Any ideas?

Set max fps to about 40 or so.

[Gylen]

No, you really don't. It's not usable at all, and this is coming from the same type of gamer as you are.

I tried what Jasonz suggested, with no luck.

Wish I had this bug... mouselook is insanely slow for me, but I'm probably spoiled from years of Counter-Strike. It takes me almost two inches of mouse movement to do a 360 turn in P99, wish I could get it down to about 1cm like I'm used to. Mouse sensitivity at max in game options :/

Change your max fps. The higher the better for mouse-look sensitivity.

[SwordNboard]

Try lowering it to 40 or 60 then. Maybe I had it backwards.

[Gylen]

I've tried both, with no luck. Max FPS, 40, 60, 10. Nothing.

Have you tried lower the mouselook sensitivity in options?

Also, try decreasing your dpi and turning off mouseaccel in mouse settings.

I made a post about this back in 2009 on another forum account of mine and never found a resolution to the problem. The mouselook sensitivity setting nor the max FPS suggestion worked when I tried them. I think I found a post addressing this problem years later, but by that time I had gotten my hands on a PC and it was no longer a problem.

I'll try and dig around on these forums for a solution later on. If I find it, I'll post it. I just bought myself a new macbook pro and I plan on installing windows/VMware and running p99 on it, and I'm sure I'll experience this problem again myself.

I play on a bootcamped macbook pro and have never had this problem.

Have you tried using Windows via a Virtual Machine with software like VM ware? If so, do you have a good comparison of Bootcamp versus VM? I'm curious as to the pros/cons of each method.

And, what version of windows are you running by chance?

[Babayaaga]

Mouselook sensitivity is the only way to fix it. You just have to play with the slide bar until you get the setting that works. This is an issue with virtualization only (Wine, VMWare, Parallels), and affects many games… not just P99. In fact, P99 has given me the most successful "fix" I've encountered in any virtualized game yet.

Sounds like a absolute vs relative mouse coord position issue with the VM. Same thing happened to me in various games using remote desktop. A search for your VM + absolute relative mouse might turn up answers.

Hope this helps.

Having this issue using VMware 8 with windows 7. It's like the OP described:mouse sensitivity is through the roof. I was able to lower it in all places (logitech software, in game etc) but still no resolution

Have you tried making sure the game runs on a single core? There were issues with that in the past

Went crazy with this issue for a couple of days, but I finally found the solution that works with vmware fusion, do this:

All other tips - vsynch, limiting fps, running on 1 core, etc etc. only start to apply once you do this.
