Mouse movement troubles in Lugaru
Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2009 5:25 pm
After having virtually no problems whatsoever in Lugaru on the Mac for the past few years (or at least, none that were unfixable), an extremely frustrating one cropped up just today: if I move the mouse any faster than a crawl, movement ceases entirely. If I move it very, very slowly, I can look around fine, but as soon as I need to turn and look fast, the movement completely freezes up.
After troubleshooting for quite some time (uninstalling, reinstalling, swapping USB Overdrive — which I've been trying recently — for SteerMouse — which I bought some time ago) I realized I I hadn't played Lugaru since installing 10.5.7.
So, I tried Lugaru on three other Macs in the house that also have 10.5.7 (this is a Power Mac G5, the other is a Power Mac G4, and the third one of the older white MacBooks), and the problem persists. I also asked a fellow Overgrowth preorderer (Modfox, who you may have seen in the SPF) if he had any problems, and he does as well, though he's on one of the more recent iMacs with Intel, running 10.5.7.
As I mentioned, I'd never had this problem before 10.5.7, and seeing as how the problem is identical on two Power Macs and similar — albeit more difficult to trigger — on an iMac and MacBook, the problem is probably widespread.
So, my question is directed at the Mac users: have any of you with 10.5.7 had any trouble with mouse movement when looking / turning with any kind of speed?
Thanks,
