Hi all,
Installed the latest version - skipped the .3 - and all worked fine, sounds, windows, frame rates, all fine. Only two things happened that made me feel I should report.
One was this mouse lockup on exiting an arena. Completely froze up, had to Alt+F4 for the first time in my life.
The weird one was in middle of playing AH: suddenly, the game minimized and I stood before a message window in my desktop about something called "Magnifier" asking me to do some action. First time I ever saw it and it had 3 checkboxes and was saying something like my keyboard was not connected etc. In the bottom, it had a cancel button, I clicked it and it simply disapeared. Clicked on the minimized AH window in the taskbar and POP! there I was climbing in my Lend-Lease P40!...
Weird hey? What is the "Magnifier"?
-
having same issues when trying to shut game down
-
Same issue.
Mouse works fine initially, when I exit arena it locks ups.
-
I also had to alt f4 to after leaving an arena.
-
Same exact mouse issue

A few questions for you guys having this problem.
When you are in this condition -
1- Is your AH mouse cursor frozen of missing?
2- Is your frame rate showing 0?
3- Do you get a windows mouse cursor outside of the AH window? If so, does anything change if you click on the minimize button and then maximize it again?
-
No, my cursor isn't "missing", it sits just below the clipboard and "disappears" while trying to move it then re-appears when you stop having never mopved. Frame rate of 35 (which is good for my system).
I am able to minimize with alt-tab, which free's up my mouse, which freezes up again on the clipboard screen when I go back. :salute
P.S. I right clicked on AH tab while it was minimized and was unable to effectively click any options.

When the mouse is missing, can you resize your window?

Does anyone use the mouse to fly?

No, the mouse doesnt actually move, and i dont use it to fly.

I have this same issue but can use cntrl-alt-del to open the task manager and close aces that way so as to avoid the hassle of rebooting.

I just rechecked things and found something out that seems strange to me.
Firstly to answer your questions Hitech, the pointer is present but won't move and just blinks when moving the mouse around. You can't move it outside of the window either unless you hit the windows key, then it moves around but it does not seem to recognize the AH window after that. FPS was a 60 before this occurred and after.
The part that seems weird is everything works fine when I boot AH without using the FSAutostart but then has problem again if I use game with it. It also looks as though the window never fully loads. There is no mnimize/maximize/close button any longer, like there is when first starting the game.
I have a pic of what the window looks like after leaving arena and I will get that p as soon as I can get it uploaded.
EDIT:
Here is the pic

dkff49, can you try sizing your the window the first time it comes up? And then see if it changes things when you exit the arena?
Also can you minimize and restore from the task bar?

Hitech,
I resized the opening dialog (maximized it actually) then logged into the main.
When I quit the opening dialog came back at its original size and the mouse was visible and frozen. I used ALT f4 to kill Ah and am now posting this.

Hi Pyro,
Following your inquiry order:
1 - mouse cursor is stationary; when moved, disappears. You stop, he appears in the same place (to the left of the clipboard, inside AH window).
2 - frame rate is showing 45.
3 - the mouse cursor doesn't leave that spot, and it does not appear outside the AH window; I am unable to minimize, maximize, close the window or select anything in the clipboard. I'm stuck and must Alt+F4 to leave and start all over.
Note: the "Magnifier" message didn't show up anymore...
Thank you,
-
Ditto. When shutting the game down, I get no mouse when on the windowed start screen. Alt-F4 to end the game, and the mouse comes back.

Things just keep getting stranger. Now it seems to work fine for me.
Yesterday things were messed up when I played AH after using FSAutoStart like in my last post but not when I don't use it, Today no issues either way I open AH. The only things that are different for me were 1) I opened up offline to see if I could duplicate the problem coming out of offline and 2) there is a different map up in blue.
I don't think it has anything to do with the new map up and I can't see how offline would change anything either. I did not test it online prior to the offline test so I have no way of knowing if it would have worked before I went to offline.
What I am wondering is: Did anyone having an issue try offline? If any of you did then did you have trouble after going back to the start up screen? Or did things suddenly start working for you for a short while?

-
Same problem as dkff49, mouse cursor is frozen and I have to alt-f4 to close the game.

"Fixed a bug that caused mouse jitters in the opening menu."
Nope. Need another fix.
