Guild Wars 2

Sometimes when i hold down the right mouse button, the game doesn’t register it, and the mouse “slips”.
Resulting in that i can’t control my character. And even worse, since i have dual monitor, the mouse slips to the other monitor and minimize the game.

This bug has been reported afew million times, even during Beta testing of the game.
And still it hasn’t been fixed.

Are you ever going to fix this bug? Becuase it’s unplayable to play PvP when this bug exist.

I have a Razor Naga mouse, all my drivers is up to date.

Can we keep this thread bumped until the developers stop rolling around in their money and accually fix this?……………….

bumping this message, so maybe it will be fixed…..

Main thread for this issue:
Mouse losing focus -right click to turn not working [Merged]
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Mouse-losing-focus-right-click-to-turn-not-working-Merged

Why it is in the “Technical Issues” forum instead of the “Bugs” forum doesn’t make sense to me. It was probably moved there by a mod so it won’t be given any attention since tech support is primarily players assisting other players. It is not a technical issue with users, it is an issue in the coding within the game, so it is a bug on their end that they need to fix, but have decided not to address. I don’t know if it is tied to graphical lag, game lag, server lag, skill lag, or any other lag that this game is suffering from, but it only gets worse with each new update to the game as well as an increase in newly affected players in the days leading up to an update. So with these two week updates, the game is always in a state of “leading up to an update” and “post-update”, so the influx will only increase each day. Several hundred more are now reporting it on here and in-game in the last week alone, on top of the tens of thousands already affected, many of whom have already quit the game/returned it/got a refund due to it being unplayable and not being addressed.

All of these are related to the same issue.

Issue: Mouse Button Loses Focus and Does Not Reacquire It

• This issue is tied to the present-since-beta bug that has never been addressed. Most of the time that this issue is present (it is inconsistent), the mouse actually loses focus and never reacquires it, which prevents character and camera orientation with the right mouse button and leaves the game in a completely unplayable state. Some days it is very bad and prevents you from even being able to play, other times it is only a couple times a minutes, but leads to frustration and not playing the game the rest of that day. Unfortunately, nobody really anticipates it being fixed any time soon. As I mentioned, it has been an issue since beta, so over 10 months of no acknowledgement or fix.

Issue: Nearby Friendly Target Being Selected Unintentionally Due To Mouse Button Losing Focus and Reacquiring It Quickly

• The recently added option to ‘Disable Right-click Targeting’ has helped with the linked issue of randomly selecting a nearby friendly target while moving your camera with the right mouse button. This happens because the mouse tracking has an issue to where the game reads you as releasing the mouse button (despite your having never released it) and then re-‘clicks’ the button down quickly. Due to this issue, if your cursor was over/near another friendly, then they become your new target as if you had intentionally clicked on them to select them.

Issue: Total Target Loss Due To Mouse Button Losing Focus and Reacquiring It Quickly Over Empty Area of the Screen

• However, disabling right-click targeting and interaction has simply made the issue of a new target stop happening, the issue of losing your target due to the glitch in mouse focus persists. Now we just have target loss due to the quick un-click and re-click of the right mouse button over an empty area of the screen which deselects the current target; instead of both target loss and random friendly selection.

Dual monitor is another issue that has a massive thread, went through 14 pages in tech forum and couldn’t find it though…would really be nice if “Search” actually worked on here, but that, too, has been broken for over a month.

note
The massive influx of players recently reporting this issue is a sure sign that it is getting much, much worse. With the forum ‘search’ feature not working (for over a month now) to find the existing thread on this issue, I am pasting this comment into the new posts so they will participate in that thread. I am not spamming. I am informing.
Solution?: Fix the problem, dozens of threads on this issue won’t be created each day.

Bumping this thread again, until a developer seees it and fixes this.
