Guild Wars 2

Hello. Lately i got this problem, it was mentioned before, but i dont know if theres a fix.
Some say relog/restart but none of that worked for me.

The probem:
Whenever i hold the left/right mouse button to rotate my camera view, it spins chaoticaly mad around. The “reason” is that when hold the cursor is repositioned at the center of screen. Dont know why that happens, but its 100% sure. When cursor is closer to middle it is much less chaotic. I have had the same problem when playing a other game in a virtual machine. Maybe same non native problem?

My mouse:
I use a razer mamba and a cyborg rat3. I believe i got this problem when i installed Smoothmouse, a sooftware which makes the mouse movement (acceleration curve)
in OSX almost like in Windows. Force quting or turning of the program doesnt fix the problem. I used other “more dangerous” mouse modification sofware before, and it never stayed after a relog. I also tryed a lot combinations with manufacturer drivers / software and other mouse edditing tools, but that was mostly to get my mouse 4/5 recognized (apple u sux).
Both mice have internal memory for dpi settings. the razer mamba i set up the stages in windows and it memorizes them in osx. U could even turn/scale mouse accel. with razers drivers, none if which had a impact on gw2. the rat3 is worse on mac, without drivers the hover of cursor isnt even recognized and custom dpi doesnt work (just premade 800-1600-2400-3200dpi).

Does anyone know a fix for the spinning problem?

p.s. i know i was long on the mice, i just wanted to tell stuff i alreay tryed

Could you give us an estimation as to how often this happens? I’ve had this problem yesterday, for the first time ever since the Mac beta client was available. (Razer Deathadder, no additional software, Mountain Lion on a recent iMac)

Several other users have reported this problem as well, but we still have no good idea how frequent this happens.
Also, which Mac are you using?

In past months it happened rarely, but after restart of game/ computer it was gone.
Now its permanent the mac is good, and since other have it its probably os related

I have Lion 10.7.5 ( maybe update from 10.7.4 changed something, as most of my mouse quirking was on that)

21-inch Imac 2011 (Mid)
2.5 GHz i5 processor
HD 6750M 512 MB graphics
8 BG RAM (4 normal + 4 extra)

I doubt its related to the mouse software Smoothmouse since:
-it was hapening sometimes before i used it
-it hapened in another emulated game
-many other poeple have also had this problem, which i doubt all have been messing with their mouse drivers

I agree that it probably isn’t smoothmouse by itself. I don’t use it at all and still had the same problem.
Have you tried changing the general OSX mouse & touch settings (speed, acceleration, touch gestures)? Experiment with those settings, disable anything you don’t need, try if it has any effect on the game.

mine does this periodically also. However my friend that plays with me happens every time. The only way he can fix it is to reinstall the game which takes so much time to DL. Seriously pay for a game and can’t fix this issue? Highly frustrating. fix it please.

This sounds like something mine does occasionally too. I just fiddle with my mouse/movement/jump keys for maybe 30 seconds and it fixes itself and I keep playing. I’ve never had it get stuck this way and been unable to fix it in this manner.

Is your friend aware of this fix?

Essentially that puts the game back into the default state, without the need to redownload everything.
