Guild Wars 2

I’ve been playing GW2 since Early Access and I’ve never had this bug before. I’ve been using a Logitech G600 to play the game for around 2 years now. I’ve been playing almost every day until a few weeks before the WvW S2 ended. Now, I just login a few hours a week. I noticed this bug since last week’s patch.

A few days ago, holding the RMB would work as intended. However, after a few seconds it will stop responding and I would have to let go of the button and hold it down again to control the camera. Today when I logged in, I can’t use the RMB to turn the camera at all.

I am able to right click on my inventory, and right click on party member portraits to make the menu show. So I am quite sure the RMB works in-game for everything else other than turning the camera.

A few info:

I’m running the game as Administrator and using “/clientport 80”. Tried disabling “Run as Administrator” and without the command line, didn’t help.

I also tried running Logitech Gaming Software on compatibility mode for Win7. Didn’t fix the bug.

After finding out about the bug, I installed the latest driver from http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gaming-software?section=downloads&osid=14&bit=64. Didn’t help.

I’ve also tried resetting everything to default. Controls, Sound, and even the Video settings. Also didn’t fix the bug.

Tried running the game in Fullscreen, Windowed and Windowed Fullscreen. Didn’t help.

I tried this fix: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Mouse-losing-focus-right-click-to-turn-not-working-Merged/4196851 and this one: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Mouse-losing-focus-right-click-to-turn-not-working-Merged/3384674. These fixes didn’t work for me either.

Update:

I play GW2 on my laptop. I tried unplugging my mouse and using my touchpad. Holding the RMB does allow me to move my camera. I still doubt this means my RMB is borked though, since I am able to use it to perform other right click functions within the game.

I tried uninstalling the software. Rebooting. Used all 3 USB ports on my laptop. Didn’t work.

Reinstalled the program. Rebooted. Even tried changing maps and switching to another character. Didn’t work.

TL;DR
RMB doesn’t turn the camera. Bug showed up after LS S2. Would like to play regularly again, but this bug is making it difficult for me.

Test with a cheap wired mouse just to prove to yourself it’s either in-game (very doubtful) or your hardware (mouse button, wireless connection, ect.). Just my 2 cents.

This is NOT a generic issue with the LS2 code or there would be thousands of posts like yours here.

My bro bought a mouse today, so I’ll test using that as soon as I can. Like I said, the RMB button works. I use hold+RMB on my other games and it performs its function as intended. I can also use other right click commands in GW2 just not to turn the camera while moving/in-combat.

I am NOT saying it is a generic issue, but rather pointing out when this bug started happening for me. I felt it was important to point out since I’ve been playing before the game even launched without encountering this bug. I also did not install hardware/software prior to the patch that could have affected my gaming experience.

That said, I’ll try to play GW2 using my mouse on my brother’s laptop and if I trigger the bug then it’s probably my G600 that has an issue with GW2.

If you’re looking for thousands of posts like this maybe you should check out the thread I linked above. It’s a Merged Thread about this issue that started a year ago, with a couple of recent posts that also mentions the LS S2 patch.

Are you using recording software like FRAPS? DXTORY?

I’m fully aware of that thread (pretty sure I’ve posted in it before) and most of the issues in that thread have been identified as either hardware issues or potential compatibility issues with certain mice or drivers. There are a few hangers on that insist it’s a code issue but most reasonable people have found their solution and moved on.

Keep in mind that the RMB camera turn feature of GW2 tends to stress the RMB HOLD ability of a mouse VERY heavily and where other games may not show the issue, they likely don’t require you to HOLD he RMB for extended periods of time like GW2 can.

After the recent patch, I am now back to being able to use my RMB to turn the camera. Only for a few seconds though, and I can’t make it happen all the time. About 1 out of 3 tries I will be able to move the camera.

Hey there,

Sounds like you’ve tried just about everything. I’d advise creating a support ticket so we can give you some one-on-one help.
