Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’ve been playing GW2 for a while with my Razer Naga. I have had no problems until the beginning of this week or so.

The problem is that sometimes the game just doesn’t let me right click! I have tested this on other games and know for sure that my Razer Naga’s right mouse button is working just fine. It’s only GW2 that it sometimes does not register my right clicks. It seems like a lag between my mouse and the game. Shifting the camera with the right mouse button is very unreliable and has gotten me killed in-game several times when it fails.

I’ve searched for a solution all around and have only come across one video (http://www.youtube(dot)com/watch?v=4bXcatujeec). Did not work at all, I don’t think it was even addressing my problem in the first place.

Anyways, it’d be helpful if anyone knows a fix that doesn’t involve buying another mouse and/or throwing away my Naga.

EDIT: I have the latest drivers for my mouse.

Mouse losing focus -right click to turn not working [Merged]

All of these are related to the same issue. Most affected users encounter it with their Razer Naga and Logitech mice, though it has also been an issue for Hewlett Packard, Microsoft and generic brand mice.

Issue: Mouse Button Loses Focus and Does Not Reacquire It

• 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.

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

• The 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.

I would like to add that the only way I have even been able to play the game, after having this serious issue for over a year, is the AutoHotKey workaround mentioned in that thread.

StinVec has given an extremely helpful summary of some very annoying and long standing issues with the game. I hope some developers work on these issues soon.
