Guild Wars 2

I posted this in another thread…

Posting here real quick to add another ‘area’ of target loss, and I think this is my issue after disabling the right clicking (I actually think I have not only the right click issue, as some days are worse than others, but my mouse is actually acting up as well so double the fun).

If you have a target, and LEFT CLICK somewhere on the screen off of them, you lose the target.

I think what’s happening is when I’m casting something on the ground (I have the default actions for that), and I don’t think it goes off for some reason, I get click happy and start trying to spam the action (which then causes me to click on another target).

[EDIT]

..and here’s some more thoughts. I notice sometimes that I use the left button sometimes to walk forward while I have the right button held down to move the camera. I suspect the target loss in that situation is the right click failing, and the system going “oh, you’re left clicking on that empty spot? okay…”

Yeah, for sure it’s not pleasant. I’m wondering if perhaps my experiences with it though are a failing mouse.

So it was another bad day and I decided to try different things to see what I could find out.

First, the way I can reproduce this issue is by right clicking and just running the mouse around the game area and eventually it loses focus and then eventually it’ll regain it.

Next I’d like people having issues to try right click dragging around the Windows desktop. You should get a square selector and when you let go of the button it should bring up the right click menu.

If the mouse is losing the ‘square’ without you releasing the button I’d like you to try putting more pressure on the button (press hard) and see if you can reproduce the issue with the Windows desktop and in Guild Wars.

Basically, what I noticed was that if I pressed down harder on the button I didn’t have any issues.

I suspect maybe it IS the mouse and we’re just feathering the touch.

And really how often are we holding down the right button for extended periods of time? I think maybe we just haven’t noticed this issue before because we weren’t using the mouse like we are in Guild Wars 2 (though Diablo 3 comes to mind so maybe that wore it down a bit? hah).

Anyways, just curious to see what results people might have.

Man, it’s really bad right now. It’s definitely not an issue of clicking on things in the background.. there’s no one around and it’s very quiet where I’m at.

A test I did because it was being really annoying…

I can right click and start moving the mouse all around and it responds properly, but then it stops responding and I get the cursor.

Without releasing the right click…

I can keep moving the mouse all around the game window and it’ll eventually pick it back up and start causing the camera to move again.

Basically.. I can keep the right button held down indefinitely and watch the game lose/regain/lose/regain the connection.

Add me to the list.

I think maybe I’ve had this issue all along, but I can’t remember and it certainly wasn’t as bad as it has been lately. It was pretty bad during the festival activities and in combat so maybe it’s right clicking on “something” that’s causing it to lose the connection.

Logitech G700 using whatever drivers Windows 7 assigns. I’m using it in wireless mode.
