Guild Wars 2

After a month of having this issue on, and off. I’m starting to think its a combination of the game, and the mouse.

While I haven’t been able to replicate it in any other game that requires holding mouse2. I did notice on my desktop if I hold and drag every once in a while my shell menu will flash up briefly. Or the drag box will re-center.

It seems for some reason in GW2 if mouse2 stops being held for the smallest fraction of time, then starts again the game loses focus. Rather then just going back to the issued command. However in other games, or even ventrilo its a-lot more forgiving . It will just go back to issuing the mouse2 command like nothing ever happened.

Assuming you changed nothing software/hardware except the display. It would be caused by an unsupported resolution. Tv’s are really picky about what res they allow. Depending on the age of the TV it’s probably 1366×768, or somewhere in that area. Hook back up to that old monitor. Change the res after game launch to your tv’s native. Then swap back.

I’m sure there is a way to force a res change for GW2 outside of the game. However I don’t know of one yet.

Youtube was being painfully slow so I threw a video of it up on mediafire :

Bound ventrilo key click to mouse2 for the video as proof that its not the mouse that is cutting out. Hopefully this helps.

Have had the same issue for a couple weeks as well.

Really doubt its a driver issue. I have a Saitek mouse that’s on up to date drivers/software. Right click never actually stops being pressed and continues to function in everything else when it happens. On top of that you can hold left+right mouse and do the “keyboard free” directional running. Right click never drops out, and suddenly turns into you just panning the screen with mouse1.

Its gotten a lot worse with the last few GW2 patches. PvP etc… is actually unplayable as you never know when the games going to register the camera movement. Also the game stops retaining your mouse cursor so sometimes I’ll get tabbed out on my second monitor with my shell menu open :/

Same issues here with a Rat5 mouse. Tested with ventrilo key clicks. Right click never actually deactivates when it loses focus in game.
