Whenever I'm swinging my mouse around past the max speed, instead of continuing to move at the max speed, my mech will just turn, freeze, turn, freeze, turn, freeze. Is there a way to fix this? I'm really tired of having my crosshair get stuck when I need to make one last shot on someone.

what kind of mouse do you have?

[Acguy]

Wireless, which is what I thought the problem was, but I asked about it and allegedly it's a general thing and it only happens when I'm moving at max speed.

relax and be patience, always moving mouse smoothly, and you learn zen. 

 

1) did you change something in config files?
2) try change mouse speed in windows and on/off "mouse acceleration", or try change different dpi on mouse (if mouse can change dpi to lower/higher) maybe. 

to be honest, it is hard to understand where is the problem ( i mean, game, your mouse, or your playstyle) . the game actually have a turn rate cap, to not allow mech instatly turning in any direction always (the same like in "MechWarrior: Online", for example. Obviously, people not play in MWO the same way like they play in Quake 3 or Counter-Strike, you should control mech more smoothly).

Bring your dpi waaaaay down, see if that fixes it. What brand of wireless? The rate at which it transmits to your PC or dongle may not be able to handle the polling rate of the mouse itself.  

 

EDIT: Oh! Is it a bluetooth device running on Windows 7?

Yeah, but there are times I'm going to want to turn at max speed without my crosshair completely sticking.

It's a logitech mouse with a little USB plug it transmits to. Computer runs on windows 10.

Uninstall the drivers and re-install. Make sure to use latest manufacturer drivers, Win10 generics are flawed.

That didn't seem to do much, but I disabled my touchscreen drivers and haven't seemed to encounter the problem over the past handful of games.

Huh. Do you have an actual touchscreen? If yes, you likely have an impact on your screen somewhere or have really bad heat distribution.

Pretty sure you meant touchpad, right?  Like what is common on a laptop, little square with different material or finish on it below the spacebar area.  A touchscreen would be a monitor that responds to touch inputs, but now a days I guess it could be possible but unlikely you have a laptop with an actual touchscreen, seems that a desktop with a touchscreen would be even rarer though.

 

Sounds like something was polling it every few milliseconds and it was interfering with the other mouse.  It kinda makes sense because most of the touchpads work as dual inputs when a 2nd mouse is installed, so you can easily switch from one to the other.

 

Glad it seems to be fixed.

Care to explain this in greater detail?

 

I look forward to reading these dissertations on how impacts and heat distribution interfere with a capacitive touch sensor.

An impact sufficient to deform any of the layers would effect this. Whatever logic is built in to the controller or driver may be robust to it to some degree, but if you put a crater in the screen it will degrade the sensing capability.

 

A resistive type touch screen might be more vulnerable to heat (or at least I think so: electric permitivity varies less than resistance with heat in my experience), but I'm not sufficiently familiar with the application to give a confident answer on that. OP did not specify what type of touchscreen we are discussing anyway.

I do, but it's never acted up in any other game, and I can scribble my mouse around in circles in ms paint and get perfectly smooth continuous curves without any sticking. Hawken's turning cap must interact with it in some weird way.

 

Thought it's also possible that I've just gotten lucky and not encountered the problem by chance since turning it off, I've only played around 5 games since then.
