mouse delay

Post by amaasbier »

hi there...
got a problem. my friend installed morrowind just today on his pc and if hes playin it he gets a mouse delay. so... if you move the mouse, the mouse cursor moves some seconds later...
that makes the game unplayable and not very attractive.
so - does someone know y this could be happening?
thanks

wow your machine is twice as fast as mine and I'm not having any problems! How Ironic. Anyway some suggestions & questions:

What dimensions are you running it in? 1024x768 or higher might be taxing to your comp

What video card are you using?

What kind of driver are you using?

What operating system? All drivers up-to-date? Have the latest patch? Are the sliders for AI and View distance all the way up? Real-time shadows turned on? Does he have any background programs like anti-virus running (they don't get along with Morrowind)?
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Do you mean you have no other open programs running? When my comp is messin up my games I usually shut down the non essential files. Press ctrl+alt+del and shut down everything that is not related to System or your Internet connection, also don't shut down explorer.
