Mouse click = delay in game

[Conditioned]

Hey,

I have a win7 64x with a deathadder 3g.

Whenever I play bfbc2 there, sometimes, seems to be a delay between me clicking the right mousebutton and the game reacting.

I read that there is a delay between the click sound in windows and clicking the mouse, this is not the case here. I have even removed all graphic eye candy except smooth fonts and visual styles on ...bars iirc.

All the drivers, firmware/bios are the latest.

So my question is, do you know of something that can be the problem? Also is there some way to automate visual styles through maybe a bat file so that I can have all the eyecandy on when I´m not gaming?

This is my .bat for starting bfbc2.

pskill everything.exe
pskill everything-1.2.1.371.exe
pskill NvXDSync.exe
pskill vmware-usbarbitrator.exe
pskill trustedinstaller.exe
pskill hqtray.exe
pskill afcdpsrv.exe
pskill wish.exe

net stop "windows update"
net stop "UxSms"
pskill WmiPrvSE.exe

cd "C:\Spel\Bfbc2\"
start "BfBc2" /abovenormal /b "C:\Spel\Bfbc2\BFBC2Game.exe" +fullproc

Since I don't play BFBC2 I don't think I'll be able to help much but I'v found that if there is a setting to allow the hardware to be in charge of rendering interfaces and menus, if it gets overloaded because it is having a tough time dealing with the 3D portions of the game, that it may cause "input lag" that can consist of mouse clicks, typing, etc. If you have high ping and the menu needs information that comes from a game server, that can cause problems as well (I mention this because you said you have a 3G card and cell networks are horrible for gaming because of the high pings that can be present).

Also, maybe you are loading up too many add ons and your processor just can't give you that instant gratification you're looking for?

I'm just throwing out ideas here.

Hey,

Thanks for your input.

The 3g is for the deathadder mouse, it´s simply their 1800dpi mouse sensor.

There are no addons for bfbc2 though.

My ping is fine too, its usually (hard to tell with bfbc2) below 40ms.

Have you tried starting BC2 without any bat file and simply through it's own .exe with just normal priority etc?

 

[SleeStak]

common fixes for mouse lag suggested for BFBC2 are to try disabling mouse acceleration and Vsync in the game settings

you might be able to find more suggestions in the BFBC2 EA forums

Yes I tried that.

Try with a wired mouse. Try lowering the graphics even more (in game). check for updates to the game online. Fill out your system specs on your profile for this forum. Definitely don't mess with priorities for games. DO start it normally, if nothing else than just to see the differance it makes.

Deathadder 3g is wired.

Cant its already at its lowest.

check for updates to the game online.
Done that.

Have you done anything like increase the polling rate on the mouse?

I think the problem is that you're still not sure of the OS and your hardware; thus, you're killing processes and tweaking your system down instead of up. 7 is not 98SE. Gamers no longer need Black Viper, in fact, going that route does more harm than good.

You have 6GB's of RAM. You can keep all the eye candy on and still play games just fine. You never needed to stop any of the processes to begin with... and perhaps that's what's going on with your game... you've inadvertently killed something you shouldn't have?

If there's a way to undo everything you've done in terms of tweaking, I'm fairly certain BC2 will clear up.

The few times i have had lag issues like that with a mouse the only thing that fixed it was plugging it into a PS2 port using a USB>PS2 adapter. Apparently USB can be laggy due to conflicts that may not show as a conflict, or any number of reasons. PS2 is not a device in the same way and doesn't have anthing to compete with so it has no such issues. I always used PS2 after that for my mouse and never had that issue in any games again. However, with windows 7 i don't seem to have any issues like that at all and i've been using the mouse in USB.

Never had a USB input device, especially a mouse, lag. Not sure where you heard that from but take it with a grain of salt. If it's lagging, the device and or your PC sucks which in your case both seem to rock pretty well.

Do you have your mouse driver installed on another hard disk (instead of your main)? This may cause problems. 80 GB SSD should be plenty of space to put all your drivers, OS, page files, index, and updates on. Perhaps try a reinstall of the game (providing it only happens in that game). If PS/2 works, use it. USB is faster and should work, and like others have said, perhaps you tweaked something to mess it up. I'm not sure if someone mentioned this but in BIOS is legacy USB enabled? Is there a difference when you put the computer into sleep (or hibernate) vs. just shutting it down (unless you already shut it down)?

you can set 250/500/1k in the razer drivers. yes they are at 1k.

Yea I reinstalled win7 before coming here.

Thanks for the tip tried it, no go.

Do you still have the problem when using Window's mouse drivers?

I´ll try that.

Do. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how little functionality is lost not using the razor drivers.
