Mouse cursor jumps randomly when left/right-click draging camera

Recommended Posts

Hey guys.

I just started here and got the game installed last night (weee :) )
Anyway. I had, and still have, issues with my cursor suddenly jumping to a random place on the screen while either left-click or right-click dragging the camera around (actually it seems more often that the cursor jumps to the middle of the screen).

I found someone with a similar problem in this thread: forum.elysium-project.org/topic/34316-game-rotates-my-mouse-20-180-deg-around/

This doesn't work for me however so I would like to know if there are any other possible solutions.

Note:
When running the game with the settings described in the linked thread my game start to get severe, and permanent, lags on the second alt+tab I do.
Only way to solve that is to close the game and open it again.

Don't know if i wrote this in referenced post but, should start with throwing away the config.wtf file in WTF folder first.  Incase you have some funky info in there.  Disable all Addons to make sure it's no them.

try this, right click the WoW.exe Shortcut > 'Properties' > 'Compatibility' Tab > Check 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings'.

also try right clicking WoW.exe and tell it in compatibility mode to use recommended settings.

Thanks for answering :)

I'm positive it's not the 4 addons I have since the problem has occurred since I logged in the first time.

I have tried disabling 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings' in all kinds of "Compatibility Mode". Only the Windows 7 and 8 modes will let me play. The others will make the game crash of the first frame showing after the loading screen is done.
The problem still occurs though.
This also means the recommended settings by Windows will not let me run the game (XP Servicepack 3).

Sadly same story with the config.wtf it seems. Although.
When the config file was deleted all interface configs were reverted back to default. 1024x768 resolution fx.
Here the problem did actually not seem to occur.

My highest resolution setting (and the one I have been using) is 1680x1050(wide) (yes, lame I know).

Edit:
Also. Now I am fairly sure the cursor always jump back to the mid point of the screen.

Throwing the kitchen sink at this badboy : )

Do a search in forum again for similar problem.  A good handful of people have had it, and found different solutions.  Let me know if you discover a solution that works for you.

If Jorn's suggestion doesn't work, here's another batch of post to sort through.

Thank you.
Windowed mode did nothing.

What does seem to have had some kind of effect is lowering my mouse DPI. Right now I'm running 800 DPI and a update rate of measly 125.
The issue is still there though.

Edit:
I still need to test this in combat though. It might be the same as before in reality.
