Quake3World

When I try to fire, one of two things will ocassionally happen:

1) My weapon will not fire and I have to click again once or twice to get it to shoot.

2) My weapon will fire but will continue to fire as if I had continued rapidly clicking the mouse afterward but will eventually stop after maybe 3 to 10 fires.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Cheap mouse + drivers?

Which drivers? I also have a $50 Logitech G5 and have no problems in any other FPSs I've been playing (S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Half-Life 2, Bioshock, Unreal Tournament 3).

I don't know what you have. What's your setup?

There's a few things you can try regardless... try setting in_mouse -1 at the console then in_restart.

But we'll at least need to know if you're on linux, mac or windows. And your game patch version. And your system specs.

Windows XP; I haven't done any patching, all I did was purchase it off of Steam and that automatically updates and it didn't download any patches, so I assumed it was all patched up; http://www.xfire.com/profile/faultyclockwork/ system specs are there, at the very bottom.

How do you get to the Console?

COnsole is the key below escape on your keyboard. Or depending on location possibly the ~ key to the left of enter.

To check the patch version, bring the console down and check out the low-right corner. version will probably be 1.32

Yes, I have 1.32. I just tried putting "in_mouse -1" into the console. I'm going to see how that works out.

EDIT: No more firing trouble now. I have another question though. Is it possible to set the game so it doesn't switch weapons when you pick one up?

it's in the settings menu and also in the console as cg_autoswitch 0

I couldn't find it in the menu, but I've been known to completely miss stuff that's right under my nose.

Thanks a lot for the help.

It's in the controls menu, under shooting
