Hi All,
My mouse behaves erratically during some fights - I think it has to do will animated spell effects on other characters - happened during fights in Iron Mines (esp groups of buffed orc mages), now with groups of undead monks (again with spell buffs being drawn). A sure-fire way for me to die since I can't select my character or target anything when it does that. Perhaps its a rendering speed issue? Seems to get worse with more active effects, but only during combat (?). As soon as I press ESC - mouse behave normally on menu screen. I am running the game normally (no special priv. or compat mode) - under Win 7 professional 64-bit. Everything else works OK, except for some odd texture glitch [red boxes for missing textures] at which point the game freezes. But I can usually play for more than an hour.
Any ideas? HAs anyone else had this issue?
Thanks,
Patrick

Ah - ok, I suppose that makes sense. Is that documented anywhere - couldn't find it myself? It certainly looks like a bug when it happens, and would likely cause confusion for others too. I'm not actually sure my character had an negative affects when this happened, but I will keep a lookout next time.

Edit: OK, the above is true - my character was indeed confused, which woudl explain the erratic mouse. Thanks for the help - hope this may help anyone else who thinks their mouse has gone wonky!

I saw the explanation when reading tips on the loading screen.

Hm, it would be cool if somebody would write down all those tips ;] Or.. extract them from the game somehow. Or are they already available somewhere?

Confusion reverses the directions, Disorientation makes the cursor shake/wobble, Blindness gives you tunnel vision and removes the cursor.

You can have all three status effects at the same time :)

Exhaustion (can't run), and Slow are far worse though.
