Post subject:  Slow camera rotation

Sometimes I do random things such as trying to play NWN. However it doesn't quite get along with my current setup. Technically everything except shiny water works fine, but I can't get the mouse rotation to be sensitive enough. I need around five times the length of my mouse pad for a 180 degree turn. That isn't useful at all and pretty much makes the game unplayable for me. It just doesn't feel like it did on my old 1280x1024 monitor. I've used several different mice, although only Logitech ones. One random no-name garbage, one MX518 and one M705.

Other possibly relevant stuff:
Windows 7 x64
XFX 5870
1920x1080

Any ideas?

I don't have my playin' comp in front of me right now, but there should be an option under controls that allows you to determine the rotation speed. I don't believe it has anything to do with your setup.

I got the same setup and no problems. I am pretty sure there's a setting for this in Options...

1.Control panel
2.Hardware and Sound
3."Mouse" under Devices and Printers
4.Pointer options tab
5.Change pointer speed.

Simple.

Escape -> Controls -> Camera turn speed.

If that one's maxed out, I suggest just using the arrow keys to rotate your camera. It's what I always do anyway since I play in windowed mode.

A hammer will make it faster. If you dont have a hammer, the above suggestions should work, as well.

I didn't know you were Russian.
Use a non-marring mallet instead, I like rawhide myself, that way I can chew on it while I wait for it to work.

What about Captain Hammer?

In my experience, holding down the mouse wheel and manually turning the camera where I want it to to go consumes the least mousepad estate.

I should have mentioned it but you underestimate me if you think that I am not aware of the rotation speed settings after around seven years of owning NWN. It doesn't affect the middle mouse button rotation speed, which is what I use. Changing the mouse sensitivity makes the rest of the game unplayable.

Post subject:  Re: Slow camera rotation

I use the middle button, too and no problems. Maybe it's something else in your setup causing it?

There's an option in the nwn.ini that might help if you change it to 1 or 0. It's under [Video Options]

Enable HardwareMouse=1

Once your mouse is at the edge of the screen, I'm fairly sure you don't need to keep moving the mouse....

Post subject:  Re: Slow camera rotation

Yes, but the middle mouse button is more flexible in that I can move in any direction at any speed without having to move the mouse away from potentially important buttons. Plus I've used it for so many years that anything else feels wrong.

Post subject:  Re: Slow camera rotation

Yeah I know what you mean, I have screen edge turning unchecked because it doesn't like windowed mode much, so I only using the middle mouse button or the keyboard to turn the camera.

You are forgiven~

I shelled out ten bucks for GoG's allegedly optimized version and it does work better. Still doesn't feel as fast as I remember it but that's the price for a bigger screen estate.
