Hello,

after updating to latest  in this case 31041 (if you had read previous posts on my codeblock error-realization).

adujusted option to what i thought is optimum (lowest settings (texutre, lighting to 1 etc...) and mouse still moving erratically after soldiers selections is made. that is i select   then move the green box to desired...  does not respond, becomes more erratic/jumpy with crosshair "is futher away" from the green box, in respect to desired speed/motion of the mouse in my hand. have to wait for the green box to "catch up".  >:(

Window XP sp3, 1.6mhz laptop with optical mouse. (hint is running in window mode) and when i mouse outside of the game window... is normal behavior.

can anyone advise on this quirk?  :)

i think your graphic card is slow, or you dont jave have driver.
You should post your console message from game, it should say everything

Hello,

I should have clarified.  Was using the UFO-AI 2.3 as revisions progressed, mouse functions is working normal.

Later, I came back on and discovered 2.3 was released as stable, this is where the problem occurred. therefore has nothing to do with how old driver/video card is.

In fact because of other game i was playing on,  I updated the drivers.  and is OpenGL 2.0 compliant.

You easily can check your FPS as said Kobold. If FPS is very slow, sure your cursor can't move faster (it's only a symptom). Anyway nothing you said can help us, i think. That why console message is good way to start.

Hello,

like i said earlier  came back after several month hiatus (feels like a year?), 

and noted this erratic behavior.  I got back in getting code-dirty, turns out the suggestions posted were wrong.  It is the video-graphic settings. the current video settings in static 2.3 has resulted in increased or excess processor time.

All you guys need to do is either configure for lower video settings or reconfigure the buffer (I recommend lower video settings).

using FPS or console log does not reveal this processor time problem.

To see this processor bogging is to use the Window Taskmanager and observe CPU use performance while running the game (sorry, I do not have solution for Linux or Mac).

Thank you,
R
