If the mouse is moving really slow, you can try setting "Options"->"Texture resolution cap" down a bit (you need to restart UFO:AI for it to work as far as i know)

Hi,
My problem is the same.
When I launch the game, for a second or two, mouse moves as it should, and after a moment it slows down drasticaly.
My config is:
ufo.ai_0.12beta1-multilanguage.run
on
Debian 3.1 Sarge (but almost Etch), 2.6.8-2-k7 kernel
the game is running in 800x600 resolution and texture resolution is set to "high".
Hardware: Athlon 2500 + 512MB(266MHz) + GF2MX - so i guess it's not a hardware problem
I use xorg and nvidia drivers - if it matters.

please help!

The Geforce2MX? try to enable texture compression and set the texture resolution a little bit lower
and please let me know whether you have problems at a 1024x768 resolution

[kilrathi]

no, it's not that.
With configuration 800x600, Texture compression = "ON" and texture resolution = "Medium", i have about 5 seconds of good working mouse and after that it goes 'bout 0,7 FPS.
Theres one more strange thing about the mouse: when it slows down, the cursor doesn't want to go to right side of the screen - for example in OPTIONS(Video) menu I can't point on arrows to change anything 'cause cursor stops about 100 pixels from right side of the screen.
Only a guess: isn't it something with videocard memory?
It reminds me problems with some card and some 3d Windows games.
Maybe i'll try on GF3 TI200 but i don't know if i'll have a time for that today.

sorry for my english - i'm polish and just got up from bed

Does running in windowed mode with +set vid_grabmouse 0 +set vid_fullscreen 0 solve your mouse problem?

[kilrathi]

no, it doesn't. It takes more time ('bout 15 secs) untill mouse slows down.

[Mattn]

try to set in_dgamouse to 1
start ufo via:
./ufo +set in_dgamouse 1

[Mattn]

there is a new version in svn which maybe fixes some mouseproblems - please report any problems

[kilrathi]

try to set in_dgamouse to 1
start ufo via:
./ufo +set in_dgamouse 1

nope. this isn't it.
I ve updated libxxf86dgal library - no changes
I've commented <Option         "omit xfree86-dga"> line in xorg.conf - no changes
I'll try on other VideoCard.
maybe it's some lack of 3d features in GF2MX

[kilrathi]

BTW: could you change "mouve" in this topic's subject? :mrgreen:

[kilrathi]

i tried on GF3TI200 - still the same, but:
- it took more time before the mouse started to act strange. (30 sec or even more)
- now i'm sure that after this "mouse crash" i can only point in places within 640x480 zone.

I'll look around for some fresh nvidia drivers - if it won't work, i'll download the newest version of UFO from svn and try again.

One more thing about the time before crash - in my opinion it may be related to ammount of VideoCard memory avaliable. But it's only a guess.
