Yet my FPS is still around 75fps when this is happening??? it seems exclusive to using the deck guns?

Im running a highly overclocked (not the problem) GTX570, which runs this sim at 70+FPS all day smooth a ****. I do get the odd jumping with waves etc via it hitting 100+FPS on occations, but this is completely different!!

I only ever experience this when using the deck gun....it all start off as expected, with ships on fire etc (still at a constant 75FPS), then suddenly the "mouse view" only begins to lock up.....

Basically i have to keep pushing the mouse right for instance a few times for me to look about 4" to the right before it stops and then repeat to get it to move another 4" again and so on for all directions!!!

Thus if i want to move around i have to move my mouse in the direction i want to move (the WASD keys work fine) to look there by moving mouse across my desk, picking it up and moving in the same direction and again and again untill i get it to look in the right direction before moving forward!!!

This happens both inside and outside th sub every time i use the deck gun ???

Any ideas

It was something to do with a prog wanting 100% access to your mouse.
this was stopping the mouse.dll working
Check you taskbar for any mouse software running and switch it off

this ability to not look around using mouse when using deck gun and some ships are burning is more than likely being caused by my UIs mod. It's not the UIs mod per se that is the problem but rather it's continually polling for destroyed units because there is something wrong in your mod setup. It sounds like a unit name is not being found and thus my UIs mod knows that a unit was destroyed but it can't match up the unit to anything it knows and thus keeps polling for destroyed units. You need to run the DbgView app before starting your game and when this happens again send me the output from the DbgView app. Then I can determine which unit(s) are causing the problems.
