Problem with Mouse

Welcome to Subsim subboy!!

Rest assured, the issue is not with your mouse, but it's actually a glitch associated with running widescreen mods. When you click the mouse after moving around in periscope view, the cursor always reappears on top of the Fire button and causes the torp to launch immediately.

3 possible solutions:
- either you try another resolution - under some resolutions, the mouse cursor will not appear on top of the Fire button and nothing bad will happen. I read (but never tried) that 1600x900 doesn't have this issue
- you try a super mod (OLC, MaGui, Hitman Optics, etc.) that will not have the Fire button in the same place on the screen, thereby removing the problem
- if you need to stick with your chosen resolution and mod, the last resort is to de-activate the on-screen Fire button by following the instructions in this post: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...82&postcount=6
This will disable the button altogether, leaving the Enter key (or Ctrl+Enter if you're using GWX) the only means to launch a torpedo.

Tell us how that works for you.
