Wind & Smoke

I guess it's a bit difficult to describe. I've read some posts about sticky mouse buttons - e.g. press NUM key twice to unstick right mouse click - but it seems to happen almost all the time.

Some more examples - when I'm in periscope view and I press the right button so that i can control the turn of the scope sometimes it will stay locked in that view when I try to bring back the mouse cursor again.

- I tried to control the hydrophone and had to click many times before it accepted the input, then the same again to exit back from it.

I don't think making a video will work because I've no microphone so won't be able to indicate when I'm clicking to show when it isn't working!

Maybe it's my mouse then?

Try to compare your gameplay with those available on youtube so you can estimate better does the issue comes from the stock game it self or maybe from your installation/OS/drivers/hardware ect...

For a start remove that Sweet FX thing and FPS limiter...

OK great idea, I'll try without those things first.

It was the combination of SweetFX and antilag d3d9.dll

This is from the page detailing its installation:
"Important if u wanna use antilag d3d9.dll then Sweetf FX is not compatible with antilag d3d9.dll !!!!!! sweet fx will overwrite the antilag d3d9.dll"

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=223128

I uninstalled SweetFx but put in a fresh copy of d3d9 as I was having frame rate issues before SweetFx and...

Now it runs buttery smooth! It's like a breath of fresh air, moving around the boat and clicking on things is so much easier!

Thanks a lot!

Hi Vecko
Good diagnosis, with a positive outcome.

I wonder if Ryds gpu is a low spec one and that is why he is having to use antilag.
It might also be worth considering turning down the in game graphic settings as well could pick up the frame rates.
