Great mouse lag in menus

zarkon

I am playing on a WinXP SP2 machine, which HAS the optimal requirements. I have absolutely no problems ingame, but in menus and on planets it takes forever for the mouse to move and it’s pissing me off totally. I am using DirectX 9.0c and nVidia Geforce 6100 GPU. I also have the nVidia Control Panel installed - can someone point out to me what to do to reduce this crazy mouse lag?

Although the solution was regard V/7, it might still help you:

Set Cut Scene Detail on max. Otherwise you get only 20fps^^

No it didn’t… anyways I think there is no solution and it might be my GPU, because I have tried like 5-6 solutions and none worked… would any FL version update do? i have FL 1.0, unmodded
EDIT: i will completely eradicate my DX9.0c files and will download another version… any ideas which version could do it for Freelancer?
PS: all detail options are on max

Syd

Well… if you play FL on highest settings with an 6100GPU you´ll get video lag, too.
I played with 6200 some years ago.

actually i dont game any ingame performance issues with all settings on max, i also tried to make them all lowest, no change in mouse lag

what a mouse you use? How much dpi?

zarkon

standart ps/2 mouse, model is delux if it matters, i dont know how to check dpi, but its an old mouse
ps : it lags only in freelancer
