Sluggish mouse

New player here. Had Freelancer about a week and am wondering whether my mouse is WaD or buggy?

I'm hearing about mouse lag on the forum, but is it normal for the mouse to respond sluggishly? The cursor starts moving (near as I can tell) when I start moving, but it accelerates and then has to decelerate once I stop moving it. It feels like pushing a very heavy cursor, while I'm used to a lighter one.

Is your mouse moving ok in standard windows programs? What is your Ram size? And, in Freelancer, you can adjust senstivity of the mouse. All these can have an effect on it.

Yes, 512MB and I've tried it.

Oh, and thanks.

(I just tried enabling mouse acceleration in games and that hasn't done anything. Changing the sensitivity just makes it either harder to click on buttons, or harder to get the mouse to move in the first place.)

Does your mouse work exactly as it does in Windows?

Yes, it works the same. If your memeory, or graphics mem is low, it can slow it down abit. Try down grading the effects in the game a bit and see if that helps you.

Looks like that did it. Will experiment to find the optimal setting. Ta.
