I have a badly delayed mouse, any suggestions please ? Oh I have no technical knowledge
+1
same issue here
nearly impossible to find hidden collectibles, moving across the island is terribly delayed too and on blocks i'm only praying mouse pointer will arrive at the designated spot before it's too late...
I wonder if there are more with the same issue and to what it can be related (browser/flash?), but most surely it degraded our playing experience severely :(
I have been having intermittent problems starting about 3 days ago with scrolling using the mouse. Usually such things would be local to the machine I'm guessing. Maybe not. For me, it hasn't been so bad that's it's messing me up though.
btw - same on another machine with identical configuration.
I too began having trouble today... am unable to click on any buttons of the in game screen. I am able to click on the home page... and all other websites I visit as normal, but once the page loads and I get the "√" box to close out that first pop up screen, it won't click. I mouse around and nothing else is responsive to the mouse.
it may be an issue with firefox specifically, the browser I have used for the last couple years, because when I loaded an inferior browser that I don't usually use, and logged in with that, the site performed perfectly. I Tried updating flash and firefox but the problems while in firefox persisted and continue now after maintenance is completed

Same here, p.c. with windows 8.1, scrolling doesn't work anymore since yesterday.
Here at the forum it works fine...........
My mouse wheel doesn't work in game either, works fine everywhere else, and only since the day before maintenance. What has changed?
heard from support that our version of ie is no longer suported
Scrolling seems to work again Under Windows 8..1
Which version is that ?Quote:

so, my conclusion is it all comes with the game as i tried many different browsers and with every single one of them is the same...
BB, please fix this asap, lots of people are complaining yet im unsure why only 2 pages so far in this thread
Couple of info's/fixes for things mouse related.
1. Lag when click drag scrolling across an island is somewhat local machine related, the faster your graphics subsystem the less lag. On my main machine with a discrete graphics card it's fine. On my laptop with just the cpu doing the work, its a bit laggy. You can turn the graphic detail down on the cog menu in game, this may help on slower machines.
2. If you lost the ability to zoom with the mouse wheel using windows 10 edge browser a couple of days ago (may affect ie, don't know don't use it, and doesn't affect ff) this is windows being weird when it had that major update. The fix is settings/devices/mouse & touchpad and turn "scroll inactive windows when I hover over them" off.
Don't ask me what that phrase actually means or is really supposed to do because I don't have a clue, nor do I really know how I found out that fixed it :P
didnt help me what you suggested as it all comes from some bad coding, why am i then being able to run alot greater demanding tasks and having problems with TSO only ?Quote:

I can't be sure of the exact release, but it was around that time.Quote:

Fortunately, it's just an occasional lag and doesn't last long so it's not interfering with my play.
I didn't say it was all local, the key is "somewhat". ;)
I have posted elsewhere in the lag thread and indeed I am as critical as anyone else of the general lag since xxl particularly. And I completely agree that a browser based game ought to run on a regular machine without issue, and it does not, so there may also be bad or less than optimal coding, after all it's not skyrim or such....most of it is static.
There were several posts in here mouse related, and I simply tried to help some of them. Maybe...
sorry, despite best wishes your threads didnt help as it's related to the server side, and not the client sideQuote:

Over Germany way there's an 8 page thread on the recent mouse scrolling issues, including a post that echos Eeyore's second suggestion here:
The German with following reports of success: Bullyparade's suggestion.Quote:

I had the same issue(mouse delay) in Chrome. I disabled the hardware acceleration in the settings and it solved the problem.Quote:
