Mouse sensitivity

[Samuel]

My mouse sensitivity keeps on changing .... i've had this problem since installing the game ranger shit, now i uninstalled it but if i try to fix the mouse sensitivity, chances are the next time i start EE it will have changed into something also, and i have to fix it again.... thing is i play with a REALLY customized mouse setting, hence i need to sort this out.

I've also had this problem (and still have it actually). Every time I start EE my mouse sensitivity has a rather random value. I "fixed" it the following way:
1) Adjust the ball to the very left/right position
2) If you click right into the mouse sensitivity bar, the ball will move the same discrete amount every time you click .
3) Click until desired sensitivity is reached. Remember how many times you leftclicked (for me its just one)

This became a routine to me: Start EE -> Adjust mouse speed
I doubt this has something to do with gameranger.

The registry value for mouse sensitivity is in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SSSI\Empire Earth. You could try deleting it, then opening up EE and setting it, and finally checking to see if it retains.

still having the same problem, any solution?

I had that problem with a cyborg, dont have it with a razer tho, but thats prolly a different issue

[Samuel]

what razer have you got

Salmosa the cheap one, the only switch I can do is from 800dpi to 1800dpi

[Samuel]

Which switch do you use?

I tried to do exactly as Ghost recommended but I still have that problem, any idea on how to fix it?

[Samuel]

Okay, now the problem is the following ... whenever I fix it, it's fine in SINGLE PLAYER, even if I restart ..... and the fixes that I do in SP don't really affect the multiplayer.

I change my mouse sensitivity in multiplayer, then when I restart EE everything's back to default (besides, of course the SP mouse sensitivity).

Any ideas on how to fix it?

idk if there is any file on c:/sierra which saves your sensitivity. But if there is any, you could try setting the proper mouse sensitivity, close EE and make that file Read-Only. Then start EE again.

well if there is i've got no idea how to find it lol

Fixed it.

I basically did what you said, but through the registry. I just checked the values for Mouse Sensitivity and tried them one by one until I found the best one. Then I made them "read only" (had to put the whole EE on read-only since I couldn't do it with just the mouse sensitivity).

If anybody encounters the same problem, feel free to contact me, given I know what a pain in the ass this problem can be.

If you can write a post with a title like: "SOLVED: Mouse Sensitivity Keeps Changing" and some basic steps people can follow to fix the issue, I'll add it to the solved problems index, which will make it easy for others to find it (or for mods/admins to find it for people who ask them).

Be sure not to select saved games folders as read only lol.... Game might crash if someone tries to save, and your windows is saying: "NOPE, can't save here."
