Mouse Issue

Still Mildly Glowing
Quick question;

I run F1&F2 on a resolution of 640x480 (not much of a choice in the matter really)
BUT my screen resolution is 1280x1024.

Now.

When I run F1 or F2 the mouse moves WAY to fast for my taste. I have to put effort in to make it move normally. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Tried;
Adjusting the mouse sensitivity in PREFERENCES. -FAILED
Adjusting the mouse sensitivity in the fallout.cfg file. -FAILED, After saving the fallout.cfg file SOMEHOW the original value returns when playing the game.
Reinstalling. -FAILED

Any ideas?

Look.

The mouse speed IN Windows itself is FINE.

But the mouse in F1&F2 moves WAY too fast.
Probably the game keeps the mouse sensitivity settings from Windows, but switches from 1280 x 1024 to 640 x 480 , ergo, the mouse moves faster.

Now I am NOT going to turn the mouse sensitivity settings lower in Windows, everytime I want to play F1 or F2, and then turn it back again when I need to work in Windows.

Be reasonable.

Am I really the only one who has experienced this problem? Surely someone has an idea? Because it is getting pretty F*CKING ANNOYING.

Shout if you are willing and ABLE to help.

Thanks in advance.
 
Try to use some Fallout2 patching tools to set the display of your game to 800x600, 1024x768... Or you can try to run it in windowed mode which also requires a patch. I hope you'll find some of these useful :)
 
Yes, I HAVE tried that. Didn't quite work out though. The screen got distorted and most of things that SHOULD appear on screen DIDN'T and things that SHOULDN'T appear on screen DID. Only worked for Fallout 2 by the way.

No, I've tried about everything and it seems that I just have to get used to it since there is no OBVIOUS solution here.

But thanks for the trouble anyway, appreciate it.
 
Are you using any non-official patches? If not, this should be in Game and Tech Help.
 
you could try searching for a toll that alters the mouse refresh rate, if you drop the mouse refresh rate down low enough it might solve the problem.

google search mouse refresh rate tool
 
DarkLegacy, don't post pics that are hundreds of kB when you can easily size them down or decrease the data density.

Yes, I'm using both non-official patches. I apologize for the mix-up though.

Actually WORKED. I read through a variety of forums about this, and you can change the refresh ratio in the mouse-hardware section.

My humble gratitude is yours.

damn i'm good :)

Though I didn't think it would work some I'm more surprised than you.

What tool did you use? Or was it within the mouse driver itself?

Could you post exactly what you done to get it to work correctly, and maybe an admin could add it to the FAQ for getting FO2 running correctly in XP
 
It WAS in the mouse driver itself.

BUT.

Just recently I crashed my PC, LOOOONG story, even LOOOOOOONGER solution, so I re-installed F1&F2 and tried EXACTLY the same thing but this time it did NOT work.

The mouse still moves like an over-active-hyped-doped-mutated SUPER GECKO. ONLY in F1 though.

So I guess that either some freak-accident had occured that solved my mouse-issue. OR. My mind has altered the fabrics of reality AND history and removed the possible mouse refresh rate solution from my mouse-issue solution list. Which WOULD explain why it doesn't work anymore.

But really, I have no clue.

In fact he posted 2 useless pictures to something that was already told that didn't work.

So wasted my brandwith for nothing. He should be burned!
 
My apologies for the late reply, but I've been quite busy lately.

It could be a mouse acceleration issue, if you have optical mouse.

It IS an optical mouse.

However,

I do NOT know what that concludes then. Any ideas?
