OS X 10.4 mouse/performance problem

Doomguy

I got a problem with the mouse to. I use the mouse for looking around and use the keybord for moving around. the mouse in game feels like the frams per second is really low but when i move with the keybord its fine. i tryed to un add all the high ress stuff to see if that would fix the problem but did not and this is in #497 release

how do i fix this

Due to the way player movement is handled in DOOM, the mouse updates are presently working with a 1/35 second latency. This is necessary presently so that the player movement logic is timed correctly (remove this latency and the game feels very different indeed).

However, you can disable this if you wish by setting cvar input-sharp-lateprocessing 0

I have tryed typing in "input-sharp-lateprocessing 0" "should have tolled you about the mouse being chunky in my frist post but I didn't sorry" but still the mouse is chunky even in the control panle the mouse is chunky

thanks Doomguy

I moved this discussion to a new thread as it doesn't seem to relate to the OP's issue.

For what it's worth, I've been using an old PowerBook G4 with significantly lower specs as the minimum Mac test machine, and everything seems to run normally for me (I'll double check the latest build).

What's the frame rate you're getting? (open the console and type "con-fps 1")

If it's low, try setting "vid-fsaa 0".

EDIT: I checked out the latest build and there seems to be some kind of input/timer issues going on; I'm adding this to the 1.9.8 to-do list. For me setting vid-vsync to 0 reduces the problem a lot, but it doesn't go away.

i'll try typing "con-fps 1" in the console to see what the fps is in game

thanks Doomguy

ok I'm getting 50.0 fps in game and the mouse is still chunky

I'm able to reproduce this issue on my old Powerbook and I'm working on a fix for the mouse event handling.

EDIT: Both issues of laggy keyboard response times and the malfunctioning mouse input should be fixed for Monday's build. I had to apply some OS X 10.4 specific tweaks to the input code.
