Help! EQ2 has become unplayable. Mouse hesitation

[Kaaz]

<p>I just bought a kicking new machine.  AMD chip, 2 gig mem, 8800gfx vid card.  Running Vista, patched with updates.</p><p> I've been playing the game 2 weeks with no problems, then suddenly the mouse is sticking for up to 10 seconds every 4-6 seconds.  It is intolerable.</p><p> Only happens with EQ2 client running.</p><p>HELP.  What could be wrong?  I haven't installed any new software, or any new hardware.  I guess it could have been since the patch?  Is this a known issue?</p><p>thx</p>

<p>If this is a wireless mouse and you have other wireless devices close by running, then that would cause this.</p>

If its a dualcore cpu controle that the game runs on CPU0 and not CPU1 if its runs on CPU1 then  you get mouse lag

<p>Sorry for not replying sooner - I thought I had the problem solved, but it has returned.</p><p>So the chip is AMD's latest dual core.</p><p>I've noticed it is happening outside of EQ2, even when I'm in Word or using IE browser.  So I guess this is not an EQ2 issue at all.</p><p>The mouse is an optical mouse with usb cable connect.  I've noticed when the hesitation occurs, the mouse light turns off.  I tried switching usb ports and the same behavior continues.  It does not appear to be hesitation on the UI (for instance, in Word, the cursor continues blinking).</p><p>Any ideas what is happening? Running Vista ultimate with all the latest patches.  This is very frustrating.</p><p>EDIT:  Disregard. I switched to a different optical mouse and it seems to be working fine now.  Strange, that mouse worked forever with no problems, just goes to show eventually everything fails.</p>
