Severe control delays when using mouse controls

[Papaya14 481]

Hi everyone, I've recently started using mouse controls ever since getting a keyboard that wouldn't allow me to turn and shoot at the same time, and to my surprise I've taken a bit of a liking to the mouse controls. However a big problem is turning me off it at the moment, it's a problem with delays in turning the turret when moving the mouse. What I mean is, when using the mouse controls, sometimes the turret (and a lot of times even the whole tank) refuses to move, until about a second or two later...and by then I'm already dead! The problem is very obvious when FPS spikes or gets below ~30. I know mouse controls gets a lot of hate, this might be one of the reasons why. Along with the fact that it's very slow to turn! It could use a lot of optimisations.

 

I use Firefox. I've tried this on several other browsers too, and including the standalone version, and the problem persists. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration but that just makes the problem far worse. And yes, I've cleared my caches, multiple times. What could it be?

That might be it but I'm not sure. I have an AMD A6-5200 2.0 GHz and 4.0 GB RAM. So it should be enough to run Tanki with all graphics settings off, at least according to systems requirements page.

actually it should.

i recommend not to use mouse controls as currently they are quiet bad according to me that is.

u should also try to see that ur using as much low RAM as possible.

Hey you lot shouldnt be talking smack about mouse controls sure they are a little bit buggy with brown screen errors and delays but in due time they will be fixed the problems have already been reported we just need to wait for tanki devs to fix it.

 

FYI i use mouse controls all the time and <3 using it

Agreed. Mouse Controls have a lot of potential, but sadly is neglected and faces the problems that I described above. If devs simply fixed issues with brown screen and controls delays and turning speed (mouse sensitivity option would be amazing) then I might say it would be the better way of playing.

I have other uneccessary programs turned off while playing Tanki. I will continue using mouse controls but now and then I'm still forced to go back to keyboard because of the problems! :wacko:

At first I thought the problem is directly related to FPS since it seems to get worse with lag spikes. But I found the control delays happen even during good FPS (50+). It's becoming very annoying at this point. I hope the problem is addressed soon.
