Why is my mouse overly sensitive in Quake2 or other Quake engine games after playing Half-Life since I upgraded to version 1.0.0.9 and Team Fortress Classic?
The problem some people have experienced is that after playing HL, the mouse is VERY sensitive in Q2 until you reboot. It seems this problem may be limited to systems with a wheel-type mouse installed that also has a mouse utility installed that adds extra features for the wheel. I’ve seen it happen with both the MS Intellimouse and the Logitech wheel mouse. In the case of the MS mouse, it seems the problem can be fixed by uninstalling the Intellipoint utility that comes with the wheel mouse. You don’t need the utility to use the wheel in Windows or games, however by uninstalling the utility you’ll lose some advanced features like wheel scrolling support in applications that weren’t originally written to use the wheel. I haven’t heard if the same works for the Mouseware utility that comes with the Logitech wheel mouse. Try uninstalling it and see if it fixes the problem. Hopefully Valve will address this problem in a future patch.
