hi to all - mouse problem

[revolution74]

A mighthy hail to all!

I've found this forum searching on the web 'cause I have a problem with Shogun Warlord Edition and Medieval 1.
Recently, I've changed my pc (asus 680i sli, Intel core 2 duo 6700, 2gb ram 800mhz, 2 hd raid 0 and nvidia 8800gts). I've solved all my problems with rome and medieval 2 but now there's a problem with shogun and medieval 1. When i select a unit and I click with mouse to a location, the order fail...the unit moves to another location and only in a straight line (formation).
I've tried to return to old drivers (61.00 and 71.00) but my system doesn't recognize these.
Anyone coul help me?

Thankx

Hi and welcome revolution74,
May I suggest that you try clicking with the left mouse button rather than the right. R:TW swapped the keys over for movement. Good luck and welcome again!

I know that with shogun and medieval 1 you have to left click instead right click. I think that is a graphic card problem......

Well done if you've got all of those working on the same system. I assume you've enabled 2x AA for MTW?

What you're describing here, if I'm understanding you correctly, does not sound at all graphics card related. You are saying that clicking a unit, and then clicking a location, the unit doesn't move there but moves somewhere else?? How do you mean by it only moving in a straight line? Do you mean a line of men, is a single line formation? Or do you mean that it's movement path is a straight line?

[revolution74]

sorry for my english....it means a single line of men

That sounds odd... Could you post a screenshot by any chance?

This is very difficult for me...
I click on the terrain and I hold left button and move my mouse.....
The unit move in another location (often just behind his actual location )and hold a single line formation (random vertical or horizontal).
Remember...Medieval 2 and rome work with no problem at all.

Ok try this: Click on the unit with the left mouse button, release the button (do not hold). Next click on where you want the unit to go, with the left mouse button again (again click and release, do not hold). Any better?

You say "they" move randomly? Is this one unit or two or more units? From what you've said here...

I click on the terrain and I hold left button and move my mouse.....
The unit move in another location (often just behind his actual location )and hold a single line formation (random vertical or horizontal).

...it appears that you're clicking and dragging, and this is causing the long think lines you're referring to. You need to click and click, not click and drag.

Edit: What is your first language? There may be someone here that can explain this to you.

Uh, maybe one idea: couldn't it be due to the computer behaving as if a shift or alt or CTRL keyt was pressed continuously? I'm playing on a laptop, and if I plug in a USB numeric pad, I'm in trouble

Nothing to do....they move randomly.
