[.803][performance] Zooming unresponsive to scroll wheel

from Elemental Forums

All versions of the beta, including the current one, do not zoom smoothly with my mouse wheel.  The mouse, a Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, scrolls smoothly with the wheel in all other programs.

Also, the map works smoothly for all other functions such a panning and rotation.  The zoom is jerky whether in 3d or cloth map mode.  Slow rotation of the mouse wheel produces no effect.  A rapid spin of the wheel will usually result in a small increment in zoom level.

I tried loading Elemental on my computer at work today and zoom seems to work fine there.  I don't really have any idea what this might be related to, so I'm not sure what other information to give you to track this down.  Has anyone else had this issue?

Still an issue with 3C.

I have the same issue Comfort Optical Mouse 3000.  It has made navigating the map frustrating enough to turn me off to the beta, with the assumption that it'll be fixed by release.

Each new beta I play for a few minutes, become frustrated at the mouse, decide it'll get fixed, and quit until the next release.

X-Mouse Button Control is a little program I used to get around this for DragonAge.  It lets you reassign various mouse functions to key presses, on a program by program basis.  I just tried setting it up for Elemental, with wheel up set to = and wheel down set to -.  Works just fine.  :)

Of course, I believe it should still be fixed.  But for the time being it will let folks like me play the beta comfortably.

i don't know if i'm imagining things but it seems to get worse with each release. When i joined at the beginning of beta 3 it was mildly unresponsive but now it's almost impossible to zoom.

Still an issue with 1.0.

A fix for this was implemented after the Sunday patch was released.

I have PM'ed you.

As I PM'd you, the fix you asked me to try worked, but it didn't seem to be incorporated into 1.05.

v 1.06 - mouse scroll works badly. Like other people have said multiple spins to make it zoom. My mouse wheel does not have issues in other games/apps.

 

Also click mouse wheel and moving the mouse does not rotate the view. I don't see how this could be an issue. As a programmer I have never encountered an issue with mousewheel before.

Fix not included in the 1.07 patch. Do you have any idea when we might be seeing this fix included in a patch?

Still not fixed in 1.08. I don't understand. The fix Neil sent me 3 weeks ago works when I apply it; why hasn't it been included in a patch yet?

It can cause some side effects under certain circumstances (it can cause scrolling to flip backwards in certain cases), so a complete resolution is still pending.

Thank you for the explanation.

Still an issue with 1.09 for me.

Still not fixed as of 1.09e.

Is this bug still slated to be fixed at some point?

Still broken in the current 1.1 beta.
