Rome: Total War Mouse Problems!

[kaZangy]

Hi Everyone!

I was playing the Rome: Total War demo today, and the game looks awesome, and I want to buy it. However, the only thing stopping me is the mouse lag/delay/acceleration (basically when I move the mouse from A to B, there is a delay until the cursor actually moves). The Game itself is very smooth, and so is the camera scrolling, etc.

I have no problems with other strategy games, if that matters. My specs are:

Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel Core i5-480m @ 2.67 GHz
Intel HD GMA Graphics
4GB DDR3 RAM

I know integrated Intel graphics are not super duper and stuff like that, but it a actually plays a lot of my games pretty well, including Rome: Total War. It's just the mouse lag that really annoys me. By the way, I have a Logitech m310 Wireless mouse with a 2.4 GHz connection, and I don't think I need to get a new wired mouse because my regular mouse usage (on the internet, desktop, etc.) is really smooth and fluid and accurate, and many of my games are good with the mouse too. I don't know how to disable vertical sync in the Rome: Total War options, and my graphics control panel doesn't even have the option to turn it off. All anti-aliasing is off.

Please help! I appreciate it! Thanks a lot!

"Wireless mouse" is the key here.

Try out a plain old cable mouse (if you got one somewhere on the side) and everything should be fine.

In every case don't buy another one before you tried it as i don't want you to spend money because
of something which is in the end caused by another reason but changing the mouse should do the trick for you.

I'm resurrecting this thread because I just found how to fix mouse lag in Rome TW when you run on Win7.

1. Disable V-sync from game or control panel. Any limit on fps will get you more mouse delay.
2. Disable Mouse acceleration, Enhance point precision, etc from Win7. This will fix Rome cursor and you will have a better experience in many games(especially shooters) without stupid Windows enhancers.

Go into your mouse configuration and turn off acceleration, trails and anything else not default.
