Weird Mouse Behaviour

[Jan van Leyden]

Triggered by the 5e license I have installed the latest version of FG (V 3.02.FREE) on my Windows 7 (64 bit, completely patched) system to check it out.

Now FG's reaction to mouse commands are very weird.

In the starting wnidow I'm greeted with some informative display. When I click on button, any button, I'm treated to a different screen where I can set up/select something. Buth whatever I'm doing on this screen, it returns to the starting screen without any action.

With a lot of tries and restarts I finally managed to select the 4e example campaign and actually start the program. Within FGII the weird behaviour continued: I click on the PC button and see a dialog with two PCs. Whatever click I perform next, wherever in FGII, the dialog with the PCs is closed, and on the next click - again wherever - opened again. After a restart I triedmy luck with the Party Sheet, and now this dialog is surreptitiously closed and opened.

This cannot be the way it's intended, as it makes the program completely unusable.

Any idea what might be the problem?

The current version of Fantasy Grounds is 3.0.11. Have you d/l the correct version?

It's 3.0.12 as of the 5E release. But, you're right, the OP should be on 3.0.12, not 3.0.2 (although that might be a typo).

[Jan van Leyden]

Typo confirmed: it's version 3.0.12

Can you check if you can get an updated graphics driver?

Also, check in your graphics card advanced settings and turn off anti-aliasing.

My apologies, I thought 3.0.12 was still test version :)

:confused: That did the trick. Apparently the auotmated update mechanism stopped working last week. *blush*

Thanks, Trenloe!

Oh well, two days later the weird behaviour is back again. The grafics driver is up-to-date, anti-aliasing is switched off and once more only every n-th mouse click is registered correctly. Maybe that my computer is the culprit, but in this condition FG is sadly completely unusable for me.

Any more tips?

Did you use from Steam or from here? Unload/disable the Steam overlay when you are using FG.

No, I don't usually have Steam running on my machine.

Well, looks like a re-install of Windows is in order. :cry: But this will have to wait for the weekend.

In your FG settings window disable "Cross-platform compatibility mode for Linus and Mac" is it's enabled.

[Jan van Leyden]

Thanks Trenloe, but no, it isn't enabled.

As I'm doing this in order to evaluate FG for our use, I'm in no hurry here, so trying to re-install Windows in the weekend will be my next step.

What graphics board is in the machine you are testing this on?

It's an Nvidia Geforce 120M. Not the latest and greatest but stilll.

I finally came around to re-install Windows and bring the machine back to operating conditions with software re-installs, updates, and so on. A first check seems to indicate that the problem is gone.

Huzzah!
