March 4, 201214 yr Frans, is this both in windowed and fullscreen or only one of them? Are you using a special mouse like a gaming mouse? If so, which one? Anything else special that might help us? Heya Tony, In both windowed and fullscreen. The mouse pointer moves a bit, but then stop and disapear/freeze. My mouse is working fine outside the ANW screen. I am using a silvercrest mouse [sTMS 22.8A1-M] I also tried it with a Microsoft Compact Optical mouse 500v2.0 [basic mouse] Frans P.S. I only face the problems with ANW. HUCE is working without any problems [but, I am not interested in HUCE that much ]
March 7, 201214 yr Someone can help me with the mouse-issue? I need technical support. I know how to play the game, but, I do not have the [technical] knowledge to solve this problem myself. In one or the other way, the compability thing is not working. Windows7 install the game properly, it also start normally, but as soon I touch the mouse. Problem start. Many thanks and best regards, Frans [aka Taitennek]
March 9, 201214 yr Someone can help me with the mouse-issue? Two things I would try, neither is likely to help... 1) Try a lower screen resolution on your computer like 1600 x anything. What screen resolution are you running? My left screen is 1280 x 1024, center is 1920 x 1080, and right is 1920 x 1080. Normally I run H3 on the right-hand screen. 2) Uninstall any software that came with the mouse so that you are using the bare Windows mouse driver. Third, you might try contacting Russell or Don Gilman, can't say I've seen mouse issues in 3.10. Final thought, make sure you applied the update via the check for updates mechanism or by downloading from Matrix member's area.

I have tried to play ANW3.10 with recommended screen resolutions, no result. I removed silver crest software and tried it with the basic Microsoft [plug/play] mouse, no result I did contact Rusty already 1 week ago, also did contact Don Gilman. He asked Rusty to look at this issue. By the way. 3.9.4. is running without problems. 3.6.3 and ANW 3.10 are the two versions with the mouse problems. Thanks for your advise, I really appreciate. Frans.
March 10, 201214 yr Two more approaches you can try while waiting for Russell: 1. Edit harpoon3.ini and change the line MouseSpeed=1 to MouseSpeed=1024 . Save the file then try the game. If it works, you can keep adjusting the value until it works in a way you like. Smaller numbers mean faster mouse. Usually a value of 1 or 2 is optimal. 2. Run the game with as little display hardware acceleration as possible. a. Switch to a basic Windows Theme, see b. Set the properties of the harpoon3.exe to match the attached screenshot.
March 10, 201214 yr I had touble getting my regular mouse to work unless I set the properties to run in 256 color mode. Using Widows 7 Professional.
March 10, 201214 yr Finally the mouse is functioning!!!!! Thanks Tony for your useful advise! <_> Frans Oh, what part helped? Congrats!
