62.0. "Off on its own???" by ASABET::POMEROY (Up, Up and Away!!) Tue Jun 28 1994 11:09

    Hi all,
    
    I just started getting into Doom.  I have the v1.2 shareware version
    running on my DECpc 433st at work.  I just ran into a problem where
    after starting a new game it all of a sudden just does what it wants.
    What I mean is it starts shooting all by itself and won't stop.  Has
    anyone run into this problem.
    
    Thanks,

    sounds like the dreaded mouse problem thats being discussed elsewhere.
    
62.2GMOUSE = Super LAMEASABET::POMEROYUp, Up and Away!!Fri Jul 01 1994 07:119
    I put the gmouse driver on my PC and it seems kinda lame compared
    to the usual drivers.  What I mean is that the mouse is responding
    rather slow and that while trying to make turns it is super slow and
    takes alot to get the movement needed for the game..  Has anyone else
    run into this situation.
    
    Thanks,

62.3Software isn't setupROMEOS::HARRIS_MASales ConsultantFri Jul 08 1994 22:468
    all (most) mouse drivers have various sensitivity settings. These
    control how fast and how far you have to mous the
    Move the physical mouse to make a corresponding amount of screen
    movement.
    
    Sounds like you need to change the driver settings. (Software)

62.4HEDRON::DAVEBanti-EMM! anti-EMM! I hate expanded memory!- DorothyTue Jul 12 1994 09:0711
I have an interesting mouse problem. I have a Logitec 3 button mouse. In order
to support the newest firmware for my Thrustmaster WCSII, I upgraded the 
mouse driver to version 6.24 (from 6.21). Now Doom has problems where the mouse randomly
takes off on it's own at some point in the game, running about wildly and 
firing at will...adjusting the mouse sensitivity to minimum merly causes 
this problem to hold off a little longer, once it starts I invariably have
to crash the PC as I can't control things long enough to exit gracefully.

sigh...
