Mouse click problems

For some reason, CoH is no longer recognizing about half my mouse actions, and when it does it often responds wrong. Specifically, I have to click a power 2-3 times to get it to register; usually when it does, it activates the power, but sometimes it instead decides to drag a power to another tray position. Usually that is the power I've been clicking, but sometimes it is an adjacent one.

When I right-click, which I have bound to moving the camera, it usually does nothing, but every once in a while it just briefly allows me to move the camera -- then stops, sticking me in some position where I'm staring at the floor or ceiling and unable to stop.

I know the issue is CoH and not the mouse, because when I right click the mouse icon invariable vanishes and if I drag it down far enough it triggers the dock (I'm running in windowed mode). My computer registers the mouse click, and at some level apparently CoH does too, but the actions don't resolve properly.

Has anyone seen anything like this on the Mac? I thought I'd ask here before the general bugs forum in case it's Mac specific. I'm running Mac OS X version 10.5.7 on a MacBook, and using a USB Logitech TrackMan Wheel as my mouse.

If you have the Logitech software installed, try removing that first (then rebooting) and then trying CoH. Sometimes software can re-map clicks, which messes with CoH.

Hmm. I suppose I could try that, but I've had this setup for quite some time now and it hasn't caused problems before. The only thing that has changed is the new set of CoH patches I downloaded (after not playing for a few weeks). Looks like that would be the March 2 patch, no idea if it had anything mouse-specific in it.

Try also using the Reset Keybinds button on the Keymapping options page. There might be some corrupted settings there.

Are you using an older Macbook with Intel GMA 950 or a newer one with the nvidia 9400M?

I did try resetting my keybindings; I have a bind for that for just such occasions. This Mac has the NVIDIA 9400M.

Does the trackpad behave the same or just the mouse?

The trackpad behaves the same.

In testing it out, I was able to clarify a bit of the behavior. It seems that it requires a double-click to act like a single click; with only a single click, it thinks I am holding down the mouse. Hence if I click one power and then another, it thinks I clicked, dragged over, and unclicked, so it swaps the two power icons.

Send a support request (help.ncsoft.com). Meanwhile I may have to go to the Apple Store next week and try out CoH on one of the newer Macbooks.

At tech support's prompting, I reinstalled my Logitech driver. Now everything works great. Guess I should have trusted you initially, despite the trackpad being screwy too! Thanks for your help, CuppaManga.
