Mouse problems are quite common with UT games, try looking for updates :)

Change your mouse mat, use a different surface, i take it your using a optical mouse?

no im using a ball ouse now my optical was old and my cousin broke it cause he gats mad at my games like i got mad @ him so i whent out and bought him a 1100mhz celeron and dropped my old r 7500 in it and told him to have a nice day :)

I've never had a problem with the many of my unreal games and mice.

Sounds like a heat(overclock) issue.

My ti4200 was overheating, and the screen would pause for a few seconds, sounds would still play, and then resume play...

turns out it was heat.... and drivers... :confused: which is quite strange.. but ah..

Try newest catalyst drivers, and putting a fan by video card. (cpu too!!!)

Check that your graphics card is actually supported by the latest catalyst drivers, they were talking about dropping your card. . . .

Go to the download section, and mulch thru the forms till you get to the Catalyst download, and there should be a mini description :D

Try cleaning the rollers that make contact with the mouse ball. If they are dirty it will often cause your mouse to stick.

good news everyone well i cleaned my rollers and it didnt help but it DID need cleaning but...i downloded the drivers (newer ones) for my sound card so now it is regognized better i guess cause now i can adjust advanced options in my games instead of just "hard ware sound"....i can choose eax and what not now and i noticed while playing it wasnt really the game after it would start to chop and the sound would stutter but my comp is like double the recommended all the way around?....but i got the new drivers and it runs fine now :) so it was a sound issue :) relief
