Lmg Sputtering

<div class="IPBDescription">(pretty it's a mouse issue)</div> for some reason (yet to be determined, but most likely the mouse) when I fire the LMG it isn't continious, instead it shoots random (while I have the mouse button down)

for example:

bam,bam,bam,bam ... bam,bam,bam.......bam,bam... etc

is that a feature of the LMG (I'm pretty sure it isn't). my mouse is a logictech Click! optical mouse and it isn't all that old (I got it in July)

does it just need a good cleaning (on teh inside) and if so how would I go about doing it and should I bother doing it or get a more experienced person to do it?

thanks in advance

*EDIT*

I don't know if it happens with the HMG or not since i usually don't use it, and I'm 99% sure it doesn't happen in other games but I could be wrong.

I'm going to check both out now

*EDIT2*

ok after test a few mods out I know NS isn't the only with this happening.

    Are you lagging terribly? A poor ping could probably cause this...

    Yeah I'd say its either lag, rate problems, fps problems, your mouse, or something messed up when you installed NS (if this happened since you installed it). I'd recommend making your rate 9999 and your fps_max 101. To do this, load up NS, bring down the console with the ~ key, and type rate 9999 and fps_max 101.

    To see how your system is performing during gameplay, type net_graph 3 in console. A little thing will appear in the bottom right of your HUD which shows your ping, fps, packet transfer, and choke. It's useful when you're trying to see why you're lagging.

    It might also be your graphics card (which one do you have?). Maybe NS is just too high end for it? Try making your graphics settings low in the options menu, if that doesn't work, I'd either reinstall NS or buy a new mouse or graphics card.

    I know it's not PC lag (I'm almost certain) I have a Geforce FX 5600 ultra 128mb
    and 768, I'll try net graph 3 in the morning , but when I put in net graph 1 it says I'm getting 20 FPS, now I know without a doubt I'm getting higher than that.

    I don't believe it's my ping, I have ADSL since I believe I get a ping around 60-80 on most servers ( don't hold me to that)

    if none of the other things help I'll reinstall NS, if that doesn't help then I guess I'm gunna have to gritt my teeth and bear it (besides I'm good with the shottie <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

    I'd rather not get a new mouse since I got this one about 2 months ago.


    thanks for the help.

    Cleaning an optical won't do that much. I can only say I've been constantly having the same problem in Beta 5 exclusively - loading up Beta4a feels like I'm firing off a catalyst pack in comparison. I can only assume its exclusively visual, and/or an extension of the weapon upgrade bug (which induces recoil).

    It's your fps.

    FPS 20 will have sputters in the LMG. My video card sucks, so I know from first hand experience.

    Dayam those Optical mouses are evil, i gotta feeling your optical mouse reciever isnt processing the mouse hold continuously.

    Ball-Mouses with a roller in middle and wire are elite! Not as high tech but i would rather Snipe with my crosshairs STILL and not juddering on the spot like with those anoying laser mouses. (cant hit anything with lasermouse. Literally! *shake*)

    I have had this problem ever since B5 - sometimes my wep doesnt fire at all.
    Its not a lag issue - have dsl and low pings
    Its not a rate issue - I have tried changing them and it makes no difference
    Its not an fps issue - i have 84 fps constant
    Its not a mouse issue - happens with various mice - and have no trouble in other games
    And btw, the weapon is NOT firing - its not just an animation thingy

    Quite frankly, I'm out of ideas and dunno what to do about it - has any1 got any suggestions?
