Mouse Locking In Ns?

I had 3 incendents were my primary attack key was locked. I use the left mouse button as my attack button. It happense after u spawn. u cant use your primary attack until the next time u spawn. To recreate this u have to, if im not mistaking, use the primary attack alot when waiting for spawning.

Also sometimes u cant use the crosshair as well. this happense when u switch between screens (ALT + TAB).

I would love to make an demo but it would not help to c a screen where i cant shoot or move my crosshair

PS there is nothing wrong with my mouse. This only happence in NS 3.xx.

    I believe it is due to steam, and not to NS. try hitting ~ twice. (to bring up the console and put it away again)

    I've lost my ability to use mouselook a bunch of times when something or other threw me out of NS. (Error messages, popups, IMs...)

    Not sure if this is your problem, but if you can recreate it, see if what i said works.

    Ic3Man, there are also occational errors when you spawn when one or more of your guns dont play thier attack animations or sounds, but still are actully shooting. Check your ammo counter, does it go down when you hit your fire button?

    The alt tab issue is related to your graphics card/drivers and steam.

    Its quite likely you have mouse drivers/tools loaded for windows which will affect game usage in steam, please check and disable/un-install these and try again.

    I quite familliar with that problem, but the pistol and knife r displayed empty in the hud with that bug. Im possitive that this problem isnt that bug u mentioned. In this case the primary attack button really doesnt work. This also has not to do with alt+tab i believe.
