Frederick_1 Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 When I want to select an entity I often do need to do this twice or three times, until I get the control panel. I see the entity is highlighted but I get no response to my try to select it. 0ad is a time critical game, especially horses often get lost, because I can not select them in time to draw them back. I play in 0.1x turtle speed and do a lot of micro managing especially in small battle situations, and this unnecessary losses are annoying. I thought this was due to my trusty PS2 mouse which served me well in non gaming tasks several years. So I bought a "gaming mouse" (GEM SPG 147) but it is the same. Or is my hardware unsuitable? I do have an Intel 9600k which is mostly running around 4.4 GHz and a nvidia 1650 Super on medium graphic displays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeTe Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I noticed same but it happens only on game start in online multiplayer game. And it sometimes never selects units so I have to restart. In game it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 @Frederick_1 @BeTe Thanks for the report. Can you give us more information about your system(s)? OS Name + userreport_hwdetect.txt? See https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths Do you have 2k 4k, or widescreen monitors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the autociv mod could give you some hotkeys for selecting some additional unit types. Maybe then you could handle control groups even better...

Can you give us more information about your system(s)? OS Name + userreport_hwdetect.txt? It is Ubuntu 20.04. I use the proprietary nvidia driver because this was the only one supporting 1650 super at install. See https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths Do you have 2k 4k, or widescreen monitors? I was playing at 1980x1200 and now at 1600x900 because this is a TN Display the other not. Not much difference Where was my test gone??.. oh it is in the quotation. I use Ubuntu 20.10. Generic nvidia driver, because this was only on supporting 1650super on install. My desktop environment is mate. I feel no difference in windowed or full screen mode, excpbt some Hotkeys which are used in mate. userreport_hwdetect.txt Edited January 3, 2023 by Frederick_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use autociv, this really enhances game altough currently I do not use all features, I noticed no difference at install of autociv. Did not bother because I adressed the problem to my old mouse.

Now that I changed to "4" game is much smoother. Albeit I have to try it in a big battle. At in built up an some skirmish it feels much better. Maybe I need to try new Debian. Hope my graphic card is supported now. But system update always need more timeand preparations, don't want to do this in a rush.

Not all the time.. This is why I thought I need a new mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
