Mouswheel doesn't change weapons anymore

[old.sukhoi]

For some reason my binds to the mousewheel for previous/next weapon change don't work any longer (they have worked in the past). I have checked the .cfg file and I can see the binds but in the Quake control setup menu the mousewheel is not active. I reinstalled the game end the mousesoftware but this does not work. Only when you really scroll the wheel very fast (but really very fast!) the weapons change. It's a Logitech Optical Wheelmouse. Anyone familiar with this problem?

Mousewheel

I know if you change certain settings the mouse wheel b0rks itself, or at least did. Does this happen on all servers, or mod ones, as it may be that the cfg in the mod directory is changing something, and breaking the mouse wheel binds.

It happens also when I play it local and not online so it does not seem to be server related.

Hmm, I presume it works outside of quake
Try starting a map on local, then map_restarting, and see if it works then.

yeah, i had exactly the same online/offline when i set "too much" functions to mouse...

the only thing i founf for that is set back config and ot set too much function, like both side buttons on MS intellimouse explorer...

I noticed that if you scroll the mousewheel for some time (10 sec or so) the weaponchange seems to function, which makes it even more weird. Obviously, the bind seems to work but why is it so unsensitive/delayed?

10) I have a Logitech mouse and the wheel doesn't work. This should be fixed with 1.27h. Otherwise download their fix at http://www.logitech.com/cf/support/mousefiles_pc.cfm

Grab the mouse registry file for gamers....

That's it! I changed the registry acording to the read me file and it worked. Thanks Requ!em.

The best way is to ensure you have your binds in an autoexec.cfg file. That way the binds are forced in each time you start q3.
