Issues with update 0.5.3

[ibble_dibble_no6]

 

why oh why has everything been reset?

 

all my commander attributes have been reset, all my in-game settings have been reset. now i have to tinker with them to get it back to how i had it. which will now detract from my playing experience as it took time to get them back to how they were.

 

i'm a natural leftie (left handed). the game used follow how my PC was setup. now the game forces me to use rightie (righthanded) settings. yes, i know can change some of the in-game settings but when navigating things outside of playing the game it uses rightie settings, i.e. mouse clicks as an example. this causes issues as my PC settings are setup for a leftie. it seems to cause the game to freeze (for a better of a word) whilst it decides what to do when an area is clicked on. it so annoys me when games change to this, to the point that i actually stop playing the game.

 

its shame if i have to stop, as i really do enjoy playing world of warships.

This is totally broken

 

I use mouse in my left hand , alltho I am right handed ( a hangover from playing FPS for many years using mouse / joystick combo ) .

 

I use a roccat kova in my left hand . fire on left button , alt fire right button and 2 buttons on rhs of mouse .

 

With the new patch it seems that Wows keeps changing its mind every few milliseconds on whether i am using a conventional right handed mouse or a conventional left handed mouse.

 

To select a ship in port , I have to right click anywhere , left click the ship( i hear the wows click sound )  , then right click the ship and voila its selected .

 

I played 1 game , in emdem , x target a ship , scroll button sometimes works but in reverse direction , but does not seem to fix on the targeted ship until i have fired a few rounds , If I press fire button ( left mouse ) my guns start firing , not at targeted ship until it suddenly focuses on target ship , if I release left mouse button my guns keep firing until I press my right mouse button .

 

I seem to have to do this right , left , right click routine to get anything I want to activate from the login screen onwards .

 

game is now unplayable for me .

 

 

Quick check in Eve , tribes ascend and fallout 4 , mouse is working as intended and has been in the past , conclusion is my system and hardware are fine .

i noticed what selous has said when i unsuccessfully tried to use the publictest server.

[Selous]

 

I have found the cause ( but not an acceptable solution )

 

I use windows 7 enterprise ,

 

in the control panel under mouse properties there is a check box titled " switch primary and secondary buttons " I have this checked .

 

This means that with my mouse ( roccat Kova ) I can set it up as a left handed mouse and use the thumb buttons on the right hand side , but still have left button as my primary and right as my secondary ( for windows general use and for games )

 

If I uncheck this box then assuming I wanted right mouse button and primary and left as secondary , then everything in WoWs appears to work as intended .

 

Is this an acceptable solution for me ?  short answer = no , long answer would be very rude as this would mean I have to change the way i use mouse for every other game I play and more importantly it would mean I have to change the way I have used windows/linux and every other program I have ever used .

 

Hope this helps

So a quick breakdown: You are using an outdated Windows and a very unusual mouse setting (I have honestly never heard about left handed people using the mouse differently, although I knew it was possible. Do you change the position of the gearleaver in your car as well?) and complain it doesn't function instantly, but recognize there is a solution. Basically, clicking on a box in the system settings.

What's your problem actually?

You can congratulate the developers that made ​​Mikhail Kutuzov next tripitza insufficiently that has a larger range it yet because the rate of 10 km aiming for overboard I had neither jednoego hit the citadels 30 shells so good luck with that ship built after the Second World War. and if you want to motivate the des moines , too, was built after the war, I say this so that the keel was laid during the war.

So either you extend the reach of either quickly strzelność .

Thing number two continuous reset view of ships from view for compact standard to me already leads to a headache .

how can i be using an outdated version of windows when the game supports it (windows 7 ultimate 64bit)? and if it was an unusual setting how come its in basic windows driver settings and drivers for mice? and yes you would change the gearleaver in a car if it suited your needs. your point being???

 

the complaint is why is something that has worked in-game before the last update, now instantly stopped working and is making problems for lefthanded users. and the so called solution that you pointed out isnt a satisfactory answer to the problem. why do i have to adapt my game play (which would be made harder by doing so) because of narrow minded persons attitudes and comments made from people like yourself. i'm asking for constructive help, if you dont have any constructive help, scroll on by and let someone else try and help.

[ibble_dibble_no6]

great,

re-installed game to see if that would solve the issue and now not able to logon to the EU servers. and also unable to raise a ticket with the issue as it keeps asking me to modify it. with what i dont know. so now i'm stuck. unable to play the game or raise a ticket. not for the wanting of trying.

[ibble_dibble_no6]

finally managed to login. so now just unable to play due to game settings for mouse in-game.

The first time I connect my mouse goes crazy as well. I have to click a button about 1,5cm lower on the screen. This is very annoying.

 

The main screen reset to big ship icons and I have to choose "compact carusel" everytime. Bhà .....

The compact carusel seems to be fixed now, at least for me. But yes, yesterday it was messed up.

I use windows 7 as well , it's not that outdated. 

[Gatt]

Outdated Windows 7? Since when?

 

WoWS screwed with mouse and buttons and Win7 is outdated .... this is fun.

ok, it is not fixed, after 2 battles it resets again to the normal view :-(

Guys, is your mouse cursor working fine? I point a ship or a button and the mouse select something above.

 

Generally speaking the pointer select always an area about 1cm  above the cursor.

 

Sometimes the problem goes away after a battle, Sometimes it comes back.

True for me....I am a lefty but after years of using a normal mouse and getting used to it I tried changing the click buttons for a few battles while playing WOT's...impossible due to muscle memory etc. These days I use a left handed Razer Death adder (surprisingly hard to find a left hand mouse with thumb macros) for the extra thumb buttons but have the two finger buttons set the normal way for right handed. My left index finger does both buttons by the way and always have. Best of both worlds.

everything else, expect the ship compact ship carusel, works perfectly, but than again, i''am a right hander. Curser, Mouse, resolutions, everything perfectly on my end.

Only thing i'am not sure about is that zoom in. I can currently not zoom in like it was bevor. Maybe due a missing or not updated mod or maybe WG changed something about the zoom in, no idea yet.

Is anyone having problems with the "My Teams" tab on the left of the screen?

 

Each time I try to access it, I get stuck on the "Welcome to my teams" message page. There doesn't appear to be an "esc" to exit option and clicking okay doesn't do much either.  I've reinstalled the game from scratch twice now and keep getting the same problem.

Had the same problem last night but turned off the zoom out mod in the first Aslains 5.3 release and zoom went back to normal. If you are using this it could be the reason.

This ^^. The 'zoom out' mod is definitely causing problems.

I dont know if i am only one with this problem that is happening now after this update, before it was all ok. My problem is about ship icons that i put mod folder, it does not matter which package of ship icons i use, when battle starts entire map and game becomes bugged and i have to close the game via task manager only way.  When i delete ship icons from res mod folder and use default ship icons then all is ok and battle starts normally. I would like this issue to be solved because i like to use ship icons mod pack.

That is an issue with the mod, not the game. The patch is only a day old, give it a few days and most of the mods will be working as normal.
