Mouse wheel just stopped working?
SJActress:
Hey guys,
I played FT yesterday and did NOT have this issue.
Today, I downloaded these hacks:
nohumble
relevantwages
wfsanity
nohobbyspam
nostupidonreset
They probably have nothing to do with this, as I took them out and retested to no avail. Additionally, I don't see how it's possible for a hack to change my hardware's behavior.
Anyway, when I get in-game, my mouse wheel doesn't work anymore. Usually, by holding the wheel down and moving the mouse, the camera rotates. It's not responding anymore, and the camera refuses to rotate in the neighborhood or on lots with the wheel. The camera still rotates by using the arrow graphics, and I can move side to side/up and down with edge scrolling.
I checked the Options screen: Edge-scrolling is On and Camera Rotation is on Default (ie. not Sims 1 Style).
Also, I put a fresh battery in the mouse three days ago, so it's juiced up. And I checked the Wheel settings in the Control Panel. There's no option to "turn it off", so that didn't happen.
Any ideas, suggestions? :-\
I hate not being able to rotate the camera with my mouse.
ETA: Did a restart, turned the mouse off, rotated batteries, still won't work. It's not just an in-game problem after all. The wheel click is not working, period. Still could use some advice though. :)

Check your mouse settings, and make sure the middle wheel is set to either 'autoscroll' or 'universal scroll'. I'm guessing it's a non-MS mouse, and many of them have this issue (especially Logitech).

It is an HP wireless mouse that came with my computer, the IQ770.
There's no option for that in the wheel properties. Scrolling still works, clicking does not. ???

Hmm, it wouldn't be in the wheel properties -- it would be in the button properties, if they exist. Some screen where you can re-assign the mouse buttons.

I haven't found anything like that in my mouse options.... :-\
