Ok, my system till recently only had 128 megs of RAM. I get Tribes 2, and it runs choppy like, and I go and get a stick of 256, throw it in there and now I have 384. My computer sees it, everything's fine, T2 runs a helluva lot better. Last night I load up UT, and my mouse is acting all sorts of messed up. When I move it, it moves 1/2 to a full second later from when I moved or turned. It's driving me up the friggen wall.

Take the 256 MB ram out, uninstall T2. Then send the 256 mb ram to me. Simple solution

Assume the rodent is fuxx0r3d and phone that hotline everyone was bandying around couple months ago to get a free replacement from MS. Can't hurt to try it.

i had that same prob, too all you gotta do is remove all the key bindings that go with the mouse wheel. (ex. i had the wheel button set to "close." just set it to default) that should fix it

You've gotta be kidding. I've got a MS Optical, and it works just fine with other games. Tribes 2 better not try to take issues with it, because I'm NOT buying a new mouse.

I figured out the problem with the help of an ex-DFB bud. Tribes2 comes with DirectX 8a. Direct3d in UT didnt like that. I switched to OpenGL, and all is good. Mouse acts just fine in UT, and Tribes runs nicely

take out the old 128 and put the 256 in. 384 is prolly to much for your comp to handle.
