San Andreas Mouse Fix

[EliteTerm]

I've been suffering a problem that when you press ESC or to alt-tab and then return back to the game, the mouse simply doesn't respond.

I've heard from someone that there's a fix for it. Does anybody know of this?


Thanks in advance!

When it does it to me, I alt tab again, then select the icon and go back into game. Once back into the game i press esc, then the mouse usually responds

Also had it. Just try returning to game again, should work.

i just rape escape and move my mouse until it works again

this does work, there is no actual fix for it

Someone mentioned that there's a fix, like this for Vice City: http://www.argonathrpg.eu/forum/index.php?topic=75808.0

Btw, it doesn't work with SA:MP, I tried.


EDIT: I found a fix for it!!

Right click the gta-sa.exe and go into properties, then go into the Compatibility Tab.

Now check Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 2) (Optional, I didn't need it)

Then go look down and check and make sure to turn on:
"Disable Visual Themes" and

"Disable Desktop Composition" and

"Run This Program As An Administrator" (optional, I use Administrator mode for SA:MP, not the game itself)

Hope it works for you guys!

Everyone else (Including me): 'Rape ESC, eventually fixes it self one day'

Hey all of these fixes are just temp including the Compatibility Tab one... I told you about the mod.. but unfortenately it doesnot work anymore as it was on megadownload, I'll try finding it somewhere else though.

I get this problem all the time. I have to keep pressing Esc until it works. There's like a 3% of success per Esc for me:\

I'll definitely give this a go though.


EDIT: OMFG! It works thanks Elite!! <3

Why download a mod when you can just tick a couple of boxes in the compatibility options?

hit esc before you alt tab out.

This happens to me only if i have TS Notifier on.

Is this fix that I found working for you guys?

I know, it's been a religion for me for a loong time and I got tired of it & interested when omaraly mentioned something about a fix so I googled about it for a while, before finding about this that worked for Hess and me, so far.

[Hess]

Its been working for me 100% of the time since I applied those settings. However, I've heard for others it crashes their game :\

So I guess the result varies for different users.

[Radagast]

Am I the only one who has no idea what the hell this fix fixes? I've never had anything like that...

your fix worked originally, but then went on to crash my game every time.
