Hi, Im really tired of my negative mouse accel in game, as i dont have any problem what so ever in any other game it has to be Shootmania. Though, Ive posted this in early alpha already but dosent seem like it was a bug as no update came about this.

Specs:
CPU: Intel pentium 4 3Ghz 1Gb cache. Socket 775. Motherboard: Msi Gypsum, max supported x16. Memory: DDR2 Dual 2GB (PC2-5300). Graphic: Geforce 7600GT 256MB
Win XP SP3
Mouse mx510 PS/2 / 200hz

Maybe shootmania dont like old mices/logitech?:)

Also tested a program that could show if i have negative accel in game, wich it seem i have only in shootmania. Pictures below.

Quakelive test:
Slow movement: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9h0c3yplibnx1w0/slow.PNG?m
Fast movement: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g9cc7mf3xqgpux9/fast1.PNG?m
No accel here as the pointer didnt touch any of the edge.
Unreal tournament test showed almost same as pics above.

Below there are pics of the test of shootmania(attached). The fast movement the pointer touched the edge on the Left.
"X Range will report the first number as 0 if the left edge was hit when doing a fast left movement in-game."

How come only shootmania does this? Something i could i do about it?.

very interesting

I think the negative accel conclusion is a shortcut. It can come from the way the mouse is taken into account with direct input methods (it is raw input) with this specific mouse/driver, or it can be an engine sided issue more general to more mouses. If it is the later case, it would be cool to have other players to run the same tests in QL and SM for example. I am not sure that it can really illustrate an issue, but I am sure that if there is an issue in that field that we can help, it is critical to look at it.
