I experience mouse lag when I use inventory and menu screens. Is it possible to switch to windows default mouse pointer processing mode without acceleration?

Hmmm, that is unusual. But by the sound of it, if the mouse is stuttering in the menu and inventories, then it's unlikely to be related to the cursor icons used as they are very small memory footprints and practically no calculation for any reasonable (2GHz or better) CPU.

Have you tried reducing certain settings in the graphics menu? If you haven't already, try:

-changing resolution to 1024x768 or lower
-reducing view range to medium

-reducing other details to minimum

-turning off light effects
-turning off wiggle in wind
-turning off fog

-turning off active intensity

I don't have any performance issues, the game itself runs ok. The only problem is that the game uses mouse acceleration, which results in that the pointer runs smoothly but lags half a second from the position it actually should be. Some games have an option to disable it. I think there should be a way to disable it in Stranded as well somehow.

yeah.. the game does NOT have any sort of mouse acceleration! you can't disable or change it because it simply doesn't exist.

IF there is acceleration then it is caused by your OS settings or your mouse driver settings. Stranded II doesn't do that.

That's sad because it's not the OS, the mouse runs completely differently in the OS. ( It's playable, but it's still unpleasant when the pointer runs over the invevtory slot you need and you have to move the mouse really slowly to click it. (

I think I know what you mean, it's that you have a different mouse speed than in windows and even if you put the mouse speed in the options to a higher level the mosue steering just "feels" different than usually in windows.

but as far as I know you cant change this because it is part of the Blitz3d engine which was used to program the game.

If you're using a Windows OS, go to Control Panel >> Mouse >> Pointer Options and uncheck the "Enhance Pointer Precision" which is actually mouse acceleration.

Stranded II is NOT responsible for mouse acceleration.

Your sensitivity can be changed in the Stranded II settings to increase aim movement in game, but on menus, Stranded uses the OS default... I just had a play with it.

Even if you disable this in the game, it doesn't disable it in the OS, so the mouse will still have added acceleration in the game even though you turned it off. I know because I had the exact same problem with Wolfenstein ET. I turned off mouse accel in game but it was still accelerating. After I turned it off in the OS, it was all smooth.

This sounds like a 2D post processing issue.
