    I've got a prospective fix going in for this, but it isn't going to make it for tomorrow's update and will need to be heavily tested before I'll feel comfortable sending it out.

    cl_mouselook_capture_windows_mouse false
    +
    synchronize ( + max FPS = 60)

    reduced the spinning problem by 90% to a playable level for me

    Where do you put this? I'm willing to see if it helps

    I think it's the synchronized refresh, because I tried to limit fps to 60 and added the line in the ini about the mouselook, and it still happened. Ticked the synchronized refresh, and the camera spin disappeared.

    YAY! Thank you!

    edit: Also, my husband uses a different refresh rate and may possibly already have that option ticked on his client, which may be why he never has that problem.

    Where is the sychronized refresh?

    under advanced disply settings

    Found it, nevermind

    Thank you just found it. Thank you, after replacing the mouse and pulling out my hair thie finally has gone away. I couldn't even play it was so bad.

    yeah it was the same for me... so far i've maxed out everything, set my fps to 144(my max), and sync'd and it's not every couple of clicks anymore. still does it, but no where near as bad.

    Syncing the refresh rate worked for me too! It still happens, but only about once an hour now instead of every 30 seconds.

    Having the refresh rate sync seems to have fixed it for me as well. At least so far as I can tell with half an hour of play time.

    Perhaps the devs can make that option turned on by default for people, because not everyone checks the forums for answers.

    This problem is becoming ridiculous for me lately. In the past it was only on rare occasion, but recently it's happening on each login and several times in succession. All I do in here most of the time is run my daily tradeskill apprentice thing, but it's very hard when you click on something and the world turns upside down.

    I don't see this sort of behavior anywhere else in any other game or other application, so whatever the cause, it's specific inside this game for me.

    I hope the fix is coming soon.

    I'm almost grateful that Microsoft messed up so badly as to cause so many people's mice to go insane (almost :p ). It sounds like it gave the devs the 100% fail cases they needed to find a good fix. It was always so elusive before, with no exact steps to reproduce it.. and that is always difficult (sometimes impossible) to debug.

    But yes.. Thank you!! for fixing it once and for all :D

    Yes, the scarcity with which it appeared always made it difficult to track down, but with this latest update it made it a lot easier to get it into a test situation.
