How do I stop the game crashing with my video card, particularly on 3DFX and Voodoo Banshee cards?

General Technical Issues - Hardwar FAQ
Download the latest game patch. You need at least patch U2.01 to solve all problems. Prior to U1.0 you could solve some of the problems by enabling HardLuck (see What is HardLuck.exe and how do I use it? below) and running the game in windowed mode. Some modern video card drivers are buggy, and may cause the game not to work correctly with the latest game patch/driver/DirectX version combination.

Q.C5- The mouse is moving erratically. What's wrong?

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about XFree86
Most likely, you've specified the wrong protocol for the mouse. Note that newer Logitech mice do not use the Logitech protocol, but instead use Microsoft (or MouseMan) protocol. For earlier versions running under Linux, the solution is to get gpm-1.13 (or later), run it as gpm -t pnp -R, and configure XFree86 for MouseSystems Protocol with /dev/gpmdata as the device.

When I move the mouse it does not stop vibrating...?

Hoverstop - active ergonomic mouse
Yes, that is correct. We define mouse action as clicking and scrolling. Just moving the cursor (usually) does not have any effect, it does not serve a purpose and is not considered to be work. So, when you do not click nor scroll and you do move the mouse around, you are still reminded to take your hand away.

How do I get the controls to stop moving up and down?

WorkMan - FAQ
The window size changes as the program displays different track titles and other things. If you start the program with the "-geometry" option and give a negative number for the Y coordinate, the bottom of the window will be fixed in place and the controls won't move around. Note that you should specify only the window position, and not the size. For example, workman -geometry -0-500 would pop the window up on the right side of the screen, about halfway up (on screens of typical resolution.

The game keeps crashing when I try to connect to a server?

DarkSpace
DirectX 8 is very unstable under older graphics drivers. Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers for your 3D card installed. If you have the latest drivers, but it is still crashing, then download and install DirectX 9.0c from http://www.microsoft.com/directx. You may need to reinstall your video card / sound card drivers after you install DirectX, as sometimes DirectX may overwrite your card's driver files and/or settings with more generic ones that will not work with your hardware.

Why does my mouse start moving itself during play?

Doom FAQ
Older mouse drivers cause a problem with DOOM v1.2. Make sure you are using Microsoft mouse drivers v9.x instead of v8.x. Logitech mouse drivers v6.x work as well. The newest Logitech mouse drivers are available at the FTP site "wuarchive.wustl.edu" in the directory "/systems/ibmpc/msdos/mouse" under the file name "drvr???.zip" where ??? is the version number of the drivers. If you continue to have this problem, try playing with the keyboard or joystick, with the mouse unplugged.

Why does my TNOS keep crashing?

TNOS Installation
It has been noted that starting your servers right at the end of your autoexec.nos file i.e. your 'start' lines, can lead to a more stable system. You should also make sure you are running a fairly recent version of TNOS. At the time of writing this I am running 2.0pl2 for Linux, and it seems to be proving very stable. If you must run an earlier version than 2.0 for Linux, then make sure you do not have the status line turned on, also the tcpgate facility is buggy in earlier versions.

A game crashed and now I can't move my mouse pointer any more, how can I get it back?

Linux Gamers' FAQ
The simplest way to get the mouse back after it has been grabbed by an application which has subsequently crashed is to use the umouse utility, available from http://icculus.org/lgfaq/files/umouse (source with compilation instructions is available at http://icculus.org/misc/umouse.c if the binary doesn't work or you don't trust us). Running the "umouse" binary should release the pointer back into your control.

Make sure you are using the latest drivers for your mouse. You will need Win95/98 drivers - if you are using old Win 3.x drivers you may have a problem. Try looking on the internet for the website of your PC or mouse manufacturer. They may well have later drivers.
