My Quake acts strange

Hello people,

Since this afternoon I'm having some problems with my Quake and my PC. The main problem is: my mouse acts weird. The sensitivity seems unstable, and small movement of my mouse (Razer Deathadder 3.5G) isn't even noticed. If i move my mouse with medium speed over the screen, my cursor/crosshair moves slower than it usually does, while I haven't changed any of the settings as far as I know (I added my config to this post). However when I move my mouse really fast, it seems to move faster than it usually does. I only have this problem in Q3A; my mouse acts perfectly fine while surfing the internet etc.. I immediately replaced my config with a backup, and when I tested it against a bot, my whole game was bugging. The bot would have the Battlesuit powerup, without even collecting it. It also disappears out of nowhere. Here are the thing that happened with my computer today:

> Start my pc, play some League of Legends.
> Download "azcfg" and "zap" from the Q3Config topic
> When I tried to open my Razer Synapse 2.0 to change the binds on Mouse 4 and Mouse 5, I got an error. I tried to open it a few times, but it would just close after i few seconds. The strange thing is that I could still use my personal settings (dpi, binds etc...), while the program wasn't working. I figured it didn't really matter, since the driver was still doing its job.
> I watched some old demos, started my Quake 3 Arena, and opened Q3dm17. I changed some settings and added Xaero 5. All looked fine. I executed "azcfg", but my Q3 crashed instantly. I started it again and executed my old cfg. This is where the problems start.
> I pressed Esc to "Join Red team" but my cursor wouldn't move. It only worked when I moved it really fast. I checked my settings, and all was fine, so I figured that it'd have to be my Synapse causing the problems. I noticed my mouse wasn't buggy outside q3, but I re-installed Razer Synapse 2.0 anyways. When I tried to start it, it crashed and I had to reboot. This repeated several times.

I'm running a virus-scan atm, but it doesn't seem to detect any dangerous software. I'm really out of ideas. Does anyone here know what could be the problem?

cheers, divin

Re: My Quake acts strange

Well reinstalling synapse is useless maybe just delete the cloud stored details and make new. About in game mouse behaviour i would try to set different in_mouse values. I had also negative accel on da3.5g while i had in_mouse-1. Reset your configs to basic if nothing really helps and try making a new manually adding commands one by one from console there are not so much. Gl

Re: My Quake acts strange

My biggest concern now is that Razer Synapse doens't recognize my Razer Deathadder 3.5G. It's a real shitty problem, because 3500 dpi is too much to use when you are used to 400 dpi. I can't even work in Excel with this speed. Can someone tell me how to make Synapse 2.0 to recognize my mouse?

cheers, divin

Remove your driver manually in hardware manager and reinstall it.
